0 sats \ 1 reply \ @phaedrus OP 2h \ on: Cashu vs custodial Lightning bitcoin
From my friend Damian:
With Cashu you can select which mint you use/trust. As @SwapMarket pointed out, you can't pick mint when you receiving ecash token but you can move it to another mint. Single Cashu wallet can use many mints. Lightning wallets are typically limited to single server provider.
Also, ecash can have spending conditions.

but you can move it to another mint
When (not if) I move it, I do the LN payment (and wait/pay the fees). So cashu payment is just a lightning payment with extra steps.
Cashu wallet can use many mints.
But they will all milk your incoming payments, same as a custodial lightning provider.
Also, ecash can have spending conditions.
Why would I want that? Any use case examples?
So far, I cannot imagine a scenario where cashu is useful. But then again, I think running a non-custodial lightning setup is easy.
