Ecash in Minibits lives on device and in order to make recovery possible, it is generated using sequencer and seed that are device-based as well.
So you can't use the same seed with another device as you'd with classic custodial architecture.
Minibits nostr/lightning addresses are linked to the seed as well so that they can be moved to new device as a part of recovery process.
