I just moved a cashu now from one mint I have cashu on to another.

So my understanding is this happened:

That mint exchanged the cashu amount to the BTC amount, sent a Lightning Transaction over the LN network (which may have routed multiple hops), the LN address is that of the receiving mint or? And then I suppose the receiving mint exchanges that back to cashu for the receiving user.

When I wanted to send from my one mint I generated an invoice. I then pasted that in. So the way this feels is more of a "Bob can request 2 cashus from me and because I signed it (I presume, as I generated the invoice) he can redeem it)?

I think I need to understand how the interactions work at each level here.

Ah I have absolutely no idea how inter-mint stuff works.

I'll be curious to see what you find out

I will try my best. I find it fascinating.

I presume though, if a mint goes down that is ruggable. Well, half-ruggable. They can't spend your cashus but you will lose access to them.

Another update. I attempted an inter-mint swap. Idk if it worked.

Update. I had to withdraw some cashus on Minibits mint to a lightning endpoint of the other mint. Then it did a LN transaction on LN network and received in my other mint as cashus.
