Definitely a reasonable idea and perspective. I share your frustration with Bitcoiners' unwillingness to ever spend sats, even if they just pay with Bitcoin by directly from converting from fiat (you spend fiat but someone receives BTC, great compromise imho - but everything has tradeoffs). To clarify I actually like your idea, I think its just better suited to either a Cashu fork (a corporate oriented Ubuntu versus the community project Debian) or Fedimint. The core idea/use case is cool imho. I think say a United is not going to want to use a privacy oriented anonymous freedom at all costs app that "terrorists" may be using (not my opinion, I love Cashu, I'm just imagining the boomer conversation inside of a big company board room). The regulatory/compliance/lawyer crowd at a big company would burn the place down before they let them use Cashu. A Cashu fork or Fedimints I'm guessing would be more palatable. All my guess, the free markets will decide. I don't seek to stop anyone. I truly love your enthusiasm. I wish your idea was more widespread-ly acceptable but companies using Cashu as is seems like a stretch to me for all but the most hardcore freedom oriented Bitcoiner founded and led startups.
Yes! No worries friend. I agree that "United" itself wasn't going to launch lnbits and install a cashu extension...haha....simply making the point that I would rather them use "our" tech (even if its the eventual Ubuntu version of Cashu)
For reference, the people who run the festivals I work for are old hippies and they would pretty much agree to whatever I suggested. The actual problem I have with "fedi.xyz" is that its probably a little overkill for lots of grassroots usecases ( things like kids book fair at school, carnivals, farmers markets, etc).
There are lots of little ad-hoc usecases where there is too much friction in making people download apps and jump thru sign-up hoops. They just need a quick to use eCash solution. It really needs to be a "scan this QR code on your phone" solution.
Anyway thanks for your comments, I appreciate it
