Where groups can openly connect and disconnect and debts can be bought and sold.
Hynek pays for my beers and I give him my IOU (cashu tokens) in return, because we don't share a LN channel. Next time he goes out with my friend Theo who pays the bill. Because Theo trusts me, Hynek can pay him with my IOUs (cashu tokens). Theo has big & fat channel with me and immediately settles the dept by claiming IOUs for LNsats that Ihave issued to Hynek.
And the beat part: we can automate this. When Hynek pays to Theo, the app can figure out, that best (most fee efficient) way is to give my IOUs to Theo, because Theo (his app) will share to Hynek who he trust.
There are technical changes tho. To make this work automagically everyone has to be able to operate good mint (always online). However, there is nice auto-clearing mechanism. If your mint is shit, you lose your cred and noone will accept your IOUs. This can be automated as well.
See, everyone can be theis own bank with Bitcoin, but he'll, can everyone be their own FED?

quoting nevent1q…whv0Another beautiful consequence of verified contacts being able to issue their own Cashu tokens is that it simplifies communication within a Lightning channel factory. Once you have verified contacts with their npub, you can coordinate the construction of a new channel factory and, more importantly, modify the distribution of existing virtual channels within the factory.
You can freeze the state of channels and continue clearing via Cashu tokens. Once the new channel distribution is settled, you can redeem the tokens back through your newly established channels. note1qsr…6awd
