There's already a mobile coin integration. Although I don't think mobilecoin will be around much longer. If they integrated #lighning that would be huge!
My thoughts exactly.
I hear a phone number is still required on signup though. Completely unnecessary.
Great, it's a first step, hopefully it comes to stable in the following months not years.
Next remove the need for a phone number to register in the first place, allow multiple accounts that we can connect from multiple devices and add Bitcoin Lightning.
