Meh.

I don't think anything like this makes sense when you're thinking about how easy it easy to use this now. If we're going to have to wait years for the LN to actually be bug-free and coming to fruition then it's not going to be worth the time wasted. Bikes are already here, people use their credit cards (or cash) at kiosks to get the bikes. Why do we need Bitcoin for this sort of thing?

Makes no sense to me, and this isn't going to increase adoption. We've just introduced an alternative that isn't going to get used.
