LOL! You should use those at mashingmonsters.com given how much you enjoy the site and experience!

@darthcoin

Some people like art & avatars. We wanted to create something that people would enjoy, showcase an artist that we think is awesome – hyeinlee.com – and maybe get some folks in bitcoin to try it out to see how easy it is to add lightning monetization directly to a site.

Sounds like it isn't for you... which is all good!

Pretty fun example using Mash.

Feedback: I'm still yet to sign up for Mash. As a builder in the space I will likely end up joining soon to see what the experience is like, but imagining myself as an ordinary user I'm not sure when I'd find signing up "worth it." I suspect it'd be when Mash is gating something I find valuable enough to add another account to my keychain. This project doesn't push me over that edge quite yet though. Note: I'm also pretty account-phobic and probably not the early-adopter archetype so grain of salt.

Do you work at Mash or are just building on it?

Appreciate the feedback and thoughts. And if anytime you want to chat – would be keen to do so. I work at Mash yes!

The point of this site was to showcase an alpha/early version of Mash with something that folks might want to try out and find interesting – making fun of NFTs at the same time. Also why we did prophecybitcoin.com for the "future price of bitcon" – hacky meme sites for entertainment that we whipped together. Really go get feedback and have folks try it out (or take a look)

Account sign-up completely get. That's why we have email so folks can use protonmail (and not lose their funds)... but still it isn't perfect

We will be adding funding through lightning accounts + connections to nodes/wallets. It's all built that way just a timing thing – small, though unbelievably talented team.

Awesome!

To be clear, I think the UI/UX looks really well executed and I imagine I would eventually sign up for something like Mash, but I wanted to communicate my feelings as a non-early adopter in case that helped any.
