 How offline receiving (zaps on nostr) works with the Minibits Lightning address:

- The server provides a Lightning address
- When someone zaps you, the Lightning payment is converted to ecash
- The ecash is then sent to your wallet via encrypted note DMs waiting for you to come back online
- When you open your wallet, it connects to a set of nostr relays and receives the ecash into your wallet

 So this could be a web wallet without the need to download an app?

 You'd still have to download minibits to claim the funds from the lightning address

 Minibits can only be a native app and not a webapp?

 Yes. Try nutstash.app or cashu.me if you prefer PWAs.

 Awesome thanks!

 Are there benefits with using the PWAs instead of the native apps for ecash?

 I am interested in web-only flows for new people joining nostr and being able to send and receive zaps. Also, apps can be censored by app stores.

 It *could* be web wallet communicating with nostr/lnurl servers, mints and relays.

Just keep in mind that to keep the wallet state safe and working, web is far from ideal.

For instance, Minibits uses 2 separate storage technologies (mmkv as fast read/write, sqlite as append only backup) to prevent / recover from storage failures. This is not possible on the web. Safe keys store is as well big challenge on the web.

 Ok thanks for the input. I think for new people dipping their toes it could be useful

 Why would I want ecash over lightning?

 Are you using a noncustodial LN address right now? If not, there's probably no wallet with better privacy than a Cashu wallet currently.

 "When you open your wallet, it connects to a set of nostr relays and receives the ecash into your wallet"

 Any chance there will be an iOS version in the future?

 Minibits is react native app, so there is no other showstopper than to spend enough time to kick the ios build until it's working.
I have appstore dev account, so should be possible to release if not stuck in approval.

 don't really understand how it works

but it solves my issue, is open source, and the best bit - its not WoS

 That's actually brilliant.  It's temporarily custodial but for a legitimate reason.  A great use for nuts.

 Can multiple mints belong to different Lightning addresses?
