I was down with this, until I realized that I can limit how much I put into the wallet, but other people could also put money into it.
Like, if you use it to get your salary, on the first of the month, and then you pay your bills and move the rest to Lightning, that still leaves the between-time with a bunch of money in there.
I haven't given up on cashu, but I'm taking the problems more seriously now.
Including the very human problem that I'm starting to have too many different wallets and types of wallets.
I'm facing down the near-term, where I need to manage 7 wallets. Cold wallets, hot wallets, LN, ecash...
ah yes this is a good point. also I appreciate your input on nostr in general; always interesting - your project Alexandria too.
I've probably sat here for 10 minutes thinking about the problem you've posed. I should mention I'm not a dev or super smart. but to start i guess your employer is already aware of your salary, and if you're able to take payment in ecash then I suppose you can take it via lightning as well.
why not take it in lightning (ideally self custodial) and move some to an ecash wallet when you're ready to spend it for bills? im not sure how lightning payment hops can be tracked or to what extent it can expose your node to others; but asise from that caveat i think the privacy gain would still be solid. this doesn't change the tradeoffs of cashu ofc and I could definitely be missing something fo sho. cheers
I'm thinking more, take it to LN and also pay the bills from there, and use ecash for your literal cash stuff. Like, buying a coffee or gasoline.
