 The risk to rug is the same between lightning and mint if neither is mine. Privacy is better with mint. I expect semi trusted brands like Alby could adopt mints as a benefit for all. But i would also expect government pressures will make large popular mints difficult, making them always the realm of the shadow people. I want to try running a node, but i hear maintaining a lightning node in good operation is hard complicated work that looses out as a profit maker. I assume these pressures have shaped Alby’s choice in creating the hub, which is not as vulnerable to government pressure?
