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.

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.
