✨ Announcing the release of Cashu.me – a Cashu wallet for the web! ✨
Cashu.me is a Chaumian Ecash wallet for Bitcoin built as a progressive web app (PWA). Today, we're excited to announce its first release and would like to thank all developers and users who have helped to build and improve this wallet. Cashu.me is free and open-source software released under the MIT license.
To get started, open Cashu.me in your browser and install it to add it to your home screen. We recommend to use your device's native browser for the best experience. Beware that Ecash is a bearer asset which means that if you delete your browser data or lose access to your device without a proper backup (see below), you will lose your funds. Use this wallet only for small spending amounts.
New Features
Countless new features for this release give you the best possible Ecash experience. We're bringing this ancient crypto technology back into the 21st century and present you a modern interpretation of the original cypherpunk vision - built on Bitcoin.

You can host the wallet on your own server. Find the images on Dockerhub or build it yourself with the GitHub repository
For those that had a balance in the old version of Cashu.me as a PWA in Safari on iOS-
If you restore your old wallet from the .json.txt export you might find the balance doesn’t show and you get “key”errors when selecting your mints. I found that deleting the mints and then re-adding them via the links from bitcoinmints.com resolved the issue. Balance restored and working normally😎
Your PWA works well but you’d get more exposure for sure with an App Store app too. Mutiny Wallet have done both, I like knowing that if Apple ever pull their app I can use the PWA. I appreciate that it would eat up more of your time though.
Great video, love the animation👌🏻 Hope you have more of them planned, could make a great series.
One of the benefits of using the PWA version of Mutiny on iOS. I downloaded the iOS app but tbh I’ve just carried on using the PWA instead.
A good overview of Nostr for those interested by #[0]
Sparrow Wallet is excellent. For those interested #[1] has just done an interview with #[3] too-
Time to withdraw your sats from Blue Wallet’s lightning node as they’re shutting it down.
A great reason to learn about running your own lightning node⚡️
