Improving Bitcoin Privacy with Federated E-Cash Mints - elsirion - Day 2 DEV Track - AB21

Lightning, while being a huge improvement, still has a scaling, privacy and accessibility problem.
Channel management is expensive and tedious, leading to many users choosing custodial services, sacrificing privacy and censorship resistance.

Federated E-Cash Mints on top of Bitcoin and Lightning, based on the anonymous e-cash ideas by David Chaum, solve these problems in two ways:
* Custodianship of the backing funds is distributed over the federation members, preventing censorship and theft by single entities
* User access to funds is granted through anonymous e-cash tokens issued by the federation

This allows for a set of not fully trusted parties (e.g. local community members) to run a semi-custodial, anonymous Lightning wallet service, fully interoperable with everyone else.
