Lemme see if I’ve got this. When y’all say Cashu, you’re talking about cashu.me … where instead of doing p2p lightning transactions, I send you actual sats tokens which are “minted” in your device and can then be transferred to any lightning wallet. Is that right?
What’s the connect between cashu.me and npub.cash?? Is there any?

Let me answer..! npub.cash is a service that provides lightning address without signups. npub.cash does not run a mint or relay or lighnting node. it simply mints a token and locks it to your nostr pubkey. You can claim your sats anytime to your cashu wallet or lightning wallet. Think of this as proxy to your lightning wallet/node.
agree. DM/notification is coming soon...! Nothing is easy at first..! Glad you were able to claim 21 sats..!
I actually dismissed it first...not realizing why it is needed. #SovEng opened my eyes. Now I want to use this everywhere..!
Nice. add it your Nostr profile as lightning address. Once a week you can go to npub.cash to sweep your sats to your cashu or lightning wallet.
I look at this slightly in a different angle. Tech behemoths are subsidizing the access to AI for now.. I have free credits to make 100,000 hours of text to audio..!
to try out npub.cash simply change your profile lightning address to
In case anyone is still confused about nuts or what it means and why we always talk about it (me today haha), here is my know-nothing dummy explanation and why this is a big deal IMO:
Cashu is an ecash protocol(is this correct?) created by nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg
People are calling them nuts because cashews are nuts... get it?
The terminology is irrelevant. They can be called tokens, air, water, chicken teriyaki.. it really doesn't matter! What matter is that this is a Layer 3 payment system that transfers tokens at the speed of light (or so I think). Lightning being layer 2, and bitcoin being layer 1.
The reason why this is a significant development is because now everyone has a cashu address. Thanks to amazing work by the legendary nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226 , if you go to npub.cash you can see that you already have an address to receive these layer 3 tokens, which just happen to be easily redeemable into lightning. This means that any new person who joins nostr automatically has (custodial) layer 3 payment access, which can swap into layer 2 and into layer 1 and into fiat if need be.
I don't know any of the underlying mechanics of this, I am not a genius like nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and what I have described could be incorrect, but it sure feels like this is roughly how things work.
Nuts are custodial, meaning a mint is holding your balance and can look up your npub to see if you have some. Once called upon, these nuts can be sent to another nutter (cashu wallet) or directly to a lightning address! This interoperability makes everyone a layer 2 user. All we need is a clever UX toggle / button / terminology to make it really obvious.
IF this were to be turned into a library that devs could include in their client code and "it just works", THEN it could be a game changer! No more directing people on how to get a wallet right as they join. They can experience the magic of bitcoin indirectly via layer 3 > layer 2 transfer all without knowing anything (as long as they can get on nostr).
In practice, this means anyone joining an audio nest, a zapstream, a flare.pub can automatically get paid. Yes, it's just tokens, and yes it's centralized and custodial, BUT, they see the value instantly and are only a click away from digging deeper. It's a STEPPING STONE that makes it significantly easier to get onboarded into the new paradigm.
I have not been this excited since the discovery of nostr itself! If I'm mistaken somehow, or don't understand things correctly, please let me know and forgive my dumbass 🤣 And if this means what I think it means, then let's make magic happen!
yes. you captured it well.. "I have not been this excited since the discovery of nostr itself!" Same with me.. I am not getting sleep...! Also, for testing purposes I started running a mint..
Yessir - worked with nostr:npub1mz3vx0ew9le6n48l9f2e8u745k0fzel6thksv0gwfxy3wanprcxq79mymx to bring it to life
this one is better.. https://cdn.r1f.ai/tlt0zu0bjxf7.html
I have used the Text2Speech bot to turn your article into audio. The volume seems to drop at 1:30 though ...

thanks for testing it. right. the volume drops. will test more and see why.
This is a nice graphic to remind everyone that we are on the next cycle of user interface.
Humans that use AI will replace humans..!
If you have a microapp relying on window.nostr, just drop a at the bottom of your HTML and it will start working with NIP-46 and nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgcwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxxatjwfjkuapwveukjtcqyrafsj7hmweg9ur7zmn6apajdg48hxuskujx53rhrux0ttjcqx84yx35fg2 's OAuth-like flow.
hmm.. it is that easy..? I need to dive into NIP-46 now...
absolutely there is demand for real-open AI.. Pls don't add fiat option... Keep it private... That is what we are doing at PlebAI..
nostr:npub1mz3vx0ew9le6n48l9f2e8u745k0fzel6thksv0gwfxy3wanprcxq79mymx voice quality is awesome. Will test this on some more posts.
nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr I had selected "English" in the dropdown (Default was German from my Browser settings) but the DVM Reuqest showed "Deutsch (German)":
The voice output was still in perfect english. Not sure if it is an actual issue - just confusing.
Also: It might be good to still show the full posts if the user wants to read while listening or look at images. Currently you only see the audio player.
Thanks for testing. I am using Elevenlabs text2speech API which is best among all. I got a lot of free credits.. so hit it hard and let me know for issues. On Text2Speech there is a To-Do on my end to translate before speech if say text is in english and you want German voice. Will push that by tomorrow.
yes. I know that feeling...!
Yes. Hard to believe.. But it works.. Let me know for other DVMs you see fit.. We will keep building..!
Both Translator and Text2Speech AI agents are working on DVM and directly available inside noStrudel App..
Just click and choose "Translate" or "Text to speech". Both are free to use for now.. Not for long...
