Oddbean new post about login | logout What’s the best *custodial* lightning solution these days for US users - just for low value zaps? Fees and balance/tx size limits are fine, KYC is not.
Ideally, it should be easy to transfer in/out from another Bitcoin wallet
Probably Cashu
Cashu as of today IMO (as no "good" non-custodial lightning wallets exist anymore [for zaps]) Minibits Cashu.me
Makes sense… and it auto converts to lightning sats when you zap?
Yes correct. Every mint or fedi ecash can auto-convert to lightning sats. This is because every mint is from a lightning node.
So when you recommended Minibits, Cashu.me, are these both mobile apps or just web apps? Is there any solution which is cross platform and generally good UX? Or we’re not there yet? 🤙
• Cashu.me is a webapp, can be installed as PWA • #Enuts is an iOS & android app (great app) • Minibits is an android only app Cashu.me is prob best to start - webapp so platform agnostic - easy backup process with seed phrase - in settings, one tap to turn on Lightning@Address - in settings, one tap to turn on NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) https://image.nostr.build/d187c4c0983de02333fa397dc07491ac4d5f92a7ad588731b2781bcab66ba58a.jpg
Thank you, and i can configure this as my zaps wallet for nostr clients? MiniBits was also recommended. I primarily use Damus
Yes Using the NWC option shown in the picture above, you can add those credentials (copy & paste, or QR code) into Damus as your zaps wallet to one-tap-zap, and use the built-in lightning@address to receive zaps. All in and out from the same wallet. Works amazingly well
There should be a some guide on how to do this If not I should make one..🤔
Minibits.cash
