Yes

Server still has IP address and can link API calls that way, but better than alternatives

So each API call will also return remaining ecash token?

I thought about using LN for monetizing API access, but this sounds better and achieves the goal to reduce roundtrips (compared to „create invoice for every request“)! If I understood Cashu correctly, you can „top up“ a balance with the first LN invoice (say, 1000 sats), and then send 10 re...

Good concept

Can't you do that with a normal Bearer token? You Pay LN invoice ➡️ Server return `access_token` ➡️ you include 'Bearer ${access_token}' in Header The token validity could be based on how much you pay. e.g. 10sats per API call

This post finally convinced me that there is a meaningful use case to Fediminta besides creating Fiat on Bitcoin rails.

Who needs anything other than btc tho

I've built a proof of concept. Pay for API access with ecash. Server doesn't know who you are. - Server: a HTTP middleware with a Cashu mint and requires ecash in the HTTP header - Client: HTTP client that puts ecash into header It took me a couple hours. Mint and wallet are imported as libraries....
