its really offputting. I like the tech and I was thinking abou using it for things like poker chips, but I'm not a fan of liars and i'm getting huge shitcoin vibes from most cashu people i interact with. maybe I'll just stick to lightning dev.

I have also told calle early on before this started, to change protocol design decisions. right now it is a hack on top of a hack which makes me unwilling to touch it

for example, instead of a general script system, there is a dedicated type for each use case, even though back in 2023 I told them this was a bad idea

nutzaps for example are inherently worse as well, either the receiver has to pay the cost of retrieving the sats from the sender’s mint (which can refuse) while saying they did a valid zap, or the sender has to swap between mints (why not just use LN?)

ah yeah I ran into the same issue trying to think about how I would implement ecash payment handling for lmzap

i still think it might be a nice option for privacy conscious services if the users only other option is custodial lightning.

its more of a burden for the merchant IMO due to the mint swap and finality issues.

I think a protocol for service credits handling that is designed only for that purpose is infinitely more valuable
