Nostr Web Client

Every single time I have tried using ecash, it has been disastrous and unusable. My ecash balance in the UI quickly disconnects from any real balance or ability to transfer it out with lightning.

Most recently, I put 1,000 sats into my shopstr wallet and then withdrew 500 and the balance in the UI actually went UP to 1516. Except I can’t actually send or receive seemingly any amount via LN

This kind of thing is never going to work for normies. They’re never going to trust an on-screen balance that *might* be correct, at least certainly not without tech support to call

I'm an ecash burn victim also. I don't like it. Too dependant on other things to be worth anything.

I've listened to the pump podcasts and gotten excited but then I get bad feelings and I don't want to lose sats. I've also been a victim of lightning and have suffered much in 4 years. I do like lightning and it's much better than I'm the past.

Finally, I've learned mass respect for in chain and that's where the savings need to go in good UTXO sizes.

Alas if we totally mess up Bitcoin we can start over and try again. For this we will need second layers locked up on chain with good exits for key holding parties.
