or you could trust a mint and hold your tokens on your hard drive and and then try to spend them when the mint is permanently offline, and they never let you know

meanwhile my alby hub i can restore it with 12 words, and i don't have to run a server or any of that shit, because alby have a hosting service, you know, like a VPS with an app installer

and worst case those coins are stuck in limbo until the other side closes the channel and then i have control again

mint goes down? rugged, bro, rugged

and that's what mints are gonna be all about, rugging, one or two solid ones, and the rest rugs

lightning, on the other hand, at least you will eventually get your sats back
