Calle posted a note about npub.cash by Egge over a week ago and it's gained traction as a custodial nuts wallet that is tied to your npub (e.g. yournpub@npub.cash). Being custodial it allows for receiving zaps whil you are offline and you can redeem the nuts with your cashu wallet or to your preferred lightning wallet. For 5000 sats, you can claim a username (e.g. username@npub.cash)
