🥜 #NutNovember
I’ll admit it. I’ve complained about Cashu without ever really using it. Testing and random transactions do not count. So this month, I’m going nuts:
âš¡ Using Cashu wallets for zaps and everyday Nostr transactions.
âš¡ Treating eCash not as a novelty, but as real Bitcoin on Lightning. Fight me on this!
If we’re serious about freedom tech, we’ve got to use it and not just talk about it.
So for the entire month of November, I’ll be using #Cashu instead of my usual Lightning wallets and I’m inviting you to join me. Let’s see what it’s really like to live on eCash for a month. 🥜💸
Here’s how you can join in:
👉 Option 1: Use cashu.me as your eCash wallet.
It uses npub.cash automatically as your Lightning address.
For zapping, connect your NWC wallets.
Be sure to log in with your browser extension so you use your real npub (otherwise it’ll generate a random one).
👉 Option 2: Try the nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv app
Use it for both sending zaps with NWC
And your own minibits.cash Lightning address

FWIW, I've been using the nPub.cash/cashu.me combo for quite a while, and they're awesome!
But, I recently started test-driving minibits - newly available on iOS app store - and it's even smoother.
My 2 sats: especially if you're considering using the minibits mint, you may as well also just use the minibits app - the fewer potential sources of failure, the better.
