Peg-ins have not been working since I upgraded the mint to the latest lnbits-cashu extension 0.5. I've set to peg-out only until this is fixed.

Which is more important to you in a cashu mint?
Low fees, or reliability?

No its the fees implementation. Seems to require a reserve. Im still experimenting

I'm noticing exorbitant fees being charged on some cashu to lightning payments. Contact me with a lightning payment proof and I will reimburse you with cashu.

Cashu mint update!
I learned this new LSP conveys network fees before it generates an invoice. I dropped outgoing mint fees to 0.5% + LSP/LN fees. This may be the lowest cost public mint there is!

Lightning payments and withdrawls are temporarily unavailable. Cashu tokens are still transferable within the mint. Service is expected to return in the next 48 hours. #cashu

The lightning bond scheme based on the htlc smart contract is very effective to preserve trust in the network. Is there a mechanism by which a digital contract could be used to back cashu tokens with a posted "honesty bond" by the mint? Then any token holder can provide their token as "proof of promise to pay" and if the mint fails proof of reserves, the bond can be used to pay the token onchain or over lightning? Maybe even the bond could be in the form of ecash stored at a "more trusted" mint?

People can't see themselves while they're hopped up on hopium and are spraying shitcoin propaganda everywhere. They all think their utility token is going to be the next great technology innovation and every bank is going to switch to it and its going to turn their $1000 into a billion.
We've all been there. If it wasnt a shitcoin it was a penny stock, or some rando telemarketer selling oil futures, or buying 100 lottery tickets, or stacking silver bars because "the price is supressed", or reading about x-ray glasses in the back of archie comics. The fact is there is no talking people out of their scams, just like you cant talk your buddy out of marrying a shreiking banshee he met at a strip club.
Some people learn by observing, some learn by hearing, some learn by reading, some learn by thinking, and everyone else learns from pain.
Most just have to get burned, all you can do is warn them.

I do not know of wallet of satoshi supports Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) but others do. Alby, strike, mutiny and breez are a few. You can recieve zaps into your Wallet Of Satoshi (WOS) by placing the lnaddress assigned to you when you installed the app ([email protected]) into your nostr profile, but zapping without NWC means you need to copy the lightning invoice from amethyst into WOS. NWC connects amethyst directly to a lightning wallet and allows zapping to be a single-click operation. If you have trouble zapping, it could be due to two problems: Either the person youre attempting to zap doesen't have their lnaddress configured properly in their nostr profile or your WOS isn't completing the lightning payment into the recipient's wallet. This could be due to legal restrictions, or it may be a simple case of insufficient liquidity on the lightning network between the WOS servers and the recipient's wallet (this problem may be temporary).

You could use 0xChat instead of zapping. Which wallet are you trying to connect to nostr?

So its the christians that turn you off? I have to agree with you. What if I told you they have no idea what Jesus actually said, and hypocrite would be raising them up in stature from where they are?

I was able to send it to myself. I also zapped you 33 sats. Do you see it in your wallet? You have to add the minibits mint. "Add mint" and "add minibits mint". No idea if your sats will just show up in there or if you had to have it added first.

To all users of STPI cashu mint, I have added a new backend to the server. You should be able to freely mint new tokens and redeem mint tokens for lightning sats. #cashu #enuts #minibits

ROFL! Lets just take the mint's word for it whether they have reserves by checking the mint's published list of token hashes. What the?

This whole process of shutting down the node will take several days, possibly weeks. I have several channels with partners that are offline sometimes for weeks. The cashu mint will remain open. If you can't route a payment, simply send the #ecash tokens you have to me via IM and I will reimburse you.

2024-01-18 17:54:48 GMT

Notice to any users of the STPI cashu mint: I'm shutting it down for now.
There are too many remote-close and force-close on my lightning node, there is also erratic behavior like strange cashu/ln transactions and pending payments that I can't explain. Lightning is too unpredictable and impossible to debug, its not ready for prime-time in my opinion. I've been running this node for two years and the technology is not improving. This high fee environment is making it too costly to run a routing node, and the ln-tx fees don't even put a dent in the channel open and close fees.
Please remove your sats from the mint.
I will try to keep it open long enough for people to remove their sats (there isn't much).

If someone lost 2k sats trying to pay ivpn with cashu, this is still hung up in transit. Be sure to save the payment hash and contact me
