That's kind of fascinating... But it also means that I really need to figure out sending sats to an on chain address since I don't need this many for zapping. 😅
Just bear in mind that the sats are lost if your mobile is lost, you may recover your LN Address which is cool using your 12 backed up words, but the sats are not so straight forward yet.
Always run recovery drills with any new wallet you test, I have done extensive test with Minibits, they keep working on it, last update broke the QR codes BTW... nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59u4kl3vp

Good call
Cashu mints are connected to Lightning so you can withdraw to any Lightning wallet but not directly onchain.
Yup. I get that... But I don't know how to move from lightning to on chain. That's my own problem, though.
I'm still confused as to why zapping isn't working.
you can use nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 if you wanna do it manually, or if you want abstract a bit of it away, you can use nostr:npub1ajlrwgfj4yerhqf7ady03h7wmtk2qr3gs7h3sxcx83k05yld36sswpzx3q
I'll check those out.
aqua can accept lightning payment which it auto-converts to liquid.
from their you can swap liquid to btc.
also, it's been about a year or so but I have in the past gone from ecash straight to liquid in aqua. was a bit wonky then but worked and is likely better now
I don't know anything about liquid.
it's a sidechain that acts very much like bitcoin (UTXO's, etc) where you can peg-in / peg-out bitcoin.
1 min block times.
it's federated custody so not trustless, but it does work.
anyways, once you have sats in there, in aqua you can do a swap to peg-out your liquid sats and "turn em back into bitcoin", which is then in your custody.
the same seedphrase in aqua is used for both liquid and bitcoin.
