I really like that concept. I just started learning about Lightning, and it's going to take me a while to get comfortable enough to set up and run a LN node. I really like your new implementation for Zaps, and look forward to being able to use it. The only reason I set up my non-custodial LN with Speed was for use with Nostr, since I don't know any Bitcoiners.

I can imagine in future lightning implemeltations whnch have a cashu node built in, for the purpose of minting ecash tokens and sending them out as donations, to be redeemed later by the recipient.

One of the biggest advantage of lightning /ecash custodial to regular Fiat custodial is the ease and speed at which funds can be easily moved. Mints who attempt to rug users would be exposed quickly. Just as lightning has watch towers, I imagine something similar would exist for the vast majority of popular mints
