 Is there any money to be made in running a cashu mint? 

I suppose not because then everyone would do it

 Yeah. The lightning channels can be configured to take a fee on each deposit and withdraw. That's an honest way.

One could also rugpull after running a mint for awhile by turning off their mint and taking all the SATs in the lightning channels. So, be careful which mints you trust!
