Nobody likes losing hard-earned cash — zaps even less so! Unlike paper cash, ecash can be recovered using your seed phrase, but until now the process has been painful, especially on mobile devices. Meet recovery.minibits.cash 🚀 A re-architected recovery tool for the Minibits mint, optimized for performance. image

Your seed prase never leaves your browser, yet most of the process happens on the server, vastly improving performance. Single recovery round scans up to 2500 recovery indexes, that should be enough for most wallets. To prevent attack on mint resources, further recovery rounds cost 100 sats, charged using brand new HTTP 402 standard (NUT 24 spec) - pay for api use with an ecash token. Free use then resumes after 15 minutes, based on ip address.

Worked like a charm! Got some sats! I was pretty sure I lost some tokens after a reckless reinstall and the app didn't recover them all. Thanks 😊👍🏻

I hear you and that's correct. Use when really needed and rotate to a new seed after. Sourcr code is available.

On minibits-cash github. Still early version, missing readme. All minibits related variables are in the .env, so that it can be deployed by other mint operators without code change, to speedup recovery from their owm mint.

I believe than you'd need to trust that the TLS certificate + domain name matches the mint's domain. You've had trusted the mint already when you've minted the ecash.
