Boardwalk Cash Release - v0.1

Boardwalk cash is a dollar-denominated Chaumain Ecash wallet that can manage multiple Cashu mints and be controlled from apps via NWC. The wallet is still under heavy development and should be USED WITH CAUTION!

Tutorial

There is a lot of functionality hidden in Boardwalk Cash. In this brief tutorial we will cover adding a mint, getting tokens, and paying a lightning invoice.

Open the wallet

To get started sending and receiving your digital cash, head to boardwalkcash.com.

Add a mint

After diligently reading through the disclaimers, you will be prompted to add a mint that supports USD-denominated ecash. A mint issues ecash tokens and is responsible for providing token validation and liquidity. The digital ecash can be returned to the mint at any time in exchange for bitcoin.

Click the link to bitcoinmints.com (a nostr enabled marketplace for ecash mints) and find a Cashu mint that supports usd. Paste the mint url into Boardwalk Cash

note: usd tokens are denominated in cents (ie. 1 usd token == $0.01)

Mint tokens

In order to mint tokens, you will need to be able to pay a lightning invoice. Find any wallet that support lightning such as Alby, Mutiny, or Breez.

Click "Receive" and enter the amount you want to receive (ie. 0.05), then either copy the lightning invoice into your lightning wallet or scan the QR code. Soon after you pay the invoice you should see your balance increase.

Melt tokens

Click "Send" and paste in a lightning invoice from your wallet. This will burn tokens from Boardwalk Cash and send bitcoin to your lightning wallet.
