I’m going to attempt to learn about ecash today on my own. I’m old so please be patient with me. 😂

I believe in you 🥹
Not sure your starting point, but:
Where sats are stored on the blockchain and your keys let you spend (you don’t carry your sats around), ecash tokens are like a physical “check.” It’s an IOU from an ecash mint that probably has a lightning node attached to it.
If the lightning node and mint stay solvent, you will be able to redeem your IOU for sats, or whatever the IOU is for. (Some use USD)
I dm’ed you a token to try it out.
Not old, just other matters to attend to~
😀
You got this! I’m doing the same🫡
Can I ask you? What is this interest in ecash? I'm interested in knowing the motivation that drives you to learn more about ecash. Very interesting...
For me, it’s part of the ecosystem. So that’s why I played with it a few weeks ago.
I simply don’t have a use case for it, such as not enough BTC and/or any friends that use BTC or it’s derivatives (ie ecash).
So until I do, there isn’t a reason for me to pursue it at the moment
