why i can't get the point behind cashu? isn't lightning enough?

Each has its trade-off. Also, having multiple options for layer 2 is necessary as to not have a single point of failure for scaling.

both suck
Probably because it's so early. Working on better onboarding resources for those that want to use ecash via cashu.
isn't it easier to onboard a people to on lightning?
I think so. Try cashu.me and let me know what you think. I’ll send you some ecash once you’re up and running.
i installed it. i need a mint i think(?).
Yep! You can just start off with nostr:npub1kvaln6tm0re4d99q9e4ma788wpvnw0jzkz595cljtfgwhldd75xsj9tkzv and add more later as you want.
created a wallet and added 2 sats to it. 👀🤨
what's next? it's still normal for me. nothing more or better than lightning...
Here are reviews: https://bitcoinmints.com/?tab=mints
Cashu, fedimint, etc isn't mean to replace non-custodial BTC or lightning, it's meant to replace custodial BTC. To the extent custodial BTC is needed, these solutions are better in almost every way than traditional "all trust to a single party, no transparency" models.
i need to study them more...
