This is how retarded cashu is. Joe doesn’t have to run a node to run a mint. Cashu is not dependent on Bitcoin in any way. Lightning addresses are the only optional field to add Bitcoin support in any way to a mint. That lightning address can be a custodial or non-custodial. That means someone could run a mint with a wallet of satoshi address. Which means the mint operator themselves can be rugged by the custodial wallet provider they used as a funding source for their mint.

Lol
Y’all are so worried about getting rugged your missing the whole point
I’ve been using ecash for a long time and never lost a single sat
But even if I did get rugged it wouldn’t be enough to even make me upset
My life savings is onchain
And I have lightning channels also
But there are very good use case for ecash y’all are ignorantly missing
Sometimes lightning doesn’t work,
It’s hard onboarding new users to lightning because it comes at a cost to open a channel.
Not everyone will run a node,
Most probably never will lol
If the government shuts down the internet
Or there is a power outage
Or if you just want private small transactions
It’s wayyyy better for a normie to use than something like primal kyc wallet
Or strike to cash app
It gets people away from that kyc trash
But it’s retarded
Ok ✅
I lost more money running a lightning routing node than with ecash lol
I can run my own mint... For myself.
No one is rigging me but me.
Devs have even replaced nuts lost in the odd bug for helping to point out issues. An very honest bunch of devs with a bunch of honest users is a powerful force.
More options, the better.
I definitely believe that, I think this month I've paid like $50 to Zues LSP fees for constantly opening new channels🙄🙄
If you like lightning then go ahead and use it. If you want to use ecash then feel free. You want an onchain trasaction? Well and good. Why the fight man? You re free to use whatever you want according to your needs. SIMPLE!
