It's a nice wallet, but they screw it with using Liquid crap as ramp for LN. Instead they should use a temporary cashu mint.
And because of Liquid I do not use it.
The only issue I have with cashu is that you need a really good mint and client. According to my cashu PWA, I still have a 138 sats npub.cash sourced nut pending (for a couple of weeks now) that I cannot clear with minibits, which is why:
I need to find a better cashu client
I may need to find a better mint / nostr gateway
Once I get time to look into this, I will continue my quest for testing a micro-orange-pilling strategy, because the Cashu -> LN -> L1 funnel still feels extremely powerful.
is not really necessary to run a mint for more people (uncle Jim scenario). You can run it only for yourself (not promoted) and for your family or maximum 1-2 friends.

This! I'd absolutely not promote it.
Think about this scenario I described
Your guide is awesome and was one of the sources that helped me further shape my idea on how to approach orange pilling with cashu. I'll re-read it today.
Secure service operation is super important to me, so where someone else may yolo in and accidentally rug everyone like is the trend on those hyped custodial services you see on nostr and here, I'd personally need to do a lot more work before I'd onboard anyone, even if it were only my sister, because I can't control what else anyone would use the mint for.
