#ecash demo fell flat on my face this morning🤦♂️
We're a looong way away from becoming mainstream for new folks
Discussion
Which app(s)? What happened?
TLDR;
cashu.me -> cashu.me; minibits as mint
- for someone who never been to the website, it kept starting the page as if one never visited before, always prompting a new seed phrase every time they visited. Burned a few sats unfortunately.
Only way around it was to setup the wallet with a mint, then receive sats to the mint. Which defeats the whole purpose of just scanning a QR code or tapping the NFC card in the first place
Excellent; thank uou
Commented on github💪
I've noticed that lately, even for me, in the browser I use which I have not cleared the cache on, using normal browser window (not incognito)
It starts off the page for me as if I've never used it before. Need to restore my wallet every time I go there now
- on desktop
On mobile it works fine for some reason
Which OS, which browser?
MacOS, Brave browser
Mobile is fine
- GrapheneOS, Vanadium
No incognito mode for both
- desktop issues
- mobile, no issues
I still cant get it to work on Mobile. Do you mind sharing the settings?
Sure
Make sure you're in normal browsing mode (not private/incognito)
Don't clear your cache (this is where the tokens are stored)
1) Wallet.cashu.me
- install as PWA (optional)
2) go through startup page prompts
3) backup seed phrase
4) add mint
- minibits is my preferred
5) generate LN invoice to receive funds
- 1 sat is fine to test
6) pay invoice
7) confirmed funds are received
As long as you are not in private browsing mode, and have not cleared your cache, all wallet info should remain intact. Close window/PWA, & reopen to confirm its still there
> MacOS, Brave browser
Which exact numeric versions?
Up to most recent version
1.74.50 Chromium

Can they be reported or blocked somehow?
I have it working for Firefox on Linux.
Burned sats? You should be able to restore with seed phrase
I could've but it was only 10 sats & the page refreshed on me before I could copy the seed phrase
& like elsat said it wasn't so much burning the sats (that was my choice to move faster), it was onboarding someone new with their iPhone.
Following this.
were you using NFC card with the invitation token inside?
Its this URL string (Be great to make a URI like "cashu:[token]")👇
