With white listing addresses, will they send to a new address each time?

Fair enough.

Thanks for the detailed response.

So that sounds like a maximum rug of 1000 sats if a mint were to disappear.

Too much to lose?

Was that the default LNbits mint for testing? I think they gave about 6 months warning (if I remember correctly).

fair...

How about "non-anonymous" liquid? They have something similar. Are they just not big enough yet?

For me it is an ideal to have your own sovereign LN node running at home. I'd like to see more stability in LN before I try that again though.

I don't see the problem of keeping a few 1000 sats in a mint for small payments for the time being. Saying losing 1 sat is too much is a bit dramatic IMO. You just paid 1 sat to post this msg!

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm saying that this way you don't need to put up a lot of capital, that's all. You can put a small amount even 100 sats. Its pretty much like a custodial LN wallet but has privacy improvements.

Fair.

So a mint that has been around for 1 year? 2?

If you've had channels closed from BRC sh$tcoiners spiking base layer fees you would have lost a lot more than 1000 sats.

No one likes losing sats, buy losing 1000 sats is not too bad at this point in time.

Let's say you use LND instead. You need large channels and you should have more than one. If one of these channels gets closed because of retards spiking fees on chain you will lose a lot more than 1000 sats. Your channel partner might decide that it's time to close down the channel and you could pay more than 1000 sats too.

Using ecash for small amounts is a good option for small payments IMO.

I'm using Albyhub, but I'm interested to know what is running in the background. Albyhub is a great interface but each back end option gives the user a different experience.

Too bad there weren't many votes

Plenty of info in the Articles section.

I haven't heard of a few of these.

I guess the answer is Ledger but only because they kept their sales data and it got hacked. There's also all the sh$tcoins they support which could put the Bitcoin wallet as a lower priority.

I don't really know though. They're the biggest HWW and would have a lot to lose if it weren't secure.

There's plenty of info about that. This is just a simple poll on the topic.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm currently using cashu on the back end of Albyhub and its having some issues. When a payment doesn't work I immediately remember that this could get rugged at any time so I shouldn't leave too many sats in there. For me the threshold is around 5000 sats. When I get more than that, I withdraw to my LN wallet keeping between 1-3k in ecash to use for zapping, posts, polls and comments. But that's just me. Some people might be comfortable leaving more in an ecash wallet. This poll is to find out.

I think you know what I meant. Under 1000 sats is not like stashing sats. Its for spending and receiving small amounts. I'm not asking people to store their sats in ecash. Ecash is NOT bitcoin.

You show a few different ways to use Albyhub. You go through each option and one of them is cashu.

You don't remember?

Similar to custodial LN wallets but better privacy

Why did you make a guide to link cashu to Albyhub then?

No, it wasn't a close friend. I met him a couple of times, then he invited me to his going away party. That's where we were introduced

Ahh, I see you!
