I haven’t been able to figure out the good use case for it either. Maybe because of offline payments?? That’s the only argument I can see. But you can’t verify it. I’d rather take cash and convert that to sats.

yeah lightning wouldn’t work in some places where visa works, like in an airplane with no wifi. so this is where ecash works better, but you could rugpull the airline right when you get back online unless they redeem before you
Actually you can verify it. By combining DLEQ proofs and locking scripts you can verify a token yourself (no request to the mint needed). You can aggregate payments and then swap out to Lightning whenever you like
