As always Mutiny team keeps on knocking it out of the park. Great Job
Title doesn't mention it but also federations to helping with lightning address is in the article.
Instead of creating a hodl invoice, we can use a regular invoice from a user's configured federation. A lightning gateway for that federation will be running 24/7 to settle the payment instantly and in an atomic way. Our LNURL Address server, called Blinded-Hermes, will create an ecash contract that spends to a pubkey-locked ecash note. We use the user's registered pubkey for this. Once the lightning gateway processes the payment, the federation will complete the contract and provide the user with the new ecash.

Those words sound cool but I have no idea what that means.

Both federated lightning addresses and our blinded authentication scheme have been a great success since we launched it last month.
Congratulations for it.

Great! Can we make it a bit simpler. I mean — can we just have a tutorial how to do everything?

The article was a deep dive into the technical details.
Besides joining a federation there is nothing an regular user needs to know about

Mutiny question: when sending or receiving , how do I select the source, lighting channel or federation?

My answer is just based on my testing and maybe I am missing something
It looks like you can not currently pick and It appears it priorities sending the eSats (federation) first.

Same experience for me
I thought I was missing a feature or something

That's correct. It also helps with the receiver offline issue in general, so we prioritize that. You can always swap to your lightning channel at any time after receiving payments.

Tony, you have probably address this else where but what determines what federations appear in Muntiny?
I only see a couple at the moment, how does one add their Federation?

It's a nostr based discovery protocol for mints. You can independently view / list mints on https://bitcoinmints.com/ and it's interoperable with how Mutiny is pulling them in too.
