You can send onchain to Zeus and swap to LN

From LN you can pay any mint

Cashu mints live on lightning nodes and mints spend to eachother over lightning

Thanks, I wanted easier

LN is the current cashu infrastructure. I have heard here or there of base nuts but I don't think there are any ways to do it currently.

It's basically ready to go, just in dependency hell because the tor library we use links to a different version of sqlite than the cashu library.

However, it doesn't support onchain for cashu, the protocol doesn't have it

That is a pretty good feature.

Once you have an onchain address, you can send as much as you want unlike with LN.

The mints would have no control over how much money they are comfortable with handling. Since still a lot of things are experimental in this space and mints have non-negligible risks, this would possibly create an unwanted situation for them.

Refunding is an option but in practice it might be complicated.

Good point

But LN adds friction when all you want is ecash
