The mint is effectively custodial lightning. Anyone telling you otherwise is arguing semantics. The details are mostly in the implementation and the bank scenario is essentially same as what Alby does.
The reason the available mints are a feasible implementation for the Podcast Index (and other businesses) is there is a Strike backend which allows PI to not be a money transmitter.
It's also a "standard" API so if [RSS.com](http://RSS.com ) for example wanted to offer a mint for their users with their own business Strike account, they could.
There could probably be backends for other exchanges long-term if someone wants to add them.

Frankly, mints were inevitable.
See the blocksize wars and various paid actors involved in those decisions.

It's almost as if layer 1 scalability limits literally everything you can do with bitcoin besides holding it.
Considering just turning off my node and opting out.

Sometime more competent deserves such a good domain name.
Although that really speaks to his skillset.

Yeah I'm using the json schema instead of pydantic because it's easier to keep up to date across several languages.
I only added it to the schemas package recently.

How exactly do you intend to include independent hosts, standalone apps, and one off feeds in this?
