there’s a parallel universe out there with a base-layer self-custodial cashu based off CTV pools
Discussion
I'm starting to see the a future ecash. Potentially much nicer UX, better privacy and similar trust assumptions to a custodial lightning wallet (which let's be honest most use anyways)
Are you a CTV supporter? I think there may be potential there, it may have been a ham fisted approach to protocol changes, but that doesn't mean its a bad idea. What are your thoughts on it?
yea i like it- fairly simple system that unlocks a lot for scaling bitcoin/lightning
Do you have anything I could watch/listen to/read on the topic? A podcast, a video, it doesn't have to be professional or anything, just something to give me a rough overview of some of the benefits it could provide?
That's impossible.
i think it makes sense, in a context like this, where your ecash token is not just a say to an amount (or in this case a leaf), but to update the state.
