If you donāt know if you can trust the mint, you canāt trust the mint.
Thatās the point.
2 options.
1) Find one you can trust with people you know.
2) start one (then itās self custody bonus) and share with people you trust.
Discussion
heās a concern troll
Who, me? The guy who crash tests every wallet I can get my hands on with real sats (and sometimes loses them) so I can help other people not lose theirs? Sorry for looking out for new users, but thatās not gonna stop. People ask me questions and I try to find answers.
i don't know what has gotten into calle lately. also the note he quoted of yours is such a non-troll note... you gave a positive review of three mints š
False, Dan is a real one. Heās tests a ton of new wallets and software. Helps run and support or of the largest group of node operators Iāve found, for free. Heās told you where he actually lost Cashu nuts and yet all you can do is still call him a troll wtf?
All I can say is if youāre new here, remember: If you Donāt understand and canāt verify. Donāt trust.
Keep asking for help. Thereās people out there like Dan that can help. Instead of calling you a troll.
no calle. i met him on a sidewalk in nyc and we chatted and he was a good communicator and educator and it was clear as day to me at the time that he cared deeply and was earnestly enthused.
as far as im concerned: if he is not an asset no one is. a lot of time, dedication, and hard work.
I can only give my honest account. People who come to our meetups have practical questions about literally every topic you can imagine, and I try to find answers for them. Itās part of the learning process.
Integrity is everything.
Don't trust, verify.
Making it about me doesnāt fix the inherent problems. Iām sure youād much rather face these questions now when Cashu sill has a tiny user base rather than waiting until there a billion users trying to onboard. And I donāt believe Iāve heard anything about how mint capacity (not to mention trust) scales to meet that level of use.
But thatās the problem with cashu you have to trust it and you canāt verify it
yes, it's custodial
Make mints available to be audited, force them to show proof of reserves or something at leastā¦
weāre open to contributions
i have no idea what we are talking about so i am recusing myself, only hopped on re: daniel, will say using the word "force" in any context is pretty not great tho
Thanks nostr:npub1uc4degsu7erzezp50h4nwkwxgccqql9gmaxe6mmqj70evfldtycs7cwdjc, appreciate the kind words! š„°
