How offline receiving (zaps on nostr) works with the Minibits Lightning address:

- The server provides a Lightning address

- When someone zaps you, the Lightning payment is converted to ecash

- The ecash is then sent to your wallet via encrypted note DMs waiting for you to come back online

- When you open your wallet, it connects to a set of nostr relays and receives the ecash into your wallet

So this could be a web wallet without the need to download an app?

You'd still have to download minibits to claim the funds from the lightning address

Minibits can only be a native app and not a webapp?

Yes. Try nutstash.app or cashu.me if you prefer PWAs.

Are there benefits with using the PWAs instead of the native apps for ecash?

I am interested in web-only flows for new people joining nostr and being able to send and receive zaps. Also, apps can be censored by app stores.

It *could* be web wallet communicating with nostr/lnurl servers, mints and relays.

Just keep in mind that to keep the wallet state safe and working, web is far from ideal.

For instance, Minibits uses 2 separate storage technologies (mmkv as fast read/write, sqlite as append only backup) to prevent / recover from storage failures. This is not possible on the web. Safe keys store is as well big challenge on the web.

Ok thanks for the input. I think for new people dipping their toes it could be useful
