hi nostr.
I'm working on fedimint (thnx nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9rusppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcp2shpv ) and have general interest in ecash.
if you don't know what that means, what's your most pressing question? if you do, when was the last time you've checked in on the space? It's quite interesting.
Unclear on the relationship between fedimint and ecash.
I listened to some pods about fedimint and feel positively toward it because we need better on ramps/custody solutions- although 2of3 multisigs seem to be moving much more quickly in that space.
The history of ecash is cool but honestly learning the tech stack for what seems like a totally different system is 🥲
Fedimint is a federation ecash system (and can be much more since it's modular). Cashu is a non-federated ecash system. Both take in bitcoin and issue ecash notes. These ecash notes are 1:1 IOUs for bitcoin but use blinded signatures by the mint to preserve privacy. They also use LN for interoperability between other bitcoin projects/wallets/etc.
happy to go further if this wasn't detailed enough.
