Thank you for all your great work calle!
I have a question about cashu:
Since the mint is like the centerpiece, where the users can redeem their cashu tokens, it seems like a single point of failure. Is there a good strategy to implement redundancy? Could one run multiple instances of the 'same' mint?
I guess what i'm asking is, does the mint have a state that would need to be shared between instances? If yes, what would be a good way to do that?
I watched your presentation on cashu, it was really good, and easily understandable for a chaumian ecash newbie.
Also, cool outfit!
Hi! Yes, redundancy can be implemented quite easily. The mint has only one state which is the list of tokens it has seen in the past. You can have many mints (who MUST trust each other) accessing the same database of seen tokens, that way you can add redundancy very cheaply.
