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:nprofile1qqsglefmxagcu0d7nw4jdkgj9ysqrk9cst0fg44hkz9kzhu39hyt7jspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp06t72j0 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

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.

Thanks for sharing your learnings! Right now there are couple of public federations that people can use, and we're working to make it technically simple & cost-effective for anyone to set up their own federation.

Ultimately, we want to give users the option to either use public federations or run their own. Preferences will vary, and every model has its trade-offs, but there is strength in numbers.
