BChat, as cool as it is, is a major distraction away from what a wallet should do. There are already thousands of chat apps already and adding BCH to anyone of them (Signal, NOSTR) would be a much better use of resources than expecting the world to join BChat.

What IS missing from all of the wallets I've used (many), BCH or otherwise, is an extremely easy to use multisig feature.

This would make escrow standard for all business transactions. It puts credit & warrantees directly in the hands of users.

Just like memo, BChat will have maybe 20 regular users all telling each other how awesome BCH will be once it catches on? That's the same problem unmodified NOSTR has, it's BTC only, and only Lightning "zaps" at that.

It's not a major distraction, especially for BCH with its small ecosystem and community one of the things a wallet should do is encourage people to use it and engage with the community which is exactly what BChat does.

Existing NOSTR clients/community is pretty hardcore BTC only so good luck getting them to add BCH. And yes, getting Signal to support BCH would be huge but if you think getting them to add it is easier than developing BChat I think Selene/BChat devs would love to hear about it.

You're right, the domination of NOSTR by BTC guys means we can't rely on them for any help. Actually we need to absorb or branch off from their stuff - and run all our own infrastructure. So that's the approach I'm taking.

It's easier to build starting with a passionate community, and then sway over larger apps like Signal I agree with you on that point as well. Good to see alignment there.
