sad that today's bitcoiners would rather promote custodial and untried solutions

I think both ecash and Monero are quite tried now
There’s room for both of them. People just need to be honest about the trade offs.
really?
like as in
ecash is a stress tested network that has been attacked, vulnerabilities found and improved?
is there even a list of businesses in the wild that accept ecash?
its cool and all
but I feel like we're getting ahead of ourselves
Absolutely RE vulnerabilities and iteration
As for payments, I don’t think it’s realistic for companies to accept the IOUs especially when users can burn them to pay over Lightning. Maybe it will happen though with some business accepting tokens only from select trusted mints, but I don’t see it being widespread
I find it really hard to believe that a protocol that isnt widely adopted IRL can be considered stress tested.
but I'm not familiar with the details so ok.
Monero has failed every stress test so far.
It costs 9k euros to spam the network with ~7x the TX count for a month.
