Nostrly lightning redirection now falls back to Cashu eCash.
If a user doesn't have a Lightning Address set up in their Nostr profile, or they set their Nostrly address as the Lightning Address, Nostrly will redirect zaps to their npub.cash wallet automatically.
So zaps sent to a Nostrly address will ALWAYS find a LUD-16 callback, regardless of how the user has set up their Nostr profile.
It also means that privacy-minded Nostrlings can avoid broadcasting their actual LN address, and keep their zap receipts private.
That's because Cashu eCash is a Bitcoin bearer token (like a dollar bill). You can deposit your eCash sats back to a Lightning wallet any time, with no record of where it came from (like cash).
I've set my own profile LN address to field test it. Any zaps will turn into eCash tokens in my npub.cash wallet.
Huge shoultout to calle 👁️⚡👁️ (nprofile…h36r) and Egge (nprofile…dgp0) for their hard work making Cashu eCash such a great addition to the Bitcoin and Nostr ecosystem.
