Custodial services are good, at the local level. Every good Bitcoiner should provide custodial services for their friends and family to help get them onboarded. This is how we win.
ECash is only ideal for central banks who want to sell it as private as cash (read the ECash Act). In reality, it's an attack on privacy, by creating large hubs for ECash/BTC swaps to gain insights over BTC flows. It's a capturing mechanism.
All the best gaming companies are using Lightning, taking your points into your own LN wallet is the dream. ECash is an attack on that.

If you think that way, why are you hating on eCash? It's literally a privacy improvement for custodial services.
How is it only for central banks? Literally everybody can run an eCash mint. If you mean that everyone that runs a mint becomes a central bank, then you are right. but I don't see the point you are making in that.

exactly, it's a dream. Do you expect all gamers to run an LN node? would be nice, but I don't think so.
Look, like many other technologies, eCash can be used for good and bad. If implemented poorly, it's literally a centralized shitcoin worse than fiat. But it doesn't have to be. The cryptographic properties make it an interesting tool for anonymizing custody customers. That's all there is to it

Trivial amounts that would be left on a custodial service aren't the subject of surveillance operations, this is disinformation.
At scale for which it is intended, CBDC, it turns the Mints into surveillance chokepoints during swap flows.

ECash Act. There's literally 0 reason for Uncle Jim nodes to use it.

It's working today with several gaming companies.

There's literally no way for it to be good. It's not Bitcoin, it doesn't scale Bitcoin, it's not proof of Bitcoin, it's a Privacy attack, it's a limited hangout operation.

I disagree with every single statement you made, i guess our opinions are just too different to find common ground.
Have a good day
