Now wouldn’t it make sense to start the node in the background so that users can open the app instantly? The “starting your node” part is pretty annoying and not necessary for ecash.

Sure, and I’m pretty sure wallets will adopt it for the simple reason that ₿ is much more recognizable than “sats”. No one outside of the small Bitcoin bubble knows wtf sats are.

Why not this? ˢ₿

sure.. or simply use ₿, the symbol everyone on planet earth already recognizes as Bitcoin and creates zero confusion!

Bad choice! ₿ is much better than "sats" alternatively go with ˢ₿

Yes thats exactly what they should do!

Love the sats symbol ❤️
