> I really hope cashu is the answer
The answer to what?
I think cashu is great for small amounts that you're okay with losing
It can maybe also serve a useful purpose as some sort of modern mixer, still thinking about that though

Especially if we are able to minimize impact from custodial solutions. Federation is great but I don't know many people running a lightning node... so building a community that is trusted and technically skilled is hard. It should be possible to achieve privacy even if you are using custodial backends. Could maybe bolt12 help with that?

Privacy... In my opinion it is digital cash, although it is currently a custodial solution. If we find a way to implement #cashu within lightning itself, it's unstoppable. We don't need to make custodians obsolete, we just need to make it hard or impossible to analyze our transactions.
