- Payment channels seem clearly inappropriate for things like monthly
subscriptions, the use of nlocktime, etc.
- Merchants cannot send requests to users for future payments, because
users don't run servers that they can connect to. That's why BIP0070 works
the way it does.
- Need to have an interval for subscriptions, at a minimum, and stored in
the wallet so next months payment can go out on time
- Support for varying currency conversion needs to be baked in to
wallets. Fortunately, by adding advisory subscription info to the
paymentrequest, this is left up to the wallet to
secure/validate/repeat/convert/etc. as needed for each subscription.
- The UI you describe is nice - but not unique to the solution.
