Source of funds is probably the attack vector Alex - if it’s just mine then “I do what i want” - but if others pile in then that becomes the attack vector .. which of course OSS the whole benefit of having a gasquillion mints
I mean, imagine if my mint was used for keeping money then used to fund something abhorrent like .. political donations 😳
if I fund the mint but don't host it and others do the same, who's mint is it?
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')
