 When you view it more pragmatically as a decentralized payment system and ecash provides further scaling, then there isn't much copium to be had.

 Any good links or docs on ecash to get me started? Are there going to be a bunch of hiccups like I've run into here

 What are your goals? The most straightforward analog to running a lightning node is running a cashu mint. It's also a lightning node, so it won't be less work than now lol. But it's way easier to build on because it's a single api on a single server. Each ecash token is self authenticated. No accounts. The beauty of ecash is it's simplicity.

 With recently merged NUT-18, I see the possibility of building a Cashu ‘node’ that can initiate payment requests and use whatever mint is available. All state is stored as nostr events. @calle 👁️⚡👁️
