I think it’s fun to play with. I like how simple the interface is and as a result how much software has popped up around it. I’m very skeptical that it finds mainstream adoption for traditional payments, but i think there’s a usecase around SaaS/IaaS/PaaS billing and metering that could be really interesting. 

So I’m a fan of the project, not really sure where it will end up, and that’s great. 

 Makes sense.  Agree.  It will be a big challenge to make it popular.  I wish them luck.

On-chain seems to have the advantage of not requiring configuration, or to run a lightning node.  It just works.  So could appeal to a mass audience. 

 Curious to hear why you think it won’t be mainstream?
