A few issues that I think will prevent that:

1. Running a mint that serves DNM users is a great way to end up in jail, so you can't base it on public rep

2. Trust issues are core to DNM operation, so trusting a custodian blindly is very much a no-go in most situations

3. It's always easier to just use Monero which removes custodian risk

Tech is much more interesting for community custody or similar where the custodians can be known and trusted by the users and have a vested interest in not rug pulling.

1- Mint after tor, no more dangerous than running "candy" stores after tor.

2- federated mints so as not to rely on a single entity.

I don't care so much about DNMs but everything that give you a "balance" today will benefit from ecash.

Community custody: completely different application.

Does stacker news have a vested interest in rugpulling their users? Or your VPN provider where you top up your credit?
