This wallet is going the next step. Based on the Rust Cash Dev Kit, CDK. Connects to mints without DNS via nostr using Nostr Web Services, NWS. Comes with a mint with an integrated LDK Lightning node.
Very impressive work 🫡
Cashu 🤝 Nostr
Onboard friends and family to your mint in less than 60 seconds through the power of Nostr. It's the easiest way to use Bitcoin. https://sovereign.app https://video.nostr.build/17841c8cc3597467e869ba40aa48eeb73607e606e5dfc14455296e8f875357aa.mp4

Very grateful to nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg nostr:npub1qjgcmlpkeyl8mdkvp4s0xls4ytcux6my606tgfx9xttut907h0zs76lgjw and nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft for all the work they've done to get us here! Excited to build more! 🚀
So I'm new to nostr, and using amethyst. Should I just copy my nsec from amethyst and give it to sovereign.app? It seems like I'm totally trusting sovereign.app to not steal my identity and reputation
The benefit of using your existing nsec is the app can import your contact list and, if you run a mint, allow your followers to join it.
If you'd like to test out the app, you can create another nsec first, then decide to transfer over your sats later if you want to move to your existing identity.
The cashu proofs are encrypted with your nsec. The app further protects your privacy and security by deriving a dedicated wallet nsec from your personal nsec so it’s deterministically generated for ease of backup but not associated with your identity npub. Additionally, you can use a password in the derivation scheme to add another layer of security or plausible deniability.
Is there an easy infographic or something that I could send to people that explains how this stuff works?
If I tell someone in my family to connect their nsec to my mint and that the cashu proofs will be encrypted, their eyes are going to glaze over.
If you have a Mint running right now, the most straightforward thing you can do is send them the Mint URL. They will be able to join using that. The app should be pretty intuitive from there, but I'm open to feedback.
