ciori on Nostr: I might not have the ability to properly view each pro and con since I am not that ...

I might not have the ability to properly view each pro and con since I am not that technical into cashu and LN low level details and for sure you make some good points, but I still have some questions/doubts:
- Aren't people connecting with shockwallet to a Lightning.Pub node effectively using a custodial service? More trusted for sure if they use a friend or family one, but still custodial right? So in this case isn't using a cashu mint as a base adding only benefits? You still need to trust the node not to "rug pull" the LN liquidity right? Which is the "same" with a cashu mint or am I missing something? (A part from the added technical layer obviously)
- So if I am understanding right, under the hood you basically have "multiple keys for each user" so it would be problematic to add whitelisting (please "explain like I am 5" if not 😅 ) and it will negate the benefits of it. Then again the anonymity set is usually low in uncle jim nodes, so almost perfect privacy of cashu mints is not that perfect and not that almost 🤣 .

So basically you say that the Lightning.Pub implementation is actually more private (for this kind of use case) and simpler (less technical layers)?

Hope I am understanding right.
