Just made a post about this ironically before reading this. Didnt say I was not dealing with my own shitty situation right now.

The issue for me has been finding the right lightning wallet which works for the Linux desktop without a high sats requirement.

I got rugged by an Alby Hub bug out of thousands of sats.

Got rugged by 2 cryptocurrency exchanges. Thank goodness they were all shitcoins.

Experimenting with Misty Breez for mobile. Which so far so good.

Cashu is just a new form of banking giving custody over a currency which was designed to replace the need for trusting other people with your money in the first place.

Self custody should be the only logical option for bitcoiners. I would not mind running my own cashu mint, but have no idea how to do that reliably, or safely.

The whole point is that your bitcoin in the custody of anyone else IS a shitty situation to be in.
