KYM (Know Your Mint) is an idea I tossed out about combining data sources from Bitcoinmints and a Cashu auditor. Egge pulled out his laptop and started building it right there in the middle of the talk. Real shipper behavior. View quoted note β†’

Mint rating doesn’t make much sense to me. What is important: -have there been rugpulls to date -how long is the mint operating for -who is the owner, if known -who in my web of trust uses this mint, and/or has recommended it
I always expected rug pulls and can't understand why not more wallet apps rug pull. It could happen because the operator does it or because a disgruntled engineer does it or a hacker manages to implant a backdoor or ... and still, most wallets keep most of the funds safe most of the time. I would however expect a setup for a rug pull if there were aggressive marketing and anonymous custodians. And mints are kind of designed to be run pseudonymously, so I would ask, who can help me sue them if they rug pull but ideally I would not promote mints at all. Let's break the network effect. Let users form small mints and help them with the tools to do so. Uncle Jim model for the win!
