The issue is that ecash forces custody while making the path to non-custody harder.

NWC is a superior API to build around instead of focusing on ecash integrations, since switching to your own node is trivial with NWC if you want to upgrade to a non-custodial setup.

There is no real non-custody upgrade path in the ecash case if devs focus on building ecash integrations instead of NWC.

Let's focus dev energy around #NWC and lightning wallets with zap support! They are severely lacking!

Let's not rebuild the world we are trying to deprecate.

Are ecash and nwc compatible? Can you setup nwc to accept ecash tokens as lightning (Ithinks its how its supposed to work right)

nwc is just a protocol for paying lightning invoices and controlling lightning wallets from apps, it doesn't really have anything to do with ecash. some people have built NWC bridges to mints, not exactly sure how that works though.
