the mint is holding keys for the bitcoin backing everything. there can be no guarantee. But there can be trade offs. Only running "the right" code is helpful, but really it comes down to trust and risk appetite. I deposit very small amounts in some Cashu mints just to experiment, because I don't trust it enough with larger amounts.
no. some might disagree depending on your terminology. It's privacy preserving 1:1 bitcoin IOUs in a federation model. imho, that's not the coolest part though, it's the module system that enable you to have small consensus of servers on arbitrary data.
Trust nothing. The trust is based on the relationship between users and the fedimint guardians aka node runners. See here for a more technical answer about proof of liabilities: https://gist.github.com/callebtc/ed5228d1d8cbaade0104db5d1cf63939
Setup is a bit of work. Running is like any other server. Complexity to run is simple but early. Early stages for most users on the Fedimint side.
#Cashu is one #ecash implementation. #Fedimint (what i work on part time), is a different implementation. Cashu is much more mature in its UI/UX so you're more likely to have encountered it. Especially here on nostr.
I don't work at Fedi but that's probably the app. Fedimint the open source project just hit versioned release at v0.1.2. Very new but has been in development for a long time. Fedimint is modular as well so not just bitcoin ecash. Working on making the Fedimint have an npub myself (very slowly).
hi nostr.
I'm working on fedimint (thnx nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9rusppamhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwgq3samnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwdhx7un59eek7cmfv9kqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcp2shpv ) and have general interest in ecash.
if you don't know what that means, what's your most pressing question? if you do, when was the last time you've checked in on the space? It's quite interesting.

Any time to ponder on who might be a good help for this?
It was some svg with wavy thicc lines.
Why not just further divide the existing coins? More numerically but you're not diluting the % of the whole that people own.
only somewhat. I do think ecash should have a specific symbol/emoji.

Where did you derive you icon from?
Deployed some stuff just now to Snort
Propper long form rendering & publishing status when sending notes to relays.

You can also try to send the event again if it was not accepted or you can delete the relay from your relay list, hopefully this will make people more aware of relays which are down or are not accepting their events and make peoples relay lists cleaner over time.
How’s my PR looking?
Ecash is just data. It can be shoved into almost application without major refactoring. I look forward to games build around ecash mints.
Fedimint modules could enable swaps points. 🫣
Is this thing on?
