Would the setup for this be quicker with ecash?
Discussion
No but it would have been cheaper. I had to pay phoenix a setup fee to open my channel
I guess what I mean is with ecash, you wouldn't have to setup anything, it's just printing the tokens?
I could have just printed the tokens directly from the mint, instead of running lnbits, but the tokens would have worked with fewer wallets -- and if I wanted to retain self custody of the money I would have to run the mint anyway, might as well run lnbits
Forgot about the wallet stuff
No
But you just gave a new project idea: it would be cool to have a tool where you can paste a set of one or more ecash qr codes, and it will make a shareable link that you can give to anyone; if they visit your link, they see an interface that shows them the amount in the qr code and a Send button to send it via lightning to any LN compatible wallet.
I meant I forgot about the wallet compatiblity part.
