And then Cashu is based on what. If stable coins aren't based on fiat anymore then they're not stablecoins anymore.

Great idea, a ruggable centralized single point of failure in a hot wallet running on a single server somewhere. lol

And it isnt that already, how?

Is it a hot wallet? Is it a single server?

Any centralized alt should be cashu. Tether won't though because that wouldn't allow for them to freeze or confiscate funds.

Mints dont have to be single servers they can be horizontally scaled

This discussion is about cashu. Can it federate a la fedimint?

Im not sure what you're talking about. It already federates into multiple mints.

And even if a single mint can scale to multiple servers that already does what tether or any other crypto currency claimn

Claims to do *

As far as I know (haven't looked into it in awhile) this is not accurate. Your wallet can have ecash from multiple mints, yes, but a mint operates by itself ("single server hot wallet"). fedimint expands on the concept, requiring more than just one machine, thus enhancing reliability and security.

Single mint doesn't mean single server just so you know.

Stablecoins based on blockchains are already that. Cashu would at least offer much better privacy and offline (semi) working.

Do you have any docs to back that up? Again, it's possible that it's changed since I looked at it, which is awhile ago. I tried to find the information now and nothing came up. I highly doubt based on what I remember about cashu's architecture that your assertion could be correct. Indeed, this is also why fedimint was created in the first place.
