Now you can pay a Lightning invoice from two different Cashu mints at the same time.
Enter atomic multinut payments.
All Cashu wallets let you use multiple mints. To reduce rug risk, we encourage users to leave only small amounts on each mint. This introduces a big UX challenge which forces users to distribute funds on different mints in a smart way. It's particularly problematic when you're trying to pay a bigger Lightning invoice from your small balances. Who has time for that?
The Lightning protocol allows nodes to split a single payment HTLC into multiple parts to increase the chance of reaching the destination, called Multi-Path Payments (MPP). Typically, that's done from one sender to one receiver. What if... you can just break the rules?
A multinut payment originates from multiple Lightning nodes to pay a single invoice, atomically. Even if none of your mint balances can cover an invoice, as long as your total balance is large enough, you can pay the invoice.
I don't think anyone was crazy enough to do this before. Pretty sure what you see here is the first invoice being paid using a CLN and an LND node at the same time. Amazing work by the team, special thanks to @lollerfirst.

This is really cool. I never considered doing MPP from more than a single node, but it makes pretty obvious sense that it should work.
I wish the SN boycott would end so I could ask questions. Oh well.

Ah @tidwell sent this to me
Maybe we should challenge them and tell them that a pay-to-post relay is not very different from posting on Stacker News since relays also have operators and most users aren’t going to pay multiple relays to store the same data + you can crosspost to nostr from SN
Will reach out to @nvk on nostr to see what he would say to that

it's funny, they are talking about walled gardens on x 🤣

I wouldn't bother personally. The details of the argument don't matter to him.
He's bemoaning posting in "walled gardens" from another "walled garden" he posts on all the time. So, it's not about walled gardens. It's that he thinks people posting here takes something away from nostr. He sees the whole "bitcoin social media" thing as zero sum which imo just speaks to how shitty the product market fit of it all is.

Okay, I gave up writing a nostr note and mentioning him, even though I would really love to have a conversation with him about SN+crossposting vs paid relays vs Primal. But will probably not be worth it considering that I could have spent that time writing code.

opensats in general have conflict in interests in everything so atp they control the dev ecosyem, don’t piss them off @k00b, or you will regret you did

More features like this will make running personal/private mints a thing. Meaning, this gives a node runner more utility than their node already provides.
