Just want to share my observation around the UX when setting up ecash/LN wallets for a Nostr profile.

The main differentiator was the ability to create a wallet that gets assigned some random "minibits.cash" address that you can immediately use as your nostr LN address.
On the other hand, cashu.me generates npub/nsec together with the wallet (basically ties them together) when you "enable LN address". There is an option to bring your own nsec with a clear warning that it's not recommended and it's dangerous.
Another thing is that minibits has a proper app while cashu is PWA.
Cashu provides a plethora of advanced options, though. I am sure both are great options but minibits seems a bit more user friendly.
Did I miss anything during the setup? Trying to move past the noob phase.
It's just very convenient to have a web-based alternative. I love cashu.me.
True observation that seed in Minibits is not cryptographically linked with the nostr keypair (l believe it's the case in cashu.me), there are pros / cons for both approaches - might worth some deeper analysis.
I believe that generally should be derived nostr keys from words.. (not otherwise) but it has some trade-offs.. So I actually start with nsec as of now.. (and derive seed from it)
