While they share the ecash notion, the whole setting up a federation part is just a bigger tech challenge as I understand it. Anyone with tech chops can set up a cashu mint, but it takes a bit of coordinating for a Fedi. You get a lot once its set up though. Its really a cool community app in practice.
Are nostr:npub1uq70uqgas9pyhds2zt57kr9se8rg3s68ztphjnq82ts8rzeknmeql7u0c2 fedimints a thing as yet? It seems like cashu style ecash is so much further along user-wise now
Maybe we don't actually need a bunch of little federations for every community. Just one or two well-resourced Liquid Federation style mints that are widely available
It's sort of what we learned with nostr:npub13ljnkd633c7maxatymv3y2fqq8vt3qk7j3tt0vytv90eztwgha9qmfcfhw where our original vision was trying to help communities setup their own wallets. No-one really wanted that though, everyone just wanted to use the Blink instance, and in the end we mostly ended up working less in stack re-deployability and more on in-instance end-user-facing features
