Are you saying I should manage my mints actively and add more than one mint? Will that improve privacy and performance on zapping?

It will reduce the chances of you being rug pulled by the mint operator and lose all your sats at once.

Just added another mint based on the reviews found here: https://cashumints.space/all-mints/

Currently, the minibits mint seems to be the mosts popular / trustworthy. Is there a similar popular mint available somewhere else?

I trust no one with large sat amounts. I'm playing around with a few hundred mainnet sats on a few cashu mints and a few fedimints.

I'm also playing with larger amounts on testnet and segnet, and I'm planning to set up my own Fedi federation and my own Cashu mint on test net to play around and teach some family members before setting them up with mainnet sats in a couple of years...

Sane approach. Appreciate.

I've just installed Minibits and fund it, but dont understand whats the mechanic or implications in the background.

Few years ago I listened Lunaticoin episode on ecash and Cashu. Do you know any podcast update (in Spanish) or any extended article on that topic?

I remember it vividly. That was the first podcast about Cashu, a week or two after the initial publication. Luna is a legend.

how can I make sure the mint who's operator i don't know won't rekt me?

You can't.

i know, i got rekt by several mints. now that i only trust one mint who's operator i know for sure.

so it's become a chicken or egg situation for ecash adoption.

I didn't hear if mint rugs yet, can you tell us? Only incident I'm aware of is the early LNbits debacle (they got hacked and rugged and then disabled all Cashu mints).

LNbits was one, unfortunately out of hack.

the other one is eNuts as far as I can recall, I sent a note very long time ago about it, small accidents later on I didn't keep track of them.

If it can be done, I'll be done, no doubt.

Some will probably do.

Ask a technical friend you trust to run one, that would be the best!

What about coinos?

Omg they also do NWC? They also h

Run a mint.

How based can a company be...

Yes i use them, because minibits required me to open the app in order for the zaps to go through

What if I zap from my own lightning node? My channels are private. My node is behind TOR and VPN, my device also. Where is the gap?

I can partially answer myself: it’s Alby which knows everything.

But if I don’t use Alby? Just direct connect to my node?

Your own node is King 👑
