Are single-user non-custodial cashu mints punished in an ecash world? If i were to run a mint because i want to still do self-custody lightning, would people even accept willbucks zaps? How does that work.

Seems to me like there'd be no difference between single- and multi-user mints. As long as you're running an implementation of the cashu protocol then you're sending/receiving tokens denominated in bitcoin that can be redeemed for real sats on lightning.

Somewhat. There is high degree of trust when it comes to mints as rugpulls can happen. You do have to trust the mint in a world where we say "don't trust, verify!". Might work at home but I wonder if this would survive more adversary scenarios.

Sure. My point was that functionally running a mint for yourself or for yourself and others is the same. The trust comes in whenever someone wants to use a mint they don't operate. You probably don't have to worry about rugpulls if you're running a mint only for yourself.
