The mint can set any amount it wants i guess to redeem. This is just another way they can scam ya.

This is true. Hopefully any mints not being straightforward about this won’t be used / will get called out.
Wallet of Satoshi could have done this too.
I wouldn't rush to blame the mint without more info. Sounds like a lightning wallet setup issue.
Don't use eNuts it isn't maintained. Use cashu.me or nostr:nprofile1qqstxwlea9ah3u6kjjszu6a7lrnhqkfh8eptp2z6v0e9558tlkkl2rgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshszxnhwden5te0wfjkccte9ekkjmnfvf5hguewvdshx6p07xr4s5 . Sounds like you are trying to open a channel with the token. Cashu doesn't take fees to redeem. There are fees to send a lightning transaction however.
