I honestly don’t know how to onboard people anymore… half the wallets look like ass, the other half behave like ass and the third half (off by one errors are hard) looks and behaves like ass. And then there’s the question of which poison to recommend. Spark? Cashu? A whole ass node full of complexity which still needs purchasing liquidity from a third party? Ignore lightning entirely and tell them to run a plain and boring bitcoin wallet like bluewallet? So many questions…

I would skip the whole self-custody thing for onboarding. I'm not obligated to do the work of a bunch of wallet writers and manufacturers who lazily thrust the same compromises and awful standards on us for the last 13 years. Trying to make everyone a sovereign self-custodian Day One is mission creep. Convert Square merchants. Tell your family and friends about Strike or CashApp. Hairshirt fanaticism is for the monero bros who want to LARP as science fiction characters and ship each other baked goods and shit.
