 what is this thing you call "melting"

that sounds like, totally fiat 
 Yeah when you cash out it’s called melting when you cash in it’s called mint. It makes everything much more confuse than it really is.

Cash in => mint => from lightning 
Cash out => melt => to lightning

That is how I get it at least 
 Maybe 'de-mint' could be better 
 interesting way of thinking.

i think i would generally use "redeem" to lightning
