I’ve been a cashu maxi (#cashu is #eCash for #bitcoin) since I first heard about it. npub.cash is filling a necessary void on nostr and offering so much more in terms of privacy. If you are a new user of #nostr, npub.cash has a wallet waiting for you, tied to your npub that can send and receive cashu and Lightning immediately. This option eliminates a lot of friction for new users and also exposes them to the possibilities existent with eCash.

While this option is custodial, for new users, having the ability to receive funds almost immediately on the platform is worth the trade off in my opinion.

Precursor:

Set up is easy but login to the site should be done with an extension like alby (I use Nostore for safari). This will allow you to safely login to your wallet without sharing your secret key.

Set Up:

Navigate to https://npub.cash. Enable your extension (in safari click on the little puzzle piece in the search bar and select Nostore, I typically allow access for one day). Click the “try it” button and give permissions when prompted (it asks me twice to allow signing). After this you should see your wallet, along with your own personal npub.cash address: (mine is nostr:npub1l66wvfm7dxhd6wmvpukpjpyhvwtlxzu0qqajqxjfpr4rlfa8hl5qlkfr3q@npub.cash)

Take this address and copy it. Open Damus and navigate to your profile. Click edit in the upper right hand corner and scroll down to the box where you put in information for Bitcoin Lightning Tips. Paste the information you copied from npub.cash and save. Restart Damus. Any payments made to your profile or published content on nostr will be directed to this wallet in the form of eCash. You will receive DM notifications any time a payment is received. eCash can be swapped for lightning at any time and sent to any wallet of your choice.

npub.cash doesn’t come without risk so heed the warnings on their site and do your own research on what those risks are! If you’re new to nostr you’re probably up for a little risk tho, right? ;) Also if new, you’ll probably fall down a rabbit hole of learning. With respect to npub.cash:

eNuts is a cashu app (#cashu is #ecash for #bitcoin ) for iOS and android. I’m currently using it to transfer cashu tokens from my npub.cash wallet with zero fees. After that I’m using it as a daily lightning wallet to pay invoices, zap plebs, etc. The app also has nostr integration. Inputting your npub will import your follow list (?) from nostr, giving you the ability to send eCash payments direct to these users through DM with ZERO FEES. So far, I really like the app in terms of stability and ease of use. Again, using eNuts comes with risk, make sure you understand them and do your own research!

Toggle zaps.

If you’re missing the zap feature on Damus:

https://nostrscript.suhailsaqan.com

visit this site and click the “on” button, it will ask if you want to open Damus (click “yes”), it will take you to a page with the option to run script (click that). Restart Damus. 🤯 (to turn zaps off, navigate to the above website and repeat the steps (but select the “off” option)
