Is this the first time the Alby Extension is powered by Cashu?

Thanks to the gonuts developers for making this so easy to implement in go!

This experiment truly shows the power of open protocols such as NWC and Cashu ⚡️

That is beautiful! It's certainly the first time a Cashu wallet can connect to Alby. How does it work, is there a Cashu wallet running in the background (in the browser?)?

The devs at nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw have build a Cashu wallet that works with NWC but afaik it can't export the connect string so that Alby can use it.

I want to use this so badly. It's the first time I would be able to zap on nostr from a Cashu wallet with a single click.

Congrats, definitely looking forward to diving into the code.

Thanks! The cashu wallet runs inside the NWC app. You can run the NWC app locally or in the cloud, and connect to it from all your apps that support NWC.

Ok insane! Can you share the link to the code! I'd love to check it out and add it to the awesome-cashu list.

Also please make sure to join our dev chats on telegram and/or discord if you haven't done so already! I'm sure there will be people who love this as much as I do.

It's very early, but here's a draft PR: https://github.com/getAlby/nostr-wallet-connect-next/pull/185

Things will likely change a lot. I will let you know if I have any updates!
