interesting piece Mike. What do you think of something like Lightspark, run by David Marcus. His idea is to do what you are suggesting here, but the end user still stays with the same front end. (paypal or whoever) and the back end is Lighting but the end user doesn't see it. I think he also wants to make a front end for the average end user. But I haven't tried his product nor Strike either. Have you ? any experience on those 2 apps?.

I've messed with Strike. It's the same issue that I see with even PayPal working with Lightning underneath the front end - if users can transfer between apps with Lightning, like a Strike user can send to a PayPal user, that'd be great. If they're both to remain walled gardens, it's less exciting.
