Why differentiate between ecash and lightning?
I think users just want to send bitcoin instantly, private and at very low cost. How this works under the hood is not important and just leads to confusion.

They have different capabilities. The biggest difference is that an ecash transaction has different ways of being shared. You can copy + paste the token and then just share that string. LN is more of a traditional transaction in the sense that it’s atomic, so the information and actions change.
What if we got rid of the distinction between ecash and ln in the title and just displayed the type as a line item?
Yes, that sounds good 👌
Generally, I would try to make it as minimalistic as possible.
The least information shown, the better UX you can provide.
I love the fact that users don’t need to look for a mint in the onboarding process.
Keep that simplicity also in the following user journey -> don’t show the mint on the home screen, in the settings it’s more than enough.
Also I wouldn’t ask users if they want to trust the mint they are receiving ecash from.
I would think of the best way to handle trust and then apply that to all users (no one wants to do research on mints).
