Here's another boring invisible capability I implemented. If #nostr #safebox detects another lightning address has a safebox behind it, it bypasses lightning completely. Instead, the payment is completed by issuing cashu tokens and securely transmitting via #nauth. The payee listens for payments and accepts the tokens as they come in.

As for the user, they just think it's a regular lightning payment. As for other lightning addresses, #nostr #safebox simply falls back to the lightning network.

Truly private payments! Onward!
