Despite recent regulatory crackdowns against custodians and privacy, i think cashu has a good chance of success because of how easily mints can proliferate.

WoS, Phoenix, ZBD, Alby are much easier targets as they operate centrally around a company.

Seems like a Catch 22

Publicly known mint runners that become popular will be easier for users to trust, but also easier for governments to target/regulate/take down

Anonymous mint runners will be harder for governments to target, but easier to rugpull their users without consequence

Or we could have local mint operators, an uncle jim scenario, where you have the trust, but its just known in that circle.

That's true, but downside is that would be a very small anon set if users are fractured over thousands of mints

That is also true! Maybe community level?
