life is about tradeoffs, so there is no 'better option' for all here.
You can use cashu to build your own federated mint, or use the fedi app and ecosystem. Up to you. The ecash and sats within both systems are the same.
If I was onboarding a new user who is not a proficient nerd I would get them to use fedi right now (better UX, support, and a 'safer' model against rug pulls)
just the opinion of this cat
'failed to fetch' and 'mint activation error' thrown by cashu.me
does my connection need to be onionized for me to interact with this mint?
worth sharing right now is the ecash meme profile that just started, all zaps from memes go to opencash.dev
we need more memes
using this account to pretty much exclusively boost notes about ecash (not just cashu)
so in case you are looking note discovery related to ecash give this profile a scroll

"In the first place, bringing David Chaum's centralized but privacy-conscious ecash model into the decentralized Bitcoin is so genius it blows my mind."

the great enshittification continues
lately being how recent?
is there any coincidence with changes in diet, exercise, stress, or other factors in your life?
mindfulness and meditation have done wonders for thia kitty
If you start seeing these voices, or they tell you commands or raise paranoid ideas it might be worth checking with a shrink
I enjoyed this recent interview with Fran

I was not aware of this #security hole in Signal Desktop. The database encryption key was stored in plaintext for years. It's partially fixed now. Links below.
I looked at their repo and it hasn't been fully patched yet. For now they're supporting a fallback option, which means the key may still be stored in plaintext. You can check by looking at the config file where the key is stored.
"In addition to migrating to encrypted/keystore-backed local database encryption keys on supported platforms, our implementation also includes some additional troubleshooting steps and a temporary fallback option that will allow users to recover their message database using their legacy database encryption key if something goes wrong. This should help minimize data loss if any edge cases or other keystore-related bugs are discovered during the migration process and production rollout. The temporary fallback and legacy key will both be removed after everything has been tested and deployed on a wide variety of devices across various operating systems and OS versions."

it was disclosed 3 months ago
MOB was a mess, last I checked it used a thing called mixin network, which is not functional, so you can't even swap the shitcoin anymore. Only on/off ramp is with KYC + cards
... at least Moxie got rich, I don't hate
here is more info on the monero+molly work:

yeah dont have one
trying out npub.cash so you can send sats via LN to this address tied to my npub
nostr:nprofile1qqsdpyh6fsa928qpprhu7xzv9pclzdp4xyhvw4erhm23ke0jqqgcwlcgutspy@npub.cash
... or you can mint some ecash sats and DM me the note
lesson I learned recently is to activate an account with the official Signal app, register the username with that, then transfer the account to Molly (running on same device) so that people can find you via signal username.
Also of note is that valdrac and molly devs are trying to integrate in-app monero payments into it, funded by a community crowdfund.
makes me ponder.... when will someone fork and add in ecash?
