A few months ago I asked calle (nprofile…xvl9) to sell me on using cashu. His argument was focused on better payment UX, which is compelling.

But something I think is left out of the conversation around lightning/ecash is the funding UX, which can be very complex.

I recently started using routsr (and appreciate it), but it exemplifies this UX friction perfectly. I've written lightning and cashu integrations, and even I am confused by what the UI is telling me. This is not (entirely) the fault of the routstr developers, it's a result of the irreducible complexity of separate protocols for different technical tradeoffs.
