Oof, bad timing for that name selection. Especially with payment processing.

The invitation method is interesting, but will likely be its limiting factor vs its draw. Regular Jane/Joe wants to share their username, just not their number or email. Not being able to share verbally is tough.

It's tough getting people used to systems that respect privacy, since Out-of-band ID sharing is part of that.
