I am so confused with “cashu on lightning” is it like a token on top or inside the lightning network?
Discussion
You can send ecash to a lightning wallet
You can receive ecash from sats on lightning
⚡️
It’s interoperable
Kinda like with the aqua wallet you can swap back and forth between liquid and lightning
With a e cash wallet you can swap back and forth between ecash and lightning
It’s all sats
Think of it like a lightning gift card that you can redeem anytime you want to
Or spend sats privately with anyone knowing or having a record of the tx
Or a history that could lead to your up address
It’s basically bitcoin but instant free and private payments….
Better than custodial lightning where they know who you are…
Ok so I send lightning, mint cashu, and when I burn cashu, I get lightning sats. Correct? Can I send cashu to a lightning address (I guess not, only cashu to cashu) or kind of can I send cashu to mint/burn to lightning and can a lightning user send lightning to mint to my cashu?
You can sent cashu to lightning …easy
And lightning to cashu
It’s all sats
It’s interoperable
Lightning sats to ecash sats
And ecash sats to lightning sats
It’s not just ecash to ecash
You can send from ecash wallet to a lightning wallet
And from a lightning wallet to an ecash wallet no problem
