cashu is not bitcoin.

giving up sovereignty for custodied privacy is not a tradeoff I will ever make. not to mention it completely screws over node runners by forcing everyone into custodial solutions to transact.

run nodes, they are the most private thing you can do.

You dont have to force everyone to be a purist. I run my own node, but sometimes tor is too slow or my node is down so i accept payemtns on minibits to later send home

it's all about options.

rafael_xmr 2mo ago

are you okay with signal having the monero option

nwc doesn't force anyone to be a purist. it works with both cashu and self custodied nodes

jb55 2mo ago

forcing people to use cashu is pushing a specific NWC connection type, it's the opposite of choice

Yeah, but the way in which you speak ("cashu is not bitcoin") ignores the fact that you are a power user and there are levels to this game. I spend time running my farm so i dont have time to make sure i have 100% uptime on my node.

this is what the market is for, to build better solutions. NWC opens that up to tons of future improvements.

Are you implying they could have implemented the same ux without cashu and done native lighting?

jb55 2mo ago

of course, also native lightning is still improving: async payments, etc
