Love the web based and quick innovation on the cashu stuff. One question that is important and something that'll come up with some of my projects is the fact that these are IP based and not TOR.
The benefits of receive funds and then spend without being tied back to the original funds is kind of lost when it comes to the fact that the same IP address is being used, right? Is that being solved at all here with the communication back to the mints?
Maybe a warning that the webpage should be used in a tor browser in order to get the anonymous functionality users are expecting here?
I think what you said is valid. The mint could basically doxx users that are connecting with their IP. But then again, if you're trying to maximize privacy/anonymity , you would probably already be using something like a proxy/vpn/tor
Maybe building it into the protocol is an option, but for now, it's the users responsibility to connect over a proxy
