Is there a workflow diagram / visual presentation to explain how this works, what are the steps, who does what, where counterparty risks may be? Very interesting, but since its bleeding edge it feels like a black box. Would be very helpful to explain this simply & visually to help onboard people.

If someone deposits btc into the mint for USD notes, and btc goes up against the dollar, does the mint keep the profit and pay out less sats? And vice versa would the mint loose profit in the opposite?
I'm lost at this ... So I thought that mint should keep bitcoin by LN receipt and then it gives back ecash to user (like a kind of bank). Here in the draw I saw that user pay directly the LN receipt to the exchange but mint will release anyway ecash to the user. So I mean that it seems from the draw that mint is giving ecash to the user but it doesn't get sats on change, that are paid directly to the exchange. Probably I'm missing something
