Check the updated CashuBTC Round Robin Mint Auditor.
The auditor receives ecash donations and sends random Lightning payments between mints. Forever. The sats go in a circle until all is lost to fees or rugs. If a mint fails to pay, it's marked with a scary red label.
It isn't a guarantee a mint won't rug (at all!), but a good indicator of its reliability over time.
What's interesting about this idea, and why it works so well with the privacy that ecash provides, is that the mint can't tell the auditor apart from a regular user.
This is key! This is what we mean by "a mint can only rug everyone or no one"!
The looks like a regular user trying to make a payment – the mint doesn't know that it's talking to the auditor which would allow it to pretend everything is fine. Note: The auditor frequently changes IP address.
We plan to incorporate this data into Cashu wallets so that users can be warned if they use a fishy mint.
I don't think this is a perfect solution but the fact that a blind custodian can be probed by third parties without being able to tell is fascinating and certainly useful.
Donate ecash from a mint you'd like to add to the list. The auditor will begin probing the mint and compile statistics.

Will there be many independent auditors around? Can I run my own auditor? How do I know that I can trust the data "your" auditor is collecting?
Ouh yes, that's also how I would prefer it! Thanks.
How would I get the individual values of arr1 in the first option?
Great! Will it be FOSS?
Could you please elaborate on this? Do they need to print because Japan cannot afford interest rates that high with such a high dept to GDP level?
Damn that's brutal.
For small reminders of how basic stuff (functions, syntax) in python or kotlin works - stuff I previously needed to google. Also great for instructions about the Linux terminal and bash scripts.
Termux -> tur-repo ollama -> qwen2.5-coder1.5b
works great on my pixel 6
Did you try continue dev? It's free open-source and you can run it locally with self hosted models through ollama.
I believe that I witnessed this as well. But I think that the interpretation of this phenomena should be different. In this case life after death might be the ultimate form of inflation. Devaluing your actual life and in the process you don't care for your health and well being in this life anymore only focusing on what is to come.
What do you think about the opposite that life after death might be the ultimate form of inflation? Devaluing your actual life so that you are willing to give it up for the crown/state/country/etc. to your detriment.
Do people who believe in an afterlife have the ultimate long time horizon (low time preference)?

Shiobi explains it quite well. Starting around minute 31. Listen at least until minute 36.
Ask Genghis Khan what evolution favors.
What do you think of a 2 of 3 multisig wallet both are paying into? The third key is held by someone both trust and agree on. If the husband runs away the moneys goes to the wife. If it turns out that the kids father is not the husband the money goes to the husband. You could also hand the third key to a "notar" and make a contract to spell things out. I believe that such a set up is an additional incentive for a marriage well lived.
It was a nice episode!
