Specifically, here's a list of payments problems we want to tackle:
- to send someone cryptocurrency, you shouldn't need to pass around big ugly addresses. It's annoying and dangerous.
- you should be able to address someone however you know them - and preferably not with a phone number.
- you shouldn't have to paste a private key into a webpage or browser extension
- your wallet should persist across multiple devices.
