Every time I hear that Kanye line on spaceship,
“Lock yourself in a room doing five beats a day for three summers…I deserve to do these numbers.”

If I wasn’t working on ecash, I’d be working on making seed phrases obsolete. They’re the worst possible UX imaginable.
"Hey, we have the best engineered money in human history…but before you can use it, you have to grab a piece of paper and write down 12 random words. BTW if anyone ever finds this paper, they can steal your money forever."
Deeply unserious UX.
I think seed phrases are the best solution we have right now. But it’s naive and short sighted to think they’ll remain the standard for self custody / backup, or that we can’t design something 10x better and just as secure.
I prototyped a fully functional Bitchat Cashu wallet. From Figma wireframes to Kotlin code running live on Android. Pretty excited about the workflow. Sharing my exact flow in case it helps anyone else.
