Yes.

Out where?

How'd you create that link?

I signed with an extension.

You must have a fascinating browser history.

He used a security method called a password the spokesperson said.

Apart from pointing out the obvious risks with custodial wallets, do you have any original insights? Do you have anything at all to add that hasn't already been said a million times before?

Do you crusade against all custodial wallets? Do you warn people about the risks of using WoS or Alby? What about Primal building a custodial wallet in their nostr client that's on by default? You must have been outraged by that? Compared to people choosing to use a mint, having a custodial solution thrust upon them must enrage you?

I'm sure you've made hundreds of posts before warning people about all of the evil custodial wallet providers waiting to rug pull everyone that dares to use them.

> We just need to make everyone aware of the custodial part.

I've already committed a whole five bucks worth of Bitcoin to CashU mints.

If I could zap that directly in Amethyst, as much as I like the minibits wallet I've been using, my lazy arse would definitely be using Amethyst CashU zaps. Saves a click. Saves a few seconds of my time. Instant recovery just by using my nsec, no need for seeds. Simple. I like simple.

I still use legacy banking because paying my bills online is easier than getting in the car and driving to pay cash.

Sometimes, a little bit of custodial can more useful than the risk of losses for lazy arsed people like me that are willing to take the risk.

You can't even follow simple instructions and setup your nostr profile correctly. You shouldn't be giving any advice on technology ever.

But, that's not what centralized means though.

I guess you've never come across the concept of custodial wallets before.

Strike, Wallet of Satochi, Cash App, Alby, Primal, these are all custodial wallets that if they go down, or get seized by the government, your Bitcoin is gone

So, what exactly is the point you're trying to make? That custodial wallets run the risk of being rug pulled or seized?

You're a bit late to the party with your ground breaking news. That fact is well understood by everyone. Well, except you it seems. You don't even know what centralized means. Wallet of Satochi is centralized. Alby is centralized.

Liquid, Mutiny and CashU use a federated server model precisely so they are federated and not centralized like Alby, WoS, Strike etc. By using federated severs across many countries, it greatly diminishes the risk of rug pulls and government seizures.

What does that have to do with what I asked? I asked what you mean by centralized?

Centralized?

It is genocide by its very definition no matter how much you personally want to deny it.

Every Nazi hanged at Nuremberg denied the genocide charges too. They were still hung by the neck until they were dead.

In the Republican party.

There's no mint to mint transfers in any way. Mints don't communicate with other mints, ever. Mints don't care if another mints tokens are valid or not.

Mints only do two things. They mint tokens after receiving a lightning payment. They melt tokens after paying a lightning invoice. The mint doesn't care where the lightning invoice has come from. And the mint isn't actually paying the invoice, the lightning node providing the collateral does. The mint only gets confirmation that the invoice has been paid, then it melts the tokens.

It doesn't matter to the mint if the lightning invoice you give it to pay is from bitrefill or another mint. It's just a lightning invoice, nothing more.

It also doesn't matter to the mint what you do with the tokens, it doesn't track them. The mint only knows if they've been redeemed, not who redeemed them.

When you redeem an ecash token, the mint just confirms that the tokens are valid, it doesn't know who they came from. Whereas a lightning payment, always discloses the node ID where the payment came from.

Not just anonymity, no authentication system. Ecash is the only way to transfer Bitcoin value, with no record of the transfer taking place.

You can't transfer Bitcoin on-chain if you can't connect to the network to broadcast your transactions to miners. You can't transfer Bitcoin via lightning unless your node can connect to my node either directly or routing via other nodes.

You can transfer ecash to me via nostr, email, homing pigeon, Morse code, and I think someone has even done it using sound over a meshtastic network.
