Serious question, i would really appreciate your answer on what i get wrong here.

what i dont understand so far:

i go to the mints website, get a token. the mint can log my ip and which token string i get

then i pay with the token, the receiver goes to the mint, enters it into a textarea to redeem it for lightning. The mint can also log the receivers ip and the token string.

so it knows who transacted with whom. What do i get wrong here?

you're missing the blind signature part: the token you get and the one you give back don't look the same, so the mint can't tell

thank you. when is the token changing, does the receiver need a special wallet to create the new token?

sorry, still having some issues with understanding it.

isn't the wallet also the cashu.me website? or is it a separate application i need to install separate from visiting cashu.me?

I tried to make an audio explainer for the blinded signatures. It's rough but an attempt was made.

Cashu.me is a progressive web app. You should open the wallet there and then install it: Android Chrome -> Install App or in iOS Safari -> Share > Add to Home Screen

Then you have it on your home screen. Does that work?

thank you for your answer. Sure that works, but what i mean is that the website and web app is issued by the same entity running the mint.

So it could log whatever is pasted into the text area as a ecash token and therefore should be able to log the sender and the receiver of the token on a application level, even before it is sent back to the mint to redeem it or not?

No, the wallet isn't affiliated with any mint whatsoever. It comes with no mints.

ok, thank you very much!
