💥 BitcoinMints.com 💥

We just launched the first place to list and review Cashu mints leveraging #nostr as the discoverability and identity layer.

https://BitcoinMints.com

Cashu is an ecash protocol that will enable https://makeprisms.com users to send millions of #bitcoin payments with one click.

BitcoinMints.com is a Nostr client that uses NIP-87 to publish and review mints.

$boost

Day 1: 8 mints and 18 reviews on https://BitcoinMints.com

Day 100 Projection: There will be 100s of mints and thousands of reviews

Filters and fedimints up next. What else do you want to see?

Can help with some clarity?

In any ecash mint, the ecash can only be used in the specific mint right? The ecash cannot interchange with ecash from another mint. Is that correct?

The ecash is issued/redeemed for btc from a specific mint but could be sent around between different users/clients many times. at any point a holder of the ecash could swap to another mint via lightning or redeem it to a lightning wallet. this is why its important to have a transparent marketplace to know whether the ecash you're holding is actually worth anything and if you should continue to hold the ecash or swap it.

Hey Bob, I'm viewing the website and I don't find our mint or others' reviews on The Super Mint. I did not delete these. Did you delete them for a certain reason?

Hey! No we didn’t. Not sure why they aren’t there. We’ll take a look. Sorry about that!

All good! I found it very odd why not there. Maybe because I'm updating my server and it can't find the mint?

Would love to help keep improving this. DM'd you to discuss further.

Is there anyway you can show the mint type?

Eg are they using nutshell or something else to run their mint like how I can see if a relay is strfry or something else

Good idea! We’ll see if we can add this.

Oh, I just thought of something. nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg always said you should be able to kick the mint runner in the nuts, so optional geographic data would be pertinent as more come online. I know this community is averse to sharing location, but when I get mine up and running I think sharing the country and state would be enough until more mints end up running in my state and then I'd add county or closest metro.
