Nostr Web Client

I tested 5 cashu wallets. I have lost funds in all of them. Mints have disappeared on me. NIP-60 events have disappeared as well.

It's nothing against cashu, but the operators themselves that need to ship better software and to secure people's sats. We know it is custodial. But that doesn't mean people can just run off with our sats just because they are bored. That's not cool.

My point is that NO one should EVER lose ANY money from a custodial system. Not a single sat. Regardless of how new things are.

It's still pretty early beta and a bit buggy. I have 38k sats that got stuck using cashu.me with minibits mint. "Proofs Pending Error" I was going to reach out to minibits but figured I'd consider it a donation to their project instead. I've been testing the nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5 wallet and only have had one transaction go missing (using their lightning address feature). The devs are still trying to troubleshoot it. I find the minibits team very responsive. I know it's still early beta so I try testing as many noob scenarios as I can think of. Hopefully I find a big and can replicate it for the team to troubleshoot. I agree sats shouldn't be lost but I don't recommend these projects to newly orange pilled users.

I haven't had custodians rug me but bugs causing loses I have seen. But again this is for testing not ready for primetime in my opinion.

Well looks like the pending proof cleared. nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk mentioned it might clear a couple weeks ago and so it did. I was able to zero out the wallet. So the only sats lost were 100 I tested on minibits ln address. Guess I'll go donate to both projects the other 38k I recovered.

Funny, I wouldn't have checked that "stuck" cashu wallet if it wasn't for this post from Vitor 🤣🤣🤣. And I paid out the recovered funds using both lightning and ecash. But I still stand by my comments that this is still to early for normie users.

I know it's too early for me. I depend on a 3rd party.
