Introducing Boardwalk Cash - the first dollar-based Cashu wallet built on top of #bitcoin and connected to #nostr. We now have stablecash on bitcoin - completely interoperable with the lightning network. Share your lightning address or invoice to receive dollars. Paste a lightning address or invoice to send dollars. Boardwalk Cash connects to any nostr client via NWC. Zap dollars on nostr apps like @npub12vkc...pugg or on Discord with our Zap Bot. This is a very early product and there are not many public mints, so use at your own risk. Yet, we’re excited to show some of what ecash and nostr can offer for advancing #bitcoin payments. image

Fascinating! How difficult would it be to either add other national currencies (say the Mexican peso or the Japanese yen)? As someone else said in the comments, they would want their grandmother to be able to use something like this, so having sats dominated in the local currency would make that way easier.
