Interesting. Your opinion matters to me. I am running a substantial lightning node and cash mint, but otherwise, I am pretty far from the center of the universe (as compared to you). I think having a phone that accepts lightning transactions is not a good idea. Lightning works best if all the known nodes are 24/7/365. When my node needs to make a payment, it has to use its imagination to find a route from the payer to the recipient. Too many offline or semi-online nodes make it harder for algorithms to find a cheap route quickly. Therefore, I am leaning towards recommending a Cashu wallet for starters, perhaps a custodial lightning wallet too (ideally with a friend running the node), and educating users concerning when to move funds out of Cashu into Boltz, swapping out to self-custody. What do you think about this?
