Start with a custodial wallet like Cashu, get a Lightning address, and start accepting payments instantly—no setup fee.
Later, upgrade to self-custody when it makes sense and auto-sweep to your own wallet at your chosen threshold.

May be a dumb question, but you can sweep your cashu to onchain cold storage via swaps?
Not a dumb question. The answer is yes.
Zeus swap?
That’s cool, never realized that. Thank you. Would love to see more video tutorial content 🤞🏼
Permission to ask an actually dumb question.
How come my auto-sweep keeps failing? First time user of Lightning and cashu for that matter so maybe I’m starting off too strong.
Good questions. Having any issues w manual sends?
Isn’t it because they are sending small amounts? Isn’t the minimum 25k?
“Not enough funds to cover payment.” I’m making sure the fee included doesn’t exceed but no matter how small I can’t seem to manually send either.
We recommend removing and re-adding the mint in question and trying again.
Minibits was also having some operational issues this week, so you may want to also change your default mint for the time being, if issues persist.
Who are some mints that you recommend? Also best practices for using mints? How many, etc
21mint.me has always been reliable for me
Wouldn’t you loose your funds if you removed the mint??
No. You can restore your Cashu funds deterministically (as long as the mint is still operational). Just hit the ‘Check for existing funds’ toggle when adding the mint.
How are you able to send ecash from one mint to another?
Generate an invoice with one mint and send it with funds from another. It should be clear which one you’re using in the UI on the send and receive views.
Hm just tried this. Sent 100 sats from minibits to voltz mint, but I don’t see it there. I removed the mint, re-added it and even ticked the look for funds option you mentioned. Any idea what I did wrong here?
If the balance doesn’t register, go back to the invoice in the Activity view and it should complete the payment.
Got it. Thank you, learned something new.
Seems that there’s a few little bugs or Easter eggs that some users need to know about, such as this issue
Another tutorial 🤣🤣🤣
Multimint swaps (send ecash from one mint to another) in cashu.me is a piece of cake, hopefully zeus will have a similar ux
Thank you nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqpzfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujue3h0ghxjmcq9k4f3 I’ll try that.
I also keep getting timed out errors trying to do any Lightning payments. What would the reason(s) for that be?
Could be your destination doesn’t have good inbound liquidity. Or it could be an issue with your wallet. First start with toggling/pressing the four items under Menu > Embedded node > Troubleshooting.
If you still have issues with payments, try increasing timeout time or max fee limit under the advanced toggle when you have an invoice pulled up, before you hit pay.
Oh I guess liquidity goes both ways doesn’t it lol
I’ve loaded up my primal wallet only one time a year ago with Mutiny and never touched Lightning since. So I can’t remember how I did it. How can I see what my primal wallet’s inbound liquidity is?
The minimum you can sweep is ~25k sats
No, that’s for the swap service
Hmm, what are they trying to do here then?
Sweep from Cashu to self-custody.
Swaps are for Lightning to on-chain and vice versa
Definitely need a tutorial for this cashu sweeping. Looks sick, no idea how to initiate it
Yeah would be helpful for many!
I don’t know… still feels like too many clicks, especially for a newbie. Hmmm… somehow I just don’t feel like waiting. For someone new or older, it’s a bit much, a lot going on. Nothing against #Zeus though, it’s an amazing wallet, one of the best 👌
Just happens on the background once set it.
We’re gonna continue to iterate on the UI and UX though
But it doesn't work if you have zeus with not embedded channel ?
Cashu is tied to the embedded LND node, yes.
If you have a remote node that’s online all the time, you don’t really need it.
why not ? I use minibits for cashu .. atm is the best client ..
Seed isn’t exposed for remote nodes. Have to create a new wallet anyway
Could you explain why Cashu versus the other wallets ? Not a trick question : just don’t know and trying to learn. Thank you .

Thanks mate
I have zeus v0.11 installed on iOS.
I have a cashu.me wallet setup.
I have a zeuspay address already setup to my own lightning node.
I am unable to do this first step: "Start with a custodial wallet like Cashu"
I may be the dumbest person on the planet. I can't find any reference to cashu in this updated app.
Embedded LND only.
See nostr:note1m4067fjrt24dqhu2df2fgr3ytlfv60e865hhya8a9ttx22362t6qp8zged
Or you get a Monero wallet and you are all set - with privacy and self-custody.
He just did the meme.
Bitcoiners that tell newcomers it's okay to start with just a little custody are the worst.
Can I receive ECASH to my lightning address in Zeus?
Not tokens but you can receive to your ecash wallet balance
