peer to peer ecash transactions in a nutshell

1 - alice sends ecash token to carol
2 - carol sends ecash to bob the mint
3 - bob verifies and checks for double-spending
4 - bob issues a new token to carol

like physical cash, step 1 is instant and works without internet.

How does Carol prevent Alice from double spending?

How many bobs are there to avoid double spending within one transaction?

Nothing stops bob from being a total dick and lying to everyone and taking all their cash to Columbia for a party full of hookers and blow.

Cashu is great. The only thing I don’t like is that Carol needs to trust Alice’s mint. I understand that this is the constraint to make the tokens pure data, but it feels awkward that Carol needs to trust all the mints of all the users that send her money.
