Cashu/ECash is a bad design choice for this usecase imo, it makes tradeoffs incompatible with fluid mass-adoptable UX because its just layering the management of a new shitcoin as opposed to direct RPC access
Save for enterprise-scale environments, Pub isn't any less private either as it uses ephemeral keys that are blind children not tied to a given identity. A user could have one or many, rotate them, etc. Also with friends/family nodes nodes the anonymity set is so low that becomes the common limiting factor... whitelisting keys would also negate any privacy benefits
If however you are already running a mint, it could conceivably serve as a backend for Pub... while we built on a single implementation to focus on security (LND) we did so in a way that adapters should be relatively simply to implement
