Yes I’ve watched a few talks by Eric and obi on fedimint. And think it’s crucial to broad adoption but I have no clue how to set up a mint and if I did look into it don’t really have a community to build and share / use the mint with. Any ideas for grass roots use cases?

Also what’s the difference between fedimint and cashu?

Main difference is Fedimint is federated, whereas Cashu mint are single-sig.

I was minting and sending to #[5] and to you actually the other evening .. first one went through fine to Ben, but the rest were generating about 8-10 pop-ups from nos2x each having different data in them and each wanting me to authorize.. anyone else had that issue?

Ah cool, so cashu is

custodial/single sig

And

Fedi is distributed custody/multi sig

Would it be possible to set up a cashu mint per transaction. E.g. Alice creates a mint to send cash privately to bob who then pegs out to lightning leaving the mint empty.

Is that a possible use case?

Your example is not really a use case, the privacy properties come from the size of the anonymity set.
