Write down your Cashu seed phrase.

Almost-perfect privacy means the mint cannot recover your ecash. If it could, it would be able to: 1) track you, and 2) move your ecash without your permission.

It can do neither.

Assuming a relatively small balance, probably OK to keep that seed phrase in a password manager right? Could even use that as a decoy phrase 🤔

Hard to make generally statements but I can tell you what I do: I only keep small amounts in a mint and my seed phrase is in a password manager.

It depends on yout risk tolerance and your opsec philosophy, but I use Bitwarden to store my seeds, as well as in two other places. But I do not store them in plaintext.

I encrypt the seeds, and store the encrypted text in my password manager. It adds another layer of protection in case your password manager is compromised.

Additionally, I keep the encrypted seed in my encrypted note platform which is synced to a private git repo, and I convert the encrypted seed to QR code and I print it so I have a hardcopy safely stored on site in my emergency kit.

I was thinking of a use case. Office lottery pool. Instead of buying a fiat lottery ticket every week, you buy BTC.

It’s a small tax that doesn’t need a chain entry, just trust.

Does cashu make sense for this?
