Spec says that relay param may be more than one. You're right that multiple relay params in query string looks weird but that was what I've seen in some other implementation.
If it is indeed wrong encoding, I'd be happy to fix it but would prefer not to rely on a single relay.

I'd kindly recommend to setup a dev environment for any higher amounts of algo tests. It unnecessarily bloats involved mints state.

It's not 100% sure that the zap sender profile name is tracked within the transaction. Public sender profile is requested from relays at the moment of zap conversion to ecash, but there are cases when it fails and is skipped.

2024-09-01 19:39:25

- reply

Please try to select another keyset (option in recovery screen just above button to kick off recovery)
Older ecash was typically issued with 9ml... keyset or so.

Token is obtained automatically on granting the permission and refrehed on wallet start - user is not involved in it. If it fails to do so, it means that the device has no Play services installed / available.
I've released yesterday a small fix that will fallback to websocket nwc connection in that case (permission granted and device token missing).
Unfortunately this is really a "demo" solution as it will work only when app is in the foreground (means zaps are sent from app on other device / pc).

2024-08-26 22:28:10

- reply

For cypherpunks there is of course a fallback - if notification permission is not granted, NWC messages keep going over the standard websocket subscription.
Now it is upon the real ones to kick their OS not to close it when the app is backgrounded and then open source that for all others.

Do you have push notifications enabled and working?

2024-08-26 09:07:22

- reply

When Minibits is in killed state, in my tests the zap is paid reliably by ecash, however android suppresses or delays the nwc response sending - but not sure how Amethyst or others handle this case.
Still, zap receipt is published from the server, so not missing.

Go to Settings > Wallet on primal, deactivate default wallet and add NWC connection string from #Minibits

2024-08-22 12:52:13

- reply

Requires to have push notifications enabled and working as they work as a data carrier to pass encrypted NWC requests to the device when wallet app is in the background or off.
Experimental, background processing is limited by Android OS, depends on many things such as battery level, there is no guarantee it will work on every device.
Use only with apps you trust and with small daily limits!

I hesitated to add NWC to @npub1kva…tkzv for so long, deeming it bad choice for mobile devices… until I could not hear 'wen nwc🧐?' anymore.
Now, in reckless mode, you can connect to Minibits from your favorite #nostr apps and make payments, even when the wallet is asleep😴.

2024-07-31 18:19:19

- reply

I've checked the mint, there are quite a lot of pending notes.
I've checked one on lightning node directly and related payment is still in flight.
So it's upon receiving node to fail or complete the lightning payment.
If you pass me melt_quote id, I can check precisely yours.

2024-07-24 22:29:41

- reply

Did you keep Minibits open while paying the invoice? It should detect the payment while in foreground.
You can retry and if the name is still free it should allow you to book again.
I'll check tommorow the server and if you'd donate twice I'll send you sats back. Gb

Sorry for trouble. Go to Settings > Backup and recovery, copy your seed phrase and go through wallet address recovery. It will solve the issue.

2024-06-23 21:31:35

- reply

Easiest way to move ecash to another wallet is just send it there, no need to run the recovery from seed.
Another than Minibits wallet won't be able to receive funds sent to minibits.cash lightning address - seed recovery there regenerates ecash only with help of the mint.

2024-06-11 10:09:21

Sent you test zap. Please post which version you are running from dev options screen. Will check on server and re-publish any not yet claimed if any later when at the pc

Means you are trying to access non existent mint. Legend lnbits team disabled cashu mints on their server some time ago.

Submitted as #78 to our github.

That means your device is triggering local notifications on ecash coming still over nostr relays.
Make sure you run latest native release and over the air update (0.1.8-beta.20) and notifications are enabled in Settings.
As well check if your device supports delivery of notifications over firebase (requires google play services installed)

2024-05-31 22:14:24

- reply

Please get the native release hotfix released yesterday + over the air update.
There is a fix that makes sure your push token syncs and messages start to fly. You should be on 0.1.8-beta.20

Thank you for your zaps coming! No better way to test that push notifications work!

In Cashu transaction between mints always includes Lightning.
Of course two-step process (creating an invoice on one mint and paying it from another) can be streamlined by the UX, some wallets do that.
When other than sats mint take off, I'll add it as well so there it good ux for "exchange" transaction.

