I agree with everything you say. I just think that River link https://river.com/river-link, for example, is a much more appropriate solution, while Cashu serves as a distraction. Aside from being technically impressive and complex, it misses the point. By the way, nostr:nprofile1qqswq087qywczsjtkc9p960tpjcvn35gcdr39smefsr49cr33vmfauspzdmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82c30qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvme0v4fyhk are excellent and the right approach to using mints because they are, by design, distributed. The entire product is built in a way that clearly defines the trust involved and the social aspects of the mint guardians, extending into the physical world. Cashu is a distraction because it creates a lot of noise and shifts attention away from Fedimints and genuine solutions like River link.

Thanks for sharing. First time I hear from river link. I read the page but did not get every relevant info here. Do I have to do KYC to send river links?

Do I need an river account or a wallet on river to send river links? If yes, is the river wallet self custody?

I guess the wallet is custodied by river and thats why they can handle every wallet address (lightning/onchain) you want to send Bitcoin to.

But now I get your point about distraction. You are right, some topics get too much attention while other good stuff is pushed into the shadows.

I mentioned River Link because it is also custodial like Cashu. They are very different solutions technically, but I think River is a much better option for orange-pilling "normies." The tradeoff is that you do get KYC'ed for their proof of reserves, so the chances of getting rug-pulled are much, much lower.
