so i receive to ln address or npub, and then redeem in lightning or cashu?
It's Bitcoin converted by a trusted mint into an offline currency. It's like a digital IOU. You give the mint some sats by lightning, they give you a token that is redeemable for the same amount of sats.
Right I don't know if there's a way around that. I assume you have to have the mint communicate with a device in such a way that the device can only be "unlocked" once? At first glance it does seem "possible". But if you're handing someone some ecash, they can just redeem it immediately, for Bitcoin or for new ecash.
