WHAT?! No pool should ever, ever, ever not track the total liabilities in each ecash epoch. Sure, they can *in theory* stop tracking individual shares, but they still need to track the total shares and the shares redeemed to ensure bugs in the ecash system don’t bankrupt them.
> we can do better
Sadly, users want, like, a UI that tells them their hashrate and monitors their devices and such. That should be run locally, on that I assume we agree, but actually building that is the hard part here, not anything related to ecash. The ecash part doesn’t improve complexity here, you move the tracking locally but you still have to build it (and it’s harder to build cause you have to build it to run on the miners end)!

You are jumping to conclusions. The pool tracks liabilities with absolute precision. The value add for the pool is that expiring ecash forces users to exit their position and claim their rewards. This allows the pool to zero out their liabilities in a rolling time window fashion.

Free and open source software means I can build it once and give it away to the world for free.
