Hi Nostr,

Launching soon— https://moneydevkit.com

Stripe is the de facto payment solution for developers but theres entire swaths of the globe that aren’t served by it.

Similarly, everyday people with legitimate businesses get their payments turned off by stripe because the traditional financial system doesn’t want to serve them.

Money Dev Kit is the easiest way to get started taking payments online. Easier than stripe. No onboarding or approvals. 170 countries. Your payments are yours.

Under the hood, it’s self-custody and lightning. None of the headache, nodes channels etc. The interface will be truly stripe level and better.

After working in lightning for the past few years, the hidden alpha on the network is there are plenty of people sending and able to send payments, but there’s a shortage of people receiving them.

Underserved devs are using AI to make the future of the internet, and this will be by far the easiest way for them to receive those payments.

money dev kit is a good name

👀

How people will receive lightning in a non custodial way? Using spark.money?

Just plain ole lighting :)

but how do they receive it? who has the wallet and the channels?

and the node

The user will have all. Serverless SDK they add to their app. Ldk-node + LSPS2 for liquidity. LSPS5 to wake it up.

Please link me to these LSP specs?

yea same

They have moved over to the blip repo now for the most part.

Mdk will take care of all of this in the background anyway so no need for the user to know. Just some fun behind the scenes stuff

I thought you were building a lightning wallet. Interested to see where this goes. Good luck.

Thanks Super Phat Arrow

This tech can build a lot of stuff, we’ll see what the future holds 😁

whoa dude

very exciting!

well this sounds very interesting.

will customers be able to pay with credit cards and merchants receive lightning payments?

It’s a cool idea, our goal right now is not to mix with cc’s to keep to no onboarding, but some sort of opt in cc solution could be in the cards eventually

I dig. no-kyc is a priority! love it

🔥🔥🔥

stripe is popular cause it works

for this to work it will need users of custodial wallets (stripe 2.0), or have LN payment failures lol

not super impressive, as it already exists within btcpayserver and we can see it working in the wild

Man Monero guys stay coping

How soon? Very excited!

Soon™️ 😄

Next year soon? Six months soon? Couple of weeks soon? ;-)

Sign up and we’ll email you as soon as there’s something to try!

Will do!

Yall need any more devs? Would love to keep in touch.

Very interesting

When you will launch?

Great. More vaporware.

Signed up - Good luck! 👏

Goodluck. I hate stripe

united

Airline?

😁

It looks magnificent. Congratulations on the work and nice to meet you friend 💪⚡️

have to look deeper, but this point is gold:

"the hidden alpha on the network is there are plenty of people sending and able to send payments, but there’s a shortage of people receiving them"

I see $ in the UI. How does that work? User pays with dollars and vendor gets dollars?

For now devs can price in dollars but all payments are in bitcoin

Hah nice, I basically just built a rudimentary version of it for my business and the price in sats updates in real-time on each page refresh https://lightning.nostrmedia.com/subscribe

Very cool!

Hi Nick, lets say I am running an online game that enables players to deposit and withdraw money, will let be as straightforward as sending and receiving money in paypal? Will the users need lightning accounts? Will it be as easy as depositing fiat and withdrawing fiat back?

Our first iterations will be focused on taking payments, but our goal will be integration on your side being as easy as possible.

Your users will need to have Bitcoin / lightning enabled wallets. People who have coinbase / cashapp will have a relatively easy time for example.

A really nice experience that some are working on is the ability to buy and send out bitcoin in one fluid motion. Imagine you’ve scanned a lightning QR from your bank account and it just works. When more catch on to this, there won’t be much of a difference.

If you’d like to chat through ways to make your game happen feel free to DM me.

Good evening

Wow

I am just have nothing to sell ☺️
