You can copy and input that string into a wallet like cashu.me or eNuts and redeem that way

See here:

we got it

Yo pretty cool! I'm surprised it's gonna cost me 4k Sats to send it via lightning tho. Fees are low

Wow, that’s a lot. Must be a new channel creation type thing or something? I’m not 100% sure about the cashu protocol and how it all interfaces with lightning.

I'm assuming it's the new channel creation but it still seems high for a base chain fee

Maybe 0XChat?

I need an education on cashu nuts and stuff. Don't know the first thing about it.

I thought cashu relies on the mints lightning channels

The mint can set any amount it wants i guess to redeem. This is just another way they can scam ya.

Coinos.io is another option. Once you redeem it, you can either keep it there or pay a Lightning invoice to send it off.

Second eNuts or CashU. eNuts is in app stores. Cashu.me is a PWA.

That is really high! Weird. What mint is it?

This is true. Hopefully any mints not being straightforward about this won’t be used / will get called out. Wallet of Satoshi could have done this too.

Cashu can integrate with NWC too!

Yeah this sounds like a lightning node issue. Did you not have an existing lightning wallet? Just FYI receiving small transactions to a new node with no channels is an expensive proposition. Your service provider probably has a minimum channel size and you are being charged for extra inbound liquidity. Best practice is to fund a new lightning wallet with a large on-chain transaction. Then spend your balance down naturally or swap it out with a submarine swap. That way you have a large channel balance ready ahead of time with inbound liquidity. This lets you avoid paying high time preference fees. Worst practice is to start with a small channel and have to increase the size of your channel each time you receive a payment. It sounds like you might be doing the latter. You might as well use Muun b/c you are transacting on chain for each LN payment. 😬

I wouldn't rush to blame the mint without more info. Sounds like a lightning wallet setup issue.

I don't know a ton, but it worked super easy

im still learning and don't have a response

minibits

Me too, I want to run my own mint

I've gone down the road far enough to know that I don't want to manage lightning channels

Don't use eNuts it isn't maintained. Use cashu.me or @Minibits . Sounds like you are trying to open a channel with the token. Cashu doesn't take fees to redeem. There are fees to send a lightning transaction however.

It doesn’t, won’t or can’t? Seems like that would be a good mint business model

haha samesies

That’s one of the ones I use too.

DON'T USE ENUTS. IT'S NOT BEING MAINTAINED.

DON'T USE ENUTS. IT'S NOT BEING MAINTAINED.

Thanks for head’s up!
