Nostr Web Client

Been brainstorming solutions for nostr:npub1jx702fwvkdtqkhd9p8n6ctgnycpl6whsx07a0h9s9h2hlgx6q60svk2c49 and thought it’d be a good idea to #asknostr too.

If you’re a merchant with unreliable internet, what’s a good no-KYC setup to accept payments?

So far I’ve got:

🟠 Alby Cloud

🟠 ZEUS node in the phone

🟠 BTCPay Server on a VPS

Would love to hear your thoughts with any pros and cons. I plan to create a longform post at some point so other merchants can refer to it in the future. 🧡🤙

From my experiences recently….

Zeus invoices from the node in the phone are unreliable unfortunately…

The pos functionality in Zeus is ecash/cashu based now(?) haven’t tried to use it yet as I don’t really want to use ecash/cashu as it’s still way to beta softwarey for me…

Kinda not sure myself on what to do lol…

Ecash can be nice when internet is unreliable since payments can be received offline. Not good for large amounts though so it might be best to use ecash as the POS and transfer balances to self-custody lightning when internet allows.

You could use a VPS hosting a BTC server. Then it won't matter if you have good local internet. I've had good luck with Racknerd and it is a cheap option. Here is an affiliate link if you want to check it out. https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=4057

Getting a umbrel or start9 hosting your own stuff fully but needs more knowledge and time

But it be almost bulletproof ..

Or use like minibits to get a lightning address use minibits with lightning or Ecash

And it can use NFC payments now so for small businesses it could become big ..

But would need to move it to a full on-chain wallet regularly for safety
