 To be honest this feels exactly like everyone trying to integrate NFTs. Or AI. 

 Maybe a little bit of "we like this hammer, hit everything like like it's a nail" going on.  Not to say I don't think it's a good hammer, cause I believe it is.  But still... not everything is a nail. 

 it really isn’t a good hammer either for 50% of things

to be honest, the cashu protocol has been having the same issues with incompetent design as with some nostr NIPs 

 It's called experimentation.  

 For it to be experimentation you first need to evaluate if it could work in theory before in practice.

Instead this is just trying random useless shit for the sake of it. 

 Who runs the node(s) backing the mints? This is the more important question users need to consider. 

 Exactly. That is the question. I think the question can be collapsed to which npub(s) to trust whether for posts and/or tokens(ecash) 

 too much overhead to be a default, but it could be an opt-in feature. you could pick any participating npub as your ecash bank 

 nut sack appears to working towards relays having the option to be mints
