Dumb question: do I need to do something to ensure I can redeem cashu on Nostr? I'm on Android; I guess I need to install some app?

Then, if I'm the first to click 'redeem', Nostr would redirect to this app on my phone, and I could then withdraw via Lightning?

I have searched for 'cashu' in the Play Store, but I'm not convinced that any are genuine

cashu.me and minibits are my favorite wallets. i think amethyst is working on a built in wallet, maybe?

cashu.me is a pwa, no install necessary, set up a lightning address in the settings to receive zaps there

minibits is a thick client

there are also nwc options, but i know nothing about how that works

I'm playing around with boardwalk.cash now. After sending a few sats to it via Lightning, I now have a long string ('creqApWF...'). For now, I don't know what to do 🙂. I kinda just want to give it away for free on my free 🙂

So now I'm wondering how to expose it. Do I just paste this string as-is as a Nostr message?

Thanks for your tips!

I got it working now, thanks! I got a token starting with 'cashu...' and shared it on Nostr

And I just also played with cashu.me. Also very easy to use. Thanks @vnprc !

Is it easy to check if a token has been redeemed, without actually redeeming it?

yeah in history there is a little refresh button next to sent tokens that checks their status

By 'history', do you mean this in cashu.me? Where 'pending' means that no-one (me, or anyone else) has redeemed it yet?

yep! you got it!

that doesn't look like a cashu token, those start with cashuA or cashuB. you can send it to yourself as a test. you can also just yolo it out to nostr and let the mob have it

first, tho, you need to find out what that string is
