* privacy

Equal, identity is ephemeral keys, and the anonset is the common limiting factor

* centralization

Better, Pub is designed explicitly to be light and easy to run and more p2p aligned where cashu is more client-server aligned

* custody

Better-ish, it's part of a larger stack to bootstrap self-custody and the nevents can function as an audit log. It's equally ruggable, but less fragile without an ECash gateway handling swaps

* immunity from state attack

Equal to better, this is ultimately downstream of centralization. Pub is Uncle Jim tech where mints are institutional tech

* etc?

The more comprehensive stack is to solve a number of issues with lightning tooling, not just throw a shitcoin over it. Pub enables a bi-directional nostr-native successor to lnurl, a performant and reliable alternative to a Bolt12 dystopia, and presents a divergence from flakey and expensive mobile nodes

Pubs design is wholistic, built along side other parts of a comprehensive platform including ShockWallet, LightningVideo, Sanctum, and more to come: shock.network
