yes that is the TRADEOFF. cashu isn't a tool for saving its a tool for spending. every dev I've heard that works with this tool has said it is extremely easy to rug, don't put more than you're willing to lose (smol spending cash).

I recall calle was also working on a mint round Robin to constantly move funds between mints to constantly test their "integrity". not sure where that stands now.

but the beauty of tools is you can choose to use or not use them at your own discretion.

So the tradeoff with lightning would be better UX and privacy at the cost of a rug at any time. Lightning can be pretty private self hosted though. And custodial lightning doesn't have a UX problem. So better UX with a tradeoff for insta rugs doesn't seem like a great trade. As bad as the UX is, I'd still rather deal with it than take that tradeoff. I'll accept cash, but I'm waiting for Ark as a payments solutions for myself.

There's like nothing as far as videos... But there is an SDK in a few languages and it's coming right along. You can check out ark now.
