Thanks for setting it up, I only learned that it's you from post on X after episode aired. Great job and I hope you continue setting merchants up with ability to accept better money βœŠπŸ—½

As for the "freak" it's how Odell and Marty traditionally call Bitcoiners and viewers of their show πŸ˜‚ it's meant as compliment... if you watch more of RHR you'll see they always open with "what's up freaks" or something along those lines.

For the future - mention me or DM me any time you do nostr:nprofile1qqs22d4tralncqfnh2kmmarjkxk8449hwnk5xtqe3y5yry6hy7ytegqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgcwaehxw309ahx7um5wghxvmt59emkj73wvf5h5tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsymkvl9 related stuff and thank you for your work!

gm, everyone wants to be a rockstar, until it's time to be a rockstar.

gm, being able to code for Bitcoin is a superpower

But doing it together as a team, shipping things like @BtcpayServer 2.3 yesterday & celebrating as a community - that's next level.

Thanks to y'all who engage, repost & send energy to builders in FOSS. I see you. I appreciate you.

BTCPay Server 2.3 is out! 🚨

Starting today, you can charge merchants a subscription fee to use your BTCPay Server, making it sustainable for local enthusiasts to onboard businesses to accept Bitcoin while undercutting credit card fees and preserving merchant self-custody.

https://blossom.primal.net/44b5f17bed0825454a9325a0839c616e22c0268283e8af305ab750fd6721e4e0.mp4

2.3 brings in several long-awaited features, making it our biggest release this year:

✨ Subscriptions

πŸ€‘ Server Monetization

πŸ”Œ Plugin Builder 1.0 (ratings & reviews)

πŸ’Έ Payment Requests redesign

πŸ›’ EDD & Drupal 11

🌍 14 new languages

See all the details on our blog: https://blog.btcpayserver.org/btcpay-server-2-3-0/

πŸ’š And last, but definitely not least, a huge thanks to our incredible supporters and contributors! We couldn’t build this FOSS tech without you:

gm, people often ask me: Uncle, how are you so successful when it looks like you are just traveling the world and having fun all the time?

My answer is simple: chase work with people you like and who inspire you.

Once you get into the desired setup, be relentless. Do whatever it takes to hit the goal you agreed on, in the timeframe set. When it is done, rinse and repeat.

The most important part is not getting stuck on failures (they will happen) or with people who no longer inspire you (maybe you no longer inspire them).

What is tragic is that most people today just need:

1) a small push toward the right group&goal with clear equity

2) knowledge on how to generate the energy needed to get momentum going

Luckily, the Christmas season and New Year's resolutions are ahead of us. Everyone reading this can be wildly successful in 2026 while having tons of fun. And if you can't do it alone, plan a trip to Plan B El Salvador. Uncle will be there taking questions, giving answers, and lifting weights πŸ’ͺ
