Bitcoin Basin is not only rising up the ranks in merchants per capita, but the merchants we’re getting are different.

Yea, you can grab a beer, or a slice of pizza. How about a bike rental to hit the bike park? How about your accommodation? A barber shop?

I think you should come visit.

LNbits can do this via its lnurl features.

They’re not just equally important, each quality is essential to guarantee the integrity of the other.

I don’t think this list says what you think it says.

Really pumped about the onboarding flow we’ve build at Lightning Pay. NZD to your lightning wallet in a few clicks and a few seconds. Check it out.

Sorry you guys missed it. The bitkiwi events are a blast. You can check out kiwibitcoinguide.org as we keep the bitkiwi schedule up to date as well as we can there. Next event is the halving party in Wellington!

This is the next shift in mindset bitcoin will make to the masses. Store of value is a nearly won narritive battle. The next demonstration bitcoin needs to make is as digital cash.

I watched the first battle passively holding my keys, and I'm excited to help fight the next.

I lost a week to being obsessed with this awhile back too, weirdly getting choked up at times seeing them react to music I love. For a brief moment, I understood YouTube. Humans are weird.

Without giving away your privacy that is.

Latest article on KiwiBitcoinGuide, "How to buy non-kyc bitcoin from New Zealand?"

A very thorough and great overview on how (and a bit on why) buying bitcoin without giving away can be done from our beautiful country. Check it out.

Thanks to HGW for putting this together.

There are many moment I have with lightning payments like that (Lunanode included), where I think, “shit, that was easy I wish everything worked like that.”

The interesting thing is I think a lot of less technical people are just going to keep using it and think something is wrong with bitcoin/lightning.

Nevermind. Didn’t see it at first for some reason. Hope I got you first!

Yo Bitkiwi! Set up your Zaps!

#[0] , you clever devil. Nice op_return.

That works too (that’s actually what I do for BTCPay), it just makes your vps more expensive.

I also use the same process for a clearnet mempool and lnbits instance.

For the nginx part, I found these scripts from #[3] to be quite useful.

Yep. You’ll have to run a VPS. Many use digital ocean, I use lunanode (accepts btc). Mine costs $3/mo.

Then you’ll need to connect the vps to your node with a vpn of some kind, I use tailscale, others use openvpn or wireguard.

Then setup a domain, pointed to your vps, and use nginx (or another service) to proxy traffic to your BTCPay.

There are a few guides out there, happy to find one for you when I get a few more min later on.

Looks like lnbits is close too.

You’ve sent me down a rabbit hole to figure this out for myself.
