This is super useful, thanks. Definitely cleared some things out. Some further questions.
So if I understand correctly, ecash is not technically a “file” in my hard drive, but a string in my hard drive, text. Basically containing the secret and the mint’s signature (after my wallet has decrypted the signature) and probably other data like the amount?
How is the receiver blinded exactly? I meant, the mint knows they are sending a signed blinded secret to a wallet. I’m guessing this information is encrypted too? Or how does the mint know where to send the ecash? Is it a randomly generated public key?
What does my wallet do with that string after it sends it to someone and it’s redeemed? Does my wallet get rid of it? How? ELI5
Also I want to know more about how the mint stays blind as to who is requesting the ecash or who’s redeeming ecash for lightning.
What’s the best wallet in your opinion? I’m using eNuts, but I’ve noticed cashu.me and minibits get updated more frequently with new features and improvements. It’s been months since the last eNuts update. So wondering if the other 2 are better?
