I changed my plans. ~ecash is not a long term goal anymore: I will do a full rewrite with a cashu mint included and that's how real sats will go live in 10 days.
Using ecash means no tx fees for orders, easy payout (push instead of pull) and if you deposit more funds than you end up using, you can simply use these cashu token to zap users on nostr etc.
It simply makes sense from a lot of angles.
