Hi! With Minibits, your ecash lives directly on mobile device.
NWC requires a server to talk to using nostr messages. So to make it work, ecash would have to be in server-side wallet.
NWC is cool if you have your own lightning node running somewhere or to make custodial lightning interoperable.
For ecash, I'd like to figure out ways how to make it rather less centralized.
Hi, I haven't looked into it a lot but Mutiny seems to be able to do it. Does the wallet need to be online all the time or can payments be approved asynchronously?
I checked very briefly and you are right - some scenarios could work nicely, such as request to pay over nwc. I always thought about it in terms of controlling the wallet from another app.
Minibits currently has its own request to pay schema to share the requests with contacts, but switch it to nwc standard would unlock that for many other apps.
Thanks for idea, I'll dig in deeper once I'll be done with the new native release in the making.
thanks for the answer came here to ask the same.
wonder now why NWC is needed when we already have LND via LNC.

LNC is very well designed, with high security standards in place. NWC shines in interoperability because every nostr relay plays role of "mailbox" in LNC terms.
