Cool! Forgot about this tool.
Did you happen to keep that change token at the top?
Typically, when a lightning invoice is paid, there’s usually a fee reserve.
Once the invoice is paid with the original Cashu token, you get change that’s added back to your wallet (if you were using one).
Since you used this tool that isn’t a wallet, it gave you your change back as another Cashu token.
Not a big deal if you didn’t copy it. It’s usually only a sat or two.
If you want to play around with a wallet next time, check out bullishNuts — it’s a PWA that I made. 😎🥜
I did not keep it 😭😭
My first time interacting with cashu ever! Why is there change??

I guess because it’s interfacing with the Lightning network, and fees can be variable.
So in my example above, I had a 23 sat token. After sending 20 sats to a Lightning address, 2 sats were taken for network fees and I got a 1 sat change token.
Hope that helps.
