Which form of custody is better?

Fedimints vs one custodian?

Asking because I’m debating internally, and comparing Mutiny with Wallet of Satoshi.

In terms of UI WoS is better but I understand the trade off. How complicated is it to spin up a federation for a non-tech user to make the argument of “don’t trust a bunch of random people, trust ME and a bunch of others I trust” more palatable?

Is it just better to encourage people to run their own lightning node?

Tradeoffs. You get way better privacy and censorship resistance with Fedimint. WoS is easier, although I'd argue Mutiny/Fedi are catching up.

I tend to agree.

So far my only “gripe” with Mutiny (not even a gripe) is UI.

Tbh, if the deployment is a fraction as fast as what happened with Nostr in 1.5 years this is extremely bullish to only have this gripe.

Indeed. WoS' days of being "the best lighting UX" are numbered.
