Based on feedback from many users, we’ve also realized that having only a Cashu ecash wallet in Keychat isn’t enough. We’re exploring a way to connect users’ existing Lightning wallets to Keychat — with Keychat serving purely as the front-end UI, while the wallet itself continues to run on the user’s own server or desktop. (Screenshot from the Alby extension) We’re also exploring Ark. image

Imagine Keychat Wallet supporting both an Ark wallet and a Cashu wallet. Most funds would be kept in the Ark wallet, while the Cashu wallet balance would be automatically kept at 1,000 sats. If the Cashu balance drops below 1,000 sats, Ark sats would be automatically converted into Cashu sats; if it rises above 1,000 sats, Cashu sats would be automatically converted back into Ark sats. That way, a user’s maximum loss from a Cashu mint failure would be limited to 1,000 sats. View quoted note →

Btw check out the cashu channel idea for tens of thousands of sub payments per token set. Might be interesting for your use case where the user always pays the same entity (relay).

Watch: @npub1zthq...xm56 makes 10,000 micro transactions in 10 seconds via Cashu payment channels (Nutella?). Only two interactions with the mint are required (opening and closing the channel). The mint doesn't know that the channel exists. It doesn't require a protocol update. Perfection. View quoted note →

Mini Apps can now use the Keychat wallet to pay Lightning invoices.
