Left curve is the correct but simple answer.

The mint trust is only for rug risk, not for privacy.

Please describe a correlation that would happen with mint logging? Assume I'm using Mullvad + TOR.

And yea, no shit bitcoin layer 1 is hard to do privately. That does make cashu less private. They're separate protocols.

The fact that the mint has the capacity to log Cashu users through things like timestamps can be used to determine what time zone a person is in and therefore their location, present an identifiability threat. It's a good thing so many people are smart enough to use some kind of protection with these kinds of applications.

Also, how is Cashu a separate protocol if it's built from Lightning and used for Bitcoin? It's a L3 application. That's like saying that BTC on-chain and BTC on the LN are separate protocols.
