Stashu v0.2.0 is live.
Main new thing: Verified Peek.
The problem was simple. If a file is encrypted, how do you know what you're about to pay for?
For text files, sellers can now show a small preview pulled straight from the file. Stashu checks the preview proof before payment, then checks the decrypted file again after unlock.
Other formats like PDFs, images, and archives fall back to no preview for now, but still get the post unlock check. Richer previews for those should come later, generated locally.
So the buyer gets a simple answer:
is what I just unlocked tied to the same file that was shown before I paid?
Also in this release:
- Blossom server selection + mirroring + download fallback
- public seller storefronts
- cleaner README and diagrams
- a bunch of small UI polish
Demo stash:

Stashu โ Sell Files for Bitcoin
The blind vending machine for the sovereign web. Sell digital files for sats with Cashu ecash โ no accounts, no KYC.
Still early days, so testing and feedback genuinely help. Curious what breaks, what feels confusing, and what feels good. Issues and PRs welcome too.
