I wouldn't call it pathetic. I'd say it makes sense considering how young the federation is. I pointed it out because you were using that list to imply buy-in/decentralization/trustlessness.

I'm interested in trying to figure out wtf is going on ... which is hard to do when the definition of "self-custody" is extended to encompass things like:

1. ecash
2. a tiny federation where you must trust one member ... with practically infeasible unilateral exit promises^[1]
3. bitcoin wrapping assets

1. context is me trying to implement recovery snapshots when receiving payments (customer and their mnemonic are offline ... yet I somehow need to auth as the customer to create a snapshot else lose ability to recover) ↩
