For consumer/retail use, I don’t think it is. Perhaps it powers these transactions behind the scenes, but this UX will dominate.

 yeah, my thought as well  

 Things need to be shiny

 Its aminated and shiny. Apple won. Let's pack it up boys.  

 lmao, i'm just interested more in the UX part of it 😄  

 Is this a new demo or apple pay cash existing features?

 What exactly are we looking at here?
Neat whatever it is. 

 I don’t see any reason why Lightning wallets couldn’t implement NFC and shiny graphics. 

 Don’t they? 

 Many already do.

Done. 

 The animation is one thing, the transaction times are another. Would be really cool though. 

 Lightning takes just a few seconds for the most part. It's people using Tor on their home nodes which takes a while 😩 

 yeah fair, i don't know much about tor, nodes and all that 

 Just send ecash phone to phone. From your nutsack.

 do any of the lightning wallets have phone <-> smart watch payment support? or smart watch <-> smart watch? 

 I don't believe I've seen a watch app at least for Android. 

 Apple will run a node for you 

 curious how lightning is going to compete with this https://m.primal.net/KmDk.mp4  nostr.fmt.wiz.biz 

 This looks cool, but I can hand you a dollar much faster.

Animations need to be fast. This is just boring but maybe it is slow to give the initial wow factor. 

 Oh, worse still, the cash isn't even sent once the animation ends... ecash FTW. 

 yeah, curious about that loading time too 

 ecash is an IOU 

 So is apple pay. What's your point? Not everything is about trustless bitcoin. 

 Tranfer of an IOU, 3rd party style, is quick.  

 Someone who is good at graphics design to make their app look cool for transactions. Can do this for any bitcoin app in an afternoon if they wanted to. 

Whoopedy freaken doo. 

 Crazy way to send a shitcoin.. 

 It's not sending the cash yet, the second phone still need to confirm to receive. We could do like one phone is a boltcard and the second make the invoice, tap to pay the invoice, fireworks and shit! It will be faster than Apple and irreversible.