2024-05-14 13:00:59

Yes, wallet supports multiple mints. Jus go to Settings > Manage mints to add some or scan mint URL encoded as QR code from main screen.

LNC is very well designed, with high security standards in place. NWC shines in interoperability because every nostr relay plays role of "mailbox" in LNC terms.

2024-04-27 14:26:13

- reply

Hi! With Minibits, your ecash lives directly on mobile device.
NWC requires a server to talk to using nostr messages. So to make it work, ecash would have to be in server-side wallet.
NWC is cool if you have your own lightning node running somewhere or to make custodial lightning interoperable.
For ecash, I'd like to figure out ways how to make it rather less centralized.

2024-04-27 14:04:54

After three days of unstable and slow Minibits mint, zaps and lightning address services we are hopefully back to being faster then lightning!

All evil caused by slow TLS handshakes on reverse proxy server. Not much that can be googled about, had to dig into the deep hole of wireshark. Nevertheless, only remedy was just to migrate reverse proxy out of container and rebuild it directly on host server.
Sorry for inconvenience, one can not be pissed enough when zaps do not go through!

2024-04-25 18:06:15

- reply

Hi thank you for heads up. Last two days minibits.cash faces delays in TLS handshakes for yet unknown reasons - I did not change any related reverse proxy settings. Will need to investigate further.

2024-04-24 12:55:23

There seems to be network related issues preventing the wallets to reach the Minibits mint. Please have some patience, working on it.

Own LNBits instance is still part of the stack as it helps to keep mint's funds segregated from funds needed to have liquidity reserve on the lightning node.
But now mint is no more LNBits extension but runs pure Nutshell in it's own container.

First major #Minibits mint upgrade completed today. Huge thanks to @npub12rv…85vg to help me to play with fire.
Now ready for really cool stuff to come.
IMPORTANT: Please accept latest Minibits wallet update immediately before usage, it includes important fix to support smooth mint keys rotation.
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind Minibits is still in research and wild development of best ecash ever. Do not use with money you'd regret to break up with.

There will be roughly 10 min outage of minibits mint within the next hour or so because of mint upgrade.
During the outage, mint requests will fail with Network timeout.
In case you will have failed received transactions over nostr, go to transaction detail and you'll find new button Retry to receive.

2024-03-12 11:43:38

- reply

Ok then you might need to reach the recovery window with index around 700 - 1000 to get to unspent ecash.
So enter seed, add mint and then click again and again to move recovery index further. Not very comfortable but you should get step by step to your sats.

What do you mean by nothing show up? Lightning node does not touch your ecash balance, that lives on the device. Only the ability to send and receive lightning payments/zaps.
Do you mean that your wallet does not show any balance? Could you dm me the audit trail of your last transaction or any other errors you've encountered?
If you'd deleted the mints with balance, most likely recovery will be needed to get it back.

Hey, the fact that you received zaps to another wallet could be due to that the sender still saw the version of your nostr profile with an old address on his relays.
Zapped you now, you should receive to #Minibits.

2024-03-01 21:02:39

- reply

#Minibits is an ecash + lightning wallet. You own ecash notes with specific amounts in your wallet that can be sent to anybody or exchanged with the mint that issued them for bitcoin.
Mint is a sort of "account-less" bank. It issues new ecash against incoming lightning network payment and give you back bitcoin against returning the ecash.
While bitcoin is held in custody and you trust the mint honoring its obligations, ecash can circulate with much privacy guarantees, as the mint can not trace actual transactions.
Ecash note is a random number and denomination digitally signed by mint that can be sent in any way, even while offline to receiver. Receiver then exchanges it for fresh one with the mint (eliminating double spend risk) and transaction is complete.
Ecash in combination with instant topups / withdrawals to Liggtning can be passed as a self-bearing token easily over the network or any other communication mean and thus seems to represent viable alternative to scale bitcoin for smaller payments.

2024-02-15 22:06:05

Minibits now shows who you've received your zap from!
Just go to settings to get this small update over-the-air dedicated to zap-collectors.
