Oddbean new post about login | logout Happy Friday...! if you are still using @walletofsatoshi or any custodial lightning address... here's your chance to go less-custodial Either get a vanity address @npub.cash or simply use your npub@npub.cash to see all your zaps flow into cashu wallet... I've already changed mine to starbuilder@npub.cash. Check it out: https://npub.cash/ Thanks to @Egge and @calle 👁️⚡👁️ for this.

I think it's dangerous to tell people that a cashew wallet is non-custodial. Unless you're running the mint It's just not true.
He didn’t, did he?
I am starting to use the word “less-custodial”
It's not any "less custodial" than wallet of Satoshi. The operator of the mint can rug at any time.
If they move you to a different jail cell of your choice each day, you're still in jail.
Fair. But it's not any "less custodial" than wallet of Satoshi. Whoever's operating the mint can rug at any time. I'm not knocking the tech. (I like and use cashew) It's just not being presented very honestly here.
What is the better way to communicate to a non technical user that walletofsatoshi lightning address is tied to 1 company whereas npub.cash can live independently of lightning mode.
Probably better to say it's a more private custodial solution
what does less custodial mean in this context?
It means he's a liar.
less custodial means your lightning address is not tied to one lightning wallet. you can claim your sats to any cashu or lightning wallet.
You could do less harm to humanity by selling drugs.
CASHU IS CUSTODIAL!
More private but not less custodial Although in terms of custody, you do get to choose which mints you trust all within your Cashu wallet, which IMO is an improvement on being locked into just 1 (like WoS, alby, etc)
Yes, and the tokens are also a bearer asset in that they are saved on the device, but still 100% ruggable by mint. I am a huge advocate and user of cashu because it allows Nostr Natives to obtain and interact with zaps on nostr until they save enough to potentially move down a layer without creating an account with a company.
exactly..! simply a better solution that single lightning wallet
ok. final verdict.. "Cashu is a more private, better and new custodial solution that can still rug pull you but you have the option to pick a mint or move to another mint or run your own mint"
wtf is less custodial please get over yourselves and make something useful
@starbuilder do you have any getalby invites?
