Yes, it’s ZEUS ecash Lightning address. You can use it alongside the embedded node in v0.11

I just got 0.11 how do I setup Zeus nuts?
Menu > Lightning address > Settings
Thanks. Are they received automatically like the zeuspay zaps?
Yep. And senders see the payments instantly settled as opposed to in transit with the old address type.
This is pretty cool!
Yep, it’s our daily driver now.
Pair that w the auto-sweep to self custody feature under Ecash settings and it’s the best of both worlds.
I saw that setting. If I get passed a certain threshold, everything is sent to the zeuspay ln channel? Or onchain?
*past
LN channel only.
You could move it on-chain if you use the new swaps feature, but have to do it manually.
I understand. So it makes sense to have an ln channel with zeuspay still. To transfer the sats from Zeus nuts. Got it
Yes, of course.
When you’re still on ecash only, the wallet will prompt you to upgrade as economic self-custody becomes viable.
And for the zeuspay lap channel, the one I purchased, what’s the minimum amount of sats I need to send to it, to be able to send from it? It was 100k inbound
You just need to reserve 1% of it for channel closes.
That reserve requirement should be disappearing sometime soon too.
So if I send 1K sats to it, I can send 990?
If you have a 100k sat capacity channel, you can’t send out of it until you have 1k sats on your side to cover force close disputes. The sat 1,001 is spendable.
Oh ok I get it. 1% of the liquidity
Yeah, it’s one of the most annoying parts of Lightning but it’s going away now that we have ephemeral anchors.
I don’t know what that is but good thing it removes this
I found this conversation fascinating (as a nerd) but I was also thinking, what is a non-techie/nerd who’s getting into bitcoin going to think of all this, just to send bitcoin faster non-custodied (even that I feel is a learning curve in itself). Still though incredible work, and thank you.
The Zeus nuts option seems pretty easy to do on its own
In the UI this looks like an LSP channel is required, no using your own full node? I can't even follow this path in app while connected to my node.
Ecash wallets are tied to the embedded LND wallet. Otherwise we would have to give you a second seed phrase to manage.
You don’t need an LSP channel to use ecash.
You can also still sweep Cashu tokens to your remote node.
I see the embedded LND needs a channel with inbound to get there too.
Are you saying I can do whatever to get that channel, such as using my node as my own LSP.
If you’re using the default Zaplocker Lightning address, you need either a channel with Olympus or a zero fee route channel to it (the latter is easier said than done).
But if you upgrade to ZEUS v0.11 and enable Ecash, you can set up a Cashu Lightning address. This doesn’t require a channel at all.
I think I got it working, thanks.
Will it be tight to Zeus mint or people will be able to add other mints as well ?
