Routstr merged this, which is cool for US users for now. ..until minibits gets sanctioned, too or goes down.

There's a kind of whack-a-mole (or dodge-the-hammer) that "UX-improving defaults" will forever be cursed with.
Maybe I'm an anti-defaults zealot and I don't know it yet. Gonna think about that one... All software does nothing out of the box. requires multiple first touches. "Bad" for UX, but excellent for personal virtue-building and community hygiene.

But also BEWARE!
routstr (npub130m…l29s) 's 'routstrd' cli uses the mint at https://mint.cubabitcoin.org **by default**. There is a really, really, really good chance that if you attempt to use a custodial wallet in the USA to pay an invoice the CLI presents to you, _you will fucking get in trouble_ with your custodian. Cuba is sanctioned by the US.

Here is a PR to change the default mint. And a suggestion to add a loud warning to the setup:
