in my comments above I am attributing ownership of the mint to the individual running the mint; would seem unlikely that people are going to run mints and not have ecash minted by them (but I guess it's possible)

Clearly a mint can have vast numbers of users holding eCash on it .. I wouldn't ascribe ownership to them (depositors?) but am curious how you see that group as having a claim on ownership?

Just reading this again. It was late and I had wires twisted.

I don't mean depositors necessarily. I mean that different wallets or users could collaborate to run an ecash mint with each of them holding a proportion of the mint's deposits

Assuming we're still talking about Cashu ecash, then there's a single mint operator (both a strength and a weakness) so multiple users could each run a mint, or use multiple mints, but I'm unclear what you're meaning by "holding a proportion of the mint's deposits" .. which is pretty much what a mint user does (assuming the mint is 'honest')
