Connect LND node via Lightning Node Connect (LNC) to the Alby extension
LNC by Lightning Labs in the Alby browser extension provides users with another way to link their remote LND node and enjoy the power of non-custodial lightning payments on the web leaving slow connections over tor to the past.
As a LND node user, you can now connect to Alby through the following steps:
Step1: Install the Lightning Terminal Daemon (litd) on your LND node
Step 2: Use the received credentials to access Lightning Terminal in your local web browser
Step 3: Create a new session in the 'Lightning Node Connect' menu
Lightning Node Connect menu
Step 4: Generate your pairing phrase
Add a label
Set permissions: use Admin to be able to receive and send payments via Alby on websites
Click on 'Submit'
Lightning Node Connect menu
The pairing phrase (typically 10 English words long) is copied to your clipboard
Step 5: Enter this pairing phrase in the LNC connector of the Alby browser extension
Step 6 (optional): If you don't have lightning channels yet, you can follow this setup wizard to fund your node and open your first channel.
That's it. 🚀
