 Cashu is custodial, Monero is not

Lightning is a UX nightmare for sovereign users, Monero is not

Not anywhere close to full replacements 
 I agree that the UX for lightning is not great as sovereign user at this moment but manageable. It definitely progressed a lot last year. Cashu is indeed custodial so in full trustless network it doesn’t work.

Just a question out of curiousity are there any trustless swaps between bitcoin and monero build now?

Where are now the main fiat ramps for monero?

 
 I use both lightning and Cashu. Each has unique advantages and disadvantages, so I can't call them a replacement for the others.

Yes, trustless swaps:

https://unstoppableswap.net/

Coming Soon:
https://serai.exchange/
https://github.com/decred/dcrdex

No-KYC fiat ramps:
https://haveno-reto.com/
https://bisq.network/
https://dex.robosats.com/
https://coinatmradar.com

Kraken, KuCoin, HodlHodl are centralized fiat ramps - KYC obviously 
 Do you know if this uses COMIT for Bitcoin to Monero swaps? 
 Unstoppable (and the new Feather plugin) both use COMIT 
 Yes, and BasicSwapDEX uses https://github.com/h4sh3d/xmr-btc-atomic-swap

Not sure how Serai and Decred are going to do it 
 #haveno and DFX.swiss or Onramper via @cakewallet
