Okay yeah, should try with cdk-cli instead. But I think issuing Cashu tokens (XSR) for search seems redundant. It'd like Routstr nodes issuing credits. Wouldn't it be better to just accept Cashu tokens from a few mints on a per request basis? Or accept lightning and issue normal sats from your own mint? Especially because a new unit like this isn't supported by most wallets yet. Also, does it cost 42 sats per request? Seems too expensive imo. Is it just for testing?

Routstr's token scheme mirrors IMF's Special Drawing Rights, consolidating power in a few mints, namely BlackRock and Vanguard.
Xsr is more a proof on concept that you can do this custom use case for ecash. If you want to pay SATs you can use the x402. Yeah its expensive but that's just what kagi charges me I'm making nothing on it in fact losing money on it.
