I have zero confidence in cashu : one computer on someone’s home ??
Wtf 😳
Discussion
Many contexts where it makes sense.
A company could pay its employees from its mint, obfuscating who received which coins, then each employee could convert at will his tokens.
A family could run a mint for all members, maintaining a single lightning node for everyone.
Etc...
Just use nostr:npub1nyyhnqahf3cgqzcc927x7eqyd2msgplfe27ddn6hpgu2m200wh2s0s7gan if you want privacy.
At least it’s a federation with super big companies in bitcoin ?
Different techs with different compromises.
Fedimint also exists.
I like the "simplicity" of cashu. It helps making for better custodians.
I respect that of course . I only try to understand why everyone crazy with cashu. lol
In Nostr, I think it's because it can be seamlessly included to your sub so that you get zap ability without setup as a user. See NIP-60 (https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/60.md)
Transmitting cashu tokens is as simple as transmitting some text. Redeeming requires communication with the mint.
Yeah i like these use cases
