I'm mildly nervous about supporting eCash on Alexandria, as I worry that less-informed users will get rugged and think it was our app.
Nobody seems to know that eCash isn't Lightning, and therefore is decoupled from Bitcoin. It's tokens/coupons/IOUs issued by someone with a Lightning node.
We also want to serve people with very little money. What if they earn what is to them quite a few sats, and then watch it just disappear?
Almost everyone starts with a custodial lightning wallet. Just saying.

Yes. But that's almost always where they stay.
That makes me mildly nervous
And ecash is actually a layer entirely removed from Lightning. It's not merely a custodial Lightning.
It doesn't even necessarily have anything at all to do with Bitcoin.
