>I actually view this as an feature, not a UX bug. This is because the user HOLDS the sats in ecash itself, locally.

wrong. 1000% triple double wrong. the sats are in the mint operator's lightning node. everything in your ecash client is an IOU. they're not real sats. cashu sats aren't bitcoin.

100% agree

I should be more specific; the JSON token IS a Lightning sat IOU. The JSON token is a file that says "so long as you have this JSON file, you can REDEEM said amount of Lightning SATs (NOT a UTXO) from THIS SPECIFIC MINT

& the mint doesn't HAVE TO give you those lightning sats....

Very well known ecash risks.

Thanks for having me clarify.
