For an embarrassingly long amount of time I've been working on an ecash inspired bitcoin wallet.
At a high level an ecash-style wallet makes a bunch of trade offs:
* + Way more private than a normal bitcoin wallet (thanks to blinded schnorr coins)
* + Cheaper to use than a normal bitcoin wallet (thanks to economy of scale, option to batch transactions..)
* - Trust. You can be robbed by the custodian at any time (Although, you'll have cryptographic proof if it does happen!)
* - Availability. If the custodian is down (or DoS'd) there's no way to transact. Sorry.
It's in extremely rough shape, but if anyone wants to try it out (testnet only!) or help with development, here's a sneak preview:

Note2: History/Restore from mnemoic are broken at the moment

The core primitives and "consensus level" classes are maintained here:

The best way to chat to me in real-time would be over telegram (

Thanks!
