Export transactions with metadata

[badonyx]

Feature description

Alby as a Lightning wallet needs a way to export transactions since there is no other way to track transactions e.g. for personal accounting. It should include metadata like amounts sent/received, fees, addresses/hashes, description where available, etc.

Describe the solution

An export function could be added to download transaction history to CSV. An example for comparison is Wallet of Satoshi which exports a CSV like this

utcDate,type,currency,amount,fees,address,description,pointOfSale
2023-01-01T12:00:00.000Z,CREDIT,LIGHTNING,0.00000420,0,lnbc1abc123,"Thanks, sats received! Note: Sats for xyz",false
2023-01-01T13:00:00.000Z,DEBIT,LIGHTNING,0.00000069,0,lnbc1def456,"Sent zap!",false
2023-01-01T14:00:00.000Z,CREDIT,LIGHTNING,0.00000069,0,lnbc1ghi789,"{""nostr_key"":""nostr_value"",...}",false

For your Alby account there is an CSV export over here:

https://csv.albylabs.com

However, we don't have that for the extension yet. Does that help?

[badonyx]

This looks like an elaborate scam. I've never seen this albylabs.com domain before.

[reneaaron]

It's not. We have several (experimental) apps running on this domain:

• pos.albylabs.com
• csv.albylabs.com
• zapplanner.albylabs.com

You can see the code over here:

Also, the app just requests reading your transaction history and will not be able to spend any funds.
