nostr:npub1hx23cylx8svputuezal2ur5d7wz2r4lvvjudk2q2j33u8f3rge3slc9t6a hi! -- I published the specs this is based on just today; so right now Nutsack is the only client you can use as an embedded wallet like this

Tomorrow I'll make Highlighter work with this spec too and hopefully others will support it too 😀

Welcome to nostr, btw! 😀

Please enlighten me, how you do all this for free (correct me if I'm wrong). When I see having to run a LN node I have to spend a minimum of 200,000 SATs to even begin transactions.

What sorcery are you doing?

That's because it's custodial wizardry: when you deposit, the invoice shown is not your wallet, it's the LN node of the mint you selected during the setup. Then the mint, once receives the payment, mints to you some ecash tokens, that are something similar to gift cards. The balance you see is of these rcash tokens, pegged 1-to-1 with sats.
