There is no need to become a "Lightning jockey" to use Coinos or Minibits. Both are dead simple. And to connect them to Alby, you just need to snag a Nostr Wallet Connect string from the settings and paste it into your Alby account settings. Specifically, go to Settings > Wallet Configuration and choose to link a wallet. One of the options will be to do so using Nostr Wallet Connect. Choose that option and paste in the connection string you got from Coinos or Minibits. Then you're done.
No need to set up channels. No need to manage liquidity. Just free, custodial Lightning.
I do like the idea of Alby partnering with a custodial wallet provider, but I doubt they would go that direction. They are wanting to promote self-custody Lightning. That would be a step in the opposite direction, and a tacit admission that self-custody isn't for everyone.
