What's fun is that every npub already has a lightning address by default with npub.cash
you can send sats to anyone by using
"their npub"@npub.cash
They can use cashu.me to redeem and even set to redeem automatically
Cashu.me is a pwa and has lots of features including NWC
Minibits is the top android and now ios cashu wallet. You can buy a vanity lightning address to put in your nostr profile
Select your mint then send/receive zaps
Mints are lightning nodes. Mints use lightning to settle between them. Cashu wallets can generate and receive lightning invoices. Cashu wallets can pay any lightning invoice.
They also let you send cashu tokens aka nuts to other users in the same mint for no fees. You can send nuts out of band too like in DM's, nostr notes, text messages, emails, qr codes, in the mail or as emoji's using
https://emoji.paulbutler.org/?mode=decode or in a meme using https://www.memeamigo.lol/meme
You can keep your balance on multiple mints and soon be able to pay a single invoice from two mints at the same time.
Cashu to me is better ln custodian because of sincere privacy gains and bearer asset held on the device itself.
Cashu lets brand new users build up a stack to open a channel once they have experience.
With Zeus merchants can just receive any amount, payable with ln, no channels, complete privacy and move as they see fit.
