Yeah it’s a nice little app.

The relationship between private key, lightning node and your eCash mints at the app level is still a little unclear. More specifically, if I create a minibits user name, this appears to be a lighting address….

Ok, so then I add 5 mints and 100 sats to each. And then next month minibits goes up in flames. My next move is to find another eCash app and then it’s my lightning key that is interoperable with those 5 mints??

I think that’s how it works, but with so few options I have not been able to attempt a cross app migration at an account level. Bailing out of eNuts involved physically sending the funds.

How long have you been using Minibits?

Couple weeks ago when zaps came back to Damus I was like “wait can I zap with Cashu?” Again, at the time I was mistaken in my belief that it would be non custodial zaps. I was hoping to not be dependent on something like a Primal hosted wallet (or strike or cash app)

It was then I discovered the eNuts app that had been lying around for months was defunct. Apparently the only path to full sovereignty with privacy controls is running a lightning node and I have never heard anyone say anything positive about that experience. 😅

Source code is available if somebody wanted to pick it up and run with it. It’s a great app, so something else must have led to it being shelved so quickly. Probably just best to leave it at that 🤷‍♂️

Yeah exactly, just wish something else was around like it.
