Ya good point. I appreciate that Freedom One tells you upfront when the federation will expire (at least on Mutiny Wallet, idk about Fedi). That way our normie friends know, "you have this much time to get your act together, and educate yourself on self custody." Dead lines are excellent catalysts for change/self improvement.
I’m a big fan of federations with explicit expiration dates. I really hope this becomes normalized behavior by mints and users of mints.
It does bring up all sorts of interesting convention points around how to ethically and/or legally turn off a mint. Should deposits to the mint be turned off days/months/years before its shutdown? How many days/months/years should users of a mint be given notice before shutting down? Etc, etc
Excellent points I've never even considered! Stoked to see how this all plays out
