claim_and_redeem retried every redeem failure indefinitely, including a
terminal one: mint error 11001 "Token Already Spent" (a claim replayed by a
relay-watermark edge case, or already redeemed by an earlier run). On
archy-x250-pa3 this pinned pending_claims at 1 forever and hammered
mint.minibits.cash's swap endpoint every ~6s, with the UI permanently
showing "a payment arrived but couldn't be redeemed yet".
- mint_client: expose the NUT error-code-11001 message as
ALREADY_REDEEMED_MSG so callers can recognize it without duplicating the
string.
- minibits: drop (not retry) a redeem failure that matches
is_already_redeemed — the value was already swept, so retrying can never
succeed.
- fetch_relay_dms: query the primary relay.minibits.cash alone first,
falling back to the public relay.damus.io/nos.lol only if it's
unreachable, and page past a 200-DM backlog instead of silently
stranding older DMs behind an un-advanced watermark.
This fix already existed on feat/minibits-lnurl-receive (4e410d7, 489995c,
2026-09-09) but that branch was never merged into main, which has its own
independently-diverged minibits.rs — so the bug shipped again in
1.8.16-alpha. Ported directly onto main's current implementation this time.
Immediate unblock on archy-x250-pa3: cleared the one poisoned
pending_claims entry from wallet/minibits.json by hand (already-redeemed,
zero value at risk) and restarted archipelago.service; confirmed via
journalctl that polling is quiet again.

writeup.

Confirmed live 2026-09-08 against three real Lightning payments to a
registered @minibits.cash address: POST /claim (the only claim source
claim_and_redeem checked) always returned an empty array, no matter
how long or how often it was polled. Independently queried
wss://relay.minibits.cash and found all three payments sitting there
as NIP-04-encrypted kind-4 DMs, #p-tagged to the wallet's own Nostr
pubkey and authored by the Minibits service key — that is the actual
delivery channel for a payment made to the address, and this module
never looked at it.
fetch_relay_dms queries CLAIM_RELAY_URLS (the service's own relay plus
two public fallbacks) for kind-4 events tagged to our pubkey, feeding
matching content into the existing pending_claims retry pipeline
unchanged. A new last_dm_seen_at watermark stops the same (immutable,
never-expiring) relay event from being re-fetched and re-attempted on
every poll. The REST /claim call stays in place alongside it in case
it serves some other payment path — this only adds the missing one.
fix(ecash): trim stray whitespace before parsing a cashuA/cashuB token
Once the relay fix above surfaced the three real payments, all three
failed to redeem with "Invalid base64 in cashuB token" — the decrypted
NIP-04 content had a trailing space after the base64 payload (Minibits'
own encoding), which every base64 alphabet in decode_token_base64
rejects outright. CashuToken::deserialize now trims the whole token
string before touching the "cashuA"/"cashuB" prefix or payload. This is
a general robustness fix, not just a Minibits workaround — the same
stray-whitespace failure could hit a hand-pasted token from a clipboard
copy just as easily.
Both fixes verified end-to-end against production: all three stuck
payments (20 + 5 + 20 = 45 sats) redeemed cleanly on the first poll
after deploying this build to archy-x250-pa3.

archy-x250-pa3's data volume filled to 100% (cuprate at 125G, since
removed) while a client had the ecash receive tab open. save_state's
write landed mid-truncate, leaving wallet/minibits.json at 0 bytes.
load_state then hard-failed every wallet.ecash-lnaddress call with
"EOF while parsing a value", surfaced in the UI as "Lightning address
unavailable" — permanently, since nothing ever cleared the bad file.
Registration is idempotent per pubkey (re-registering returns the same
lud16 Minibits already assigned), so there's no reason a corrupt local
mirror of that state should be fatal. load_state now treats an empty
or unparseable state file the same as a missing one — re-register and
recover the same address — instead of erroring. Manually cleared the
stuck file on archy-x250-pa3 as an immediate fix; this closes the gap
so it self-heals next time.

A Minibits /claim response consumes the payment server-side the instant
it's returned — it can never be re-fetched. claim_and_redeem previously
decrypted/redeemed each claim inline and just warn!-logged any failure,
so a mint-unreachable blip, a stale cached server key, or an operator
who'd edited their accepted-mints list to drop the default mint (via
streaming.configure-mints) could make a real payment vanish with
nothing but a log line to show for it — claimed_count/received_sats
still came back as a clean 0, identical to "nothing arrived."
Now: every fetched claim is persisted to MinibitsState.pending_claims
before decrypt/redeem is attempted, survives failures across polls
instead of being dropped, and claim_and_redeem no longer bails out on a
fetch error without first retrying whatever was already pending.
ensure_mint_accepted self-heals the accepted-mints allow-list so the
Minibits mint (the address is inherently backed by it) can't be
excluded out from under a claim. ClaimOutcome gains failed_count,
threaded through wallet.ecash-lnaddress-claim and shown in
ReceiveBitcoinModal so a stuck claim is visible instead of silent.
Also fixes the server_nostur_pubkey field-name typo (no live state to
migrate — this feature hasn't shipped yet).

The wallet used Minibits only as a Cashu mint, so the node could hold and
swap ecash there but had no addressable name at it. This derives a LUD-16
Lightning address (name@minibits.cash) from the node's own ecash wallet and
surfaces it in the ecash Receive tab above the existing paste-token box.
Identity reuses the NUT-13 ecash phrase, so there is no second secret:
- seedHash = sha256(mnemonic.to_seed("")) — the exact hash the Minibits app
stores, so restoring the same phrase recovers the same address both ways;
- Nostr keys via NIP-06 at m/44'/1237'/0'/0/0 (nostr-sdk Keys::from_mnemonic,
pinned by a unit test against the NIP-06 vector so a bump cannot silently
move the derivation and orphan the profile).
Backend (wallet/minibits.rs) implements the verified live /v3 flow: NIP-42
challenge/verify -> JWT, idempotent /profile registration with collision
retry, and /claim polling that NIP-04-decrypts each token (service pubkey read
from the address's own LUD-16 metadata, constant fallback) and redeems it
through ecash::receive_token. Mainnet-only; state cached 0600 in
wallet/minibits.json.
New RPC: wallet.ecash-lnaddress (register-or-read, idempotent) and
wallet.ecash-lnaddress-claim (sweep Lightning payments into ecash). The modal
fetches the address on tab open, renders QR + copy, and sweeps claims while
open; a registration failure is non-fatal so paste-token still works.
Verified end-to-end against production: registered a disposable
@minibits.cash address, confirmed it resolves via /.well-known/lnurlp, and the
claim poll returns cleanly.
