What is risky about lightning? The risk that payments will fail? Lol
Run a Lightning node and you'll see ;)
What is the risk there that doesn’t exist with running my own ecash mint?
That's not what's compared here
So you’re being misleading on purpose? Why not just be straight forward? This isn’t twitter where you need to bait people for engagement
First of all, I don't like your tone. Second, your argument doesn't even make sense, Ecash is labeled as high risk. Third, the risk of running a mint is completely separate from using a mint.
