Last talk of the day on Main Stage at nostr:npub1dwah6u025f2yy9dgwlsndntlfy85vf0t2eze5rdg2mxg99k4mucqxz7c52 Lightning++ Edition: nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg of Cashu with "Cashu: Money at Lightning Speed".
Discussion
Cashu implementations like CDK and Coco allow developers to create cashu-powered app easily.
E-cash:
- Privacy preserving
- Bearer token
- "Push" UX
- Programmable
The goal is to improve Bitcoin UX.
Lightning is the connecting tissue, the common API for Bitcoin sub-systems to talk to each other.
Lightning is used to pay to the world out of the mint or to swap funds between different mints.
Multinut: Solves UX problem and reduces the risk for the user.
A big payment can be performed by sending partial payments to each mint involved with the user receiving an atomic payment.
The other way round is also feasible, but not yet implemented.
A project called LNProxy is working on making reverse multinut come true.
Gateways: Enable building a mint without having lightning.
Outgoing payment: Done.
Incoming payment: Not yet implemented, still under active research.
