I paid 41 sats and did a search, then I paid another 41 sats however it would not let me to search again. I won't sent bailiffs, but that thing should be improved.
Presenting Athenut โย privacy-preserving web search powered by Kagi and Cashu
Always wanted to use Kagi but thought it's a joke that a privacy search engine requires you to create an account and pay with a credit card? Athenut wraps around the Kagi API and lets you pay for searches with Bitcoin. Every individual search is paid for with ecash which means that you have no account and your payments can't be correlated to your searches.
In the background, Athenut has an entire Cashu wallet built in that is almost completely hidden from the user. All the user does is to pay a Lightning invoice and see how many searches they have left. It's made for grug brains who want to be free. You pay, you search, that's it.
This is simply amazing, I've been dreaming about this for so long. It's only the beginning. We're going to make Error 402 great again!

Oh, one more thing. My first search was erased anuway so I could not use it anyway. ๐คฃ
What kind of errors did you see? Any messages or did it just not load when you tried to search?
None. It simply wanted another (third) top up. Both payments went through.
Maybe some sort of account would do? Like in RoboSats, I don't know, because this thing doesn't look like it's gonna take any traction otherwise.
We just added back up and recovery! Theyโre live on the site. Next weโre going to introduce a way for you see your search purchase and check the payment status for each one.
