This mint will indefinitely be set to peg-out only due to recent decisions regarding regulatory requirements and various compliance. Please redeem your ecash tokens soon, as the mint may be shut down at some arbitrary future date without notice.

Peg-ins have not been working since I upgraded the mint to the latest lnbits-cashu extension 0.5. I've set to peg-out only until this is fixed.

AI and robots free up human time for more meaningful jobs. Mankind will be more wealthy, not less, because to a laborer money represents goods. AI will lower the cost of goods, not raise them. The more goods there are available, the more goods the equivalent sum of money will command. Therefore, regardless if wages decline, human labor will be valued for tasks that AI cannot do. These are creative and inventive jobs. We will see a separation of labor from skill, and artisinal goods made by human hands or "proof of work" from a human mind will be far valued above anything created by a machine. The machines will provide our sustinence, and this will be for a very low cost because it will only involve commodities (things mass-produced) where humans will provide little value to assembly lines. People will be needed to perform investigative, creative, mental skill oriented tasks like troubleshooting the machines, like creating one-of-a-kind goods like hand-made items where human error and variation is a feature and increases an item's value. One observation I heard recently is that art, music, actors, and the like are values not for their perfection, but for its human authenticity. This is not something that can be emulated by an AI until it actually becomes the same as a human, including our limited and closely guarded ability to reproduce.

If the mint is eating your sats, please contact me and we can work through it

I've identified a problem with peg-ins. Its a bug in the cashu plugin itself. LN payments should still work fine

Which is more important to you in a cashu mint? Low fees, or reliability? #cashu #enuts #minibits #ecash

STPI cashu mint fees are finally working as intended! I presently have them set to LSP+0.25%. My LSP charges around 1% depending on the destination. Mint on! #cashu #ecash #enuts #minibits #0xchat

I'm noticing exorbitant fees being charged on some cashu to lightning payments. Contact me with a lightning payment proof and I will reimburse you with cashu.

The fees are not being passed through from the LSP as I originally thought. I'm seeing examples of 1.75%. I'm moving the fee back up to cover the coat. If you feel youre being overcharged, contact me and I can double check for you and reimburse you if it turns out to be off base. I will probably need to modify the lightning invoicing system to make it work the way I want so I can keep fees low.

Cashu mint update! I learned this new LSP conveys network fees before it generates an invoice. I dropped outgoing mint fees to 0.5% + LSP/LN fees. This may be the lowest cost public mint there is! #cashu #ecash #minibits #enuts https://stpaulinternet.net/cashu/mint/TTcmiEDSWmkefef3XqERKv

The STPI cashu mint is once again functional! The fees are raised until I get a notion of the new LSP's fees. It turns out the problem is someone was doing high volume transactions and exceeded my prior LSP's account volume limits. This new LSP also has limits, but charges fees when its gone over. Lets see how it works.

It appears the mint can pay invoices with no limitations, but cannot create inbound payments over 10 sats. I am working on two parallel resolutions and will keep posting updates here.

Lightning payments and withdrawls are temporarily unavailable. Cashu tokens are still transferable within the mint. Service is expected to return in the next 48 hours. #cashu

Being able to contribute to the freedom of mankind, and benefit while doing it, should be incentive enough to contribute to bitcoin core. Charity is always playing with fire, v4v only. #bitcoin

The SPI #cashu mint is open and available for use! If you're interested in a stpaulinternet.net lnaddress or nip-05 contact me. https://stpaulinternet.net/cashu/mint/TTcmiEDSWmkefef3XqERKv

If you buy the price will go down. If you sell the price will go up.

STPI cashu mint uptime: 314.159265359 hours. #cashu #enuts #minibits #ecash

My LSP is malfunctioning and I am presently working with them to resolve a problem. My server is not able to generate lightning invoices. This may take hours or days. If you require your sats in the meantime, send your cashu tokens to me via PM along with an LN invoice and I will redeem them to you manually. #onward
