Been trying to make a ecash based gift certificate thing for my store. Turns out that was just overkill since it would run with a private mint so wouldn't need a lot of the benefits ecash provides, for all the complexity involved. 🤷
Could make sense for larger merchants (Target, Amazon) or when they use a large gift card provider or reseller.
Because Ecash is just gift certificates, I thought it would be interesting to use them as such.
Making something else to use instead. Just some cryptographically signed gift codes for the store, denominated in sats. No database to maintain other than nonces from redeemed gift codes. That should work fine.
