exactly ? I’m not going to accept the payment until i redeem it as a lightning payment to my node, since it could be a bullshit token. So it’s just a slower payment method now? Who is benefiting from this? Users get slower payments, seller has to do extra work. Still uses lightning at the end of the day to verify. Please make it make sense.

The only way I can think of justifying it, is if there is a Huuuge mint, and it issues and redeems for aaaaall users. With minimal need to go back to Lightning. But then… that’s just a mildly less centralized table. 🤷‍♂️

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.
