[BonusApp] Cashu
Since a Cashu mint extension is no longer integrated/deprecated in LNbits the RaspiBlitz misses the possiblity to run a Cashu mint. The goal here would be to look into options of alternatives to run a mint and und use LND/CL for a lightning gateway.
The most logical choice seems to run the python based reference mint: https://github.com/cashubtc/nutshell
Looking at the .env
both LND or CL can be configured to use as a Lightning Gateway .. using REST and needing the usual macaroon access tokens (should be configured thru systemd pre-start in RaspiBlitz).

The management is just CLI based ... so at least for statistics and some basic functions there should be a basic WebUI module.
Also the general question arises how to make the mint publicly available on the internet. Only some Cashu wallets can handle Tor onion-address:port - most rely on clearnet connection. So RaspiBlitz should add Tor hidden service as an additional possibility but should not rely on it as only option.
