NWC is easier for connecting your own node and doing self custody. If we are giving up on self custody then sure cashu is better. I am not gonna give though and I am surprised so many bitcoiners on nostr are like this. What happened to not your keys not your coins. We should be building better self custody tech, not tech that is optimizing for custody.

I don't plan to keep large sums of money in my zap wallet. I'll just keep a few bucks there to zap ppl. Not worth the inconvenience of running my own node. Especially when the likelihood of my... (Looks it up) $4.81 being stolen is pretty low.

I thought cashu supported NWC. Could of swore calle showed me a demo if this

I’m writing a plugin for BTCPay Server to support NWC, I use it on my own server at the moment. Would be good if others supported it too.

Agreed, I'm surprised by the push for cashu. Cashu may add nicer onboarding into lightning, but we need better self custody experiences. Imo we are one leap away from having it. Phoenix connects to a single LSP and is locked to the LSP. If there would be an intuitive way to migrate the channel to another LSP in the case Acinq goes down, then we have a fully self custodial lightning with great experience.

we should do both

CoinOS, LifPay, LNbits, Minibits, and I think a few other cashu wallets support NWC
