Looking at X and builders there, majority are seeking a reliable and independent way to accept payments without arbitrary companies telling them when and how. A lot of sad stories of held up funds, stolen funds, and complete business meltdown. If they only were aware of Lightning and bitcoin, if only it was as easy for the customers to pay for their purchases without “credit score”. How do we spread the word? How do we make it a norm and not a novelty?

Best i can do is phoenix wallet for them and their followers 🤷‍♂️

I mean legitimate businesses selling goods or services. nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg is one way for sure, but how easy and safe is it compared to a complete outsourcing of this. It can be in the right hands for sure

Can btcpay be run with a phoenixd server as the backend? 🤔...if so btcpay with phoenixd backend...phoenix wallet for normies spending at the business.

Its the best we got imo. Everything else doesnt stand a chance, unfortunately.

I think they can, but I am not sure.

Square was putting bitcion in their terminals, limited coverage though. Not anywhere in Australia, sadly. I've people & businesses lined up to accept bitcoin in a standardised way.

Yes, that would be good if it was more standardized and easy for normal people

The problem is the same as it was - as long as someone has to buy the money to spend it, they won’t do it.

Yes, that’s the crux of it all. Wasn’t Strike doing something about it? Or was it Cashapp?

Both are tiny. I’ve never heard of any normie using cash app. And strike not even a chance …
