it's custodial bitcoin and noncustodial ecash.
This is the part that I think is confusing and tripping people up (or at least me) when thinking about Fedimints, Cashu, and ecash. Good clarification that should be said more often. Thank you
you're doing an atomic swap of bitcoin for ecash
not tryna put words in tony's mouth - but that's my interpretation.
I am but a young girl unschooled in the ways of war, but...
Isn't it that you sold your btc for the mint's ecash and when you go back on chain you have to buy btc with those ecash tokens?
If I use bitcoin to buy dollars from coinbase, I give them btc and they give me dollars. They aren't custodying my bitcoin for me until I ask for them back. Its their btc now.

That's not how banks work.
Right. I'm saying ecash mints might not be banks. They might be more like exchanges.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying but it seems very clear to me:
it's custodial bitcoin and noncustodial ecash.
I thought we were talking about Bitcoin custody: it's custodial Bitcoin.
