Cashu doesn't run on a single server. There is not one big mint that everyone uses. That would be insane.

There are dozens of mints running on dozens of servers already. The point is that *you* can run it too. Either for your Bitcoin infrastructure or for your community.

La calle está llena de cashus

What do I need to run a mint? Both hardware and software ..

Both

We build a little computer called a Sovran Pro and it includes all the hardware and software you need to get started.

I run LNbits + Cashu extension on a VPS connected to a Lightning Node

And for those that don't know how, here I wrote a guide:

Thank you.

This is pretty cool 👌

Great guide! 🫶

Are node package providers looking to add Cashu to their app stores?? Eg Umbrel, MyNode?

You can run a Cashu mint using LNBits on Umbrel

👀

how do you connect to it if you're on tor?

You can get the Tor address of your mint from LNbits. Some wallets like Minibits allow for Tor connection.

Awesome, thanks a ton!

What about this wording:

Fedimint = Federated or Multi-Sig eCash

Cashu = Multi-Mint eCash

?

Fedimint is also meant to be multi-mint. They just opted to have multisig from the start. Cashu might have multi-sig later, too. There is no clear cut differentiation.

Only interact with mints you trust. Make these mints viable
