This e-cash stuff is going to be a lot crazier than we think.

Plebs are going to distribute trust along mints that belong to products and services they already use.

You pay an invoice and the funds come from multiple mints, you can send and receive offline, transactions are cheap and private.

Instead of a fountain wallet, stacker news wallet, primal wallet etc.

They should all be federations added to your mutiny wallet

Set a trust limit to 5k sats per connected federation. When trust threshold exceeds the amount allowed on the mint keep the sats on a spliceable dual funded lightning channel

If the fountain mint rugs me, at least it was only 2k sats......sats that weren't in my custody in the first place. And at least the mint gave me privacy, cheap payments, offline receives, and interoperability benefits that would have been impossible otherwise.

And If I don't trust fountain with 5k sats in 2024, I might as well take my satoshi's elsewhere.
