I saw that mutiny no longer lists federations and you need to manually discover them if you want to add one.
I know that some time ago there was a problem with their freedom one mint so maybe this is related.
My question is how do you really discover federations? I know about https://bitcoinmints.com/, but there is almost no information about each mint. Who runs it? How many guardians does it have? How long has it been up? Discussion about is it reliable and trustworthy? I also can't really find anywhere anyone discussing individual federations. Is there such a place?
I know that you are supposed to personally know the guardians, but is this really the common use case today?
I tried joining a couple but no luck. It seems like many are not accepting new members
I can tell you three you can join successfully, but I won't since as I have said there is currently no way to discover anything about a specific mint. No way to know how long it's been online, how many bitcoin it has, how many guardians it has, who are the guardians and so forth.
looks like we have the same case, I can't join either, it seems limited, I want to try it.
i'm hopeful they will add a directory back again so that their lightning addresses can work again
Ecash tech is "cool", but not "good enough" to resist nation-state bullies from calling you names like "unlicensed money transmitter" and "unlicensed money service business".
What is?
If someone else can lose "your" money (or the money which backs your eCash IOUs), its not good enough to avoid regulation.
What is good enough to resist nation-state bullies from calling you names like "unlicensed money transmitter" and "unlicensed money service business"?
Didn't one of the mints face issues technically a few months back with Mutiny Fediments? How has that progressed?
I have no idea. And also i don't know why nobody is giving updates on it.
Can we not create our own Fedimints? It would be nice to have a SN Fed?
This sounds like a great use case.
Using one's SN reputation prompt a Fedimint
here seems like a good place, who's using what mint?

When I first used mutiny, my issue was how can I trust any of the federation from the list when you don't know anything about them.
This is a real issue that I have no idea why this is the case. There is no info about any federation anywhere.
Just use non custodial Lightning Valet for Android.

Mutiny wallet is great, Fedimint is not, imo. I find Fedimint complicating every-bitcoin rather that simplifying things. People should be educated to know more about Bitcoin as a self-sovereign tool rather than trying to create communities of what? I don't know. I find it hard to really understand what Fedimint is all about. Sorry.
Fedimint is a scaling solution for bitcoin.
If somebody super smart manages to find a way to do 2. without sacrificing custody, I am all for it and will be happy. But currently this is not the case and we all need to accept the reality.
P.S. Why do you say "Sorry" at the end?
To be honest, I've not yet took time to learn Fedimint because of the negative picture I have about the project. But with your above explanation, I'll my best to study it. Thanks a lot.
