 isnt a trusted third party involved in ecash, the mint? and cant the mint create more ecash tokens than they hold satoshis? 
 the idea is to select people you know and trust as guardians of the federation, so called 2nd party custody model. The mint could issue unbacked by bitcoin tokens but that can be done if 2/3 of the guardians are ok with it 
 thanks for your answer. to me that is peak retardation, there is nothing left of why i got into bitcoin in the first place.  A coin with no privacy, no decentralization, trusted third parties everywhere and now not even a fixed supply.  total degeneration.  
 Yes it is, same as the Alby wallet you have for your Zaps / Lightning address. 
 thanks! to me that is a pretty bad development.  anti bitcoin,  anti freedom, anti decentralization. what we have now is paypal on bitcoin  as soon as the gov goes against wallet providers, game over 
 Why are you not self hosting your zap / lightning address? 
 i do. that is why i can tell you it is a pain in the ass  
 if you mean the nostr zap address, correct me if i am wrong but at the moment that is not working with self hosted lightning wallets.
