I've built a thing: The Cashu mint Round Robin auditor An app that perpetually monitors a list of mints by randomly sending Lightning payments between them. Forever. The sats go in a circle until all is lost to fees or rugs. If a mint fails to pay an invoice, it is marked with a scary red label. You can donate Ecash from any mint to add it to the list of audited mints! https://audit.8333.space image

I wanna say @Mysterious Hamster mint is amazing but it seems like they don't like Tor so their mint isn't reachable by this tool. Maybe something they'd reconsider?

Sounds like a good idea Could someone just start a mint to steal the sats? Then do it over and over again?
do you need to fund the app so it has enough to pay routing fees or somethign?

This is very cool! I'm curious if the length of time between deposit and withdrawal can be gamed on the mint side. Are the durations random? If a mint can accurately predict which payments are part of the round robin they could feasibly protect against that while still running a ponzi on users.

I'd probably get more sats saying GM on nostr. It would be easier too

Was this in the sov individual?
I don’t get it. Could someone explain what minting is and what the purpose of the thing here is?
🫑 EXCELLENT

This is interesting, and a great tool for finding reliable mints! I would hesitate to call it an auditor, though, since it isn't really confirming that the mint has enough sats to back all the tokens it has issued. It's only really confirming that the mint is online and honoring Lightning invoices, right? It's more like nostr.watch, but for eCash mints, if I understand it correctly.

Amazing! Integrate that into your eCash wallet in real time and that shit goes nuclear 🀯🧑
Awesome idea! Could you implement a voluntary feature within mints that collects a small fee that is then perpetually aggregated to keep this going without interventions/donations?
Would the mints be able to tell that it’s an auditors txn and pay it to get the all ok ?

Sorry... but what's Cashu? A lightning app as you send lightning?
This is a cool and useful app. It would be great if mint operators could get more details about why their mint is flagged red. I now manually tried a few swaps to other mints on the list, which all worked flawlessly. Still, https://mint.mountainlake.io is listed as red. I am not complaining, but if I run a mint, I might as well do it properly.
