What's cashu and enuts? Does it have anything to do with LN?
I have a LN node, is there stuff I can do with cashu/enuts on there?
In terms of metaphors for #cashu nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj , this is what I’m thinking (out loud) for newbs.
In terms of privacy it’s like when you go to the atm to withdraw cash, the bank can see how much cash you withdrew (in this case lighting) but not where you are spending the cash (your cashu mint tokens). Should you need to put cash (mint tokens) back into your account, you can deposit cash back to your account via the atm (withdraw tokens to lightning and send out to lightning wallet).
So cashu has great privacy benefits even over and above lightning and is ideal for a community P2P system. I love it

Questions nostr:npub1dx5q2el8nd4eh3eg9t2e25fd7zuqg7zxz6ldkc3uzgh66ss2yc6st288sj - does someone via the nostr contact list need to have a cashu mint/wallet to accept eCash?
Yes
Some Nostr client allow to redeem Ecash and send it to your Lightning wallet. A cashu wallet is needed if you want to send ecash yourself or redeem it without cashing out immediatly to LN. By redeeming the first token on eNuts (without having a mint) it will ask to add the mint of the token that is incoming. If you agree, you redeem it and have the mint associated to it in your list (from which you can cash out back to LN anytime)
Pretty sweet. I'll have to check this out.
Still trying to figure out automatical rebalancing and stuff on my Raspiblitz. I'm not a tech guy, but I've seen LN bits on there.
