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.
correct me if I am wrong:
1. why would I run a cashu mint node (receiving ecash as fee) instead of a lightning node (receiving btc as fee)? Assume the lightining node is behind TOR an/or VPN
2. where does the BTC fee that I would receive running a lightining node go? If that's not a thing, how does it work (minting ecash should be possible at some cost, right?)?any specific doc?
1. because you want ecash? it's offline capabale. the data is the asset. You can receive it on a piece of paper. you don't want to manage liquidity. you don't want the latency of VPN/TOR. you have a service where you already custody users funds and want to provide a different privacy trade off.
2. I have no idea. For Fedimint, someone else can run the lightning node for you and the fee is configurable. For Cashu, I've never run a mint.
