For the bitcoin side use https://btcpayserver.org/ you can self host it. Good support and a lot of people use it. There are a few blogs how-to for accepting ETH but I have NO experience with any of them so I cannot comment on them. You can probably find an ETH discussion in alt-coins here to poke around it. The only downside I see is that you will have to go to cart -> Pay with crypto -> choose crypto -> payment -> back to cart. So you are adding the complexity of having 2 separate crypto checkouts. With that being said there might be one that does it all, I do not know about it. Stay safe. -Dave

OK, is it as simple as changing the most basic unit of account from sats to millisats? How does that "transformation" happen in Lightning. Or is it simply because any rule can be made up in L2 networks?
Any rule that the L2 agrees upon. Automotive version: Think of it as having a car that is street legal that you can also drive on the track. While driving it to the racetrack (L2 network) you have to obey all the local traffic rules (main chain), once you are the track there are a different set of rules. Still the same car ( BTC) however, once you leave the track for the drive home, the local traffic rules apply again. Probably nor 100% technically accurate but *I* feel it is a good example. Others will disagree. -Dave

Thank you for all your replies!
BTCPay does indeed look quite promising. Unfortunately though it's not designed for sending payments which is actually a crucial requirement for us. I've also looked into Electrum (maybe in combination with the CLI), but I'm not sure if this is scalable enough.
For receiving and sending payments for security purposes should be separate. Unless there is a compelling reason for it they should not even be on the same server. BTC comes in -> moves to cold wallet with multisig -> as needed move some to a different hot wallet -> BTC out. If you have if all in 1 a programming error on the side of receiving payments can get to your main wallet and wipe you out. I know you said you were going to move the BTC out of the incoming wallet but putting it back in there or leaving a large amount in it is just asking for trouble. Just my view. Stay safe. -Dave

So I sell stuff on eBay, last Friday someone won 3 different auctions from me (printer ink/toner) all the stuff is pre boxed and ready to go. I probably could have saved a bit by combining 3 packs into 2 but in the end it was just quicker to print 3 labels out and ship.
All left my office, Long Island NY Friday. All were going to the same address in Texas. 1 was delivered just now, 2 are still sitting in the Dallas post office with delivery scheduled for........THURSDAY.
Yeah, 3 of the same size boxes coming from the same place going to the same place. Shipping is a bit FUBAR.
Stay safe.

Longer answer even if you get it to compile you are going to have other issues. Someone did a couple of years ago and still no-go. Check reddit, I think they were posting on there but I really don't remember. The "controller" is just a Raspberry Pi. You can run a 1 or 2 or 3 overall the cost of getting one vs. the time and aggravation of getting it to work on Windows is not going to be worth it. What would even be the benefit in this kind of a scenario?
Probably none, unless you have an old computer sitting around but don't have a Pi handy. Stay safe. -Dave

Unless I am missing something, which is possible, when network utilization is low like it is now it will work. Once it gets busy it's going to be useless since if 100s or 1000s of transactions are happening per minute by the time you get the data and parse the data the data might have changed. Now that channels can stay unused for weeks at a time it's a different story. Stay safe. -Dave

base difficulty has reset overnight to a low level. GPU small ASIC solo miner boom.
Odd, did not see that much in a bump of what I usually get. I only check the miners once a week, it's 2 cpus, 2 moonlander2 and a NVidia 1650 card. Usually when you post the reset notice I come back to 75m to 100m coins. Now, barely at 25m. How long was is low for? Also, looks like the pool on the old chain has stopped. That or they stopped updating their stats page. Stay safe. -Dave

Fine you say you found the key to 3Mt3Z1gKp5W4a1UkCrBG9XoqMH9F5Gyupn Can you sign a message with it? If you can not you are a scammer and can go away.
If you can sign it you still probably are a scammer but at least you are one with 500,000 USD.

Is this device worth the $99.00? http://mynodebtc.com/products/premiumAsking for a friend. Real reviews from real users only, no shilling. It might be the cheapest way to start "staking" coins in Lightning, without the installation headache. I'll start with the tl;dr Yes, if for no other reason then to support the developer. And it does a lot with very little work on your part. If you run the VM or have an RPi with a GOOD external drive it's free. I would still pay to support the dev. You can do it all yourself but.... Dave's long rambling: I have 3 "nodes in a box" up at the moment 1 is the raspiblitz that I have spoken about in this and other threads. It's running on a RPi4 under a desk at home. I have 2 mynodes running. 1 paid for 1 not since I tinker and re-set it a lot. They are both virtualbox VMs but the RPi version is just as good. It's not just a lightning node. It also runs the Ride the Lightning webapp so you can use your lightning wallet from your local web browser. It also has Dojo and Whirlpool so you can connect your Samourai wallet to it. [still needs tweaking but it does work if you put in the time] Also, it's running an Electrum Server so you can connect that to it also. Along with some other apps. Now all of that put together has saved *me* WAYYYYY more then $100 in time. I don't know where you live and how much you get paid, but they have put it all together in once nice more or less click to run package. I could do it myself. Probably take days and days and not even have the nice web front end. For me that alone is worth it. YMMV on that. Also, with the paid version you get more "stuff" the TOR & VPN are nice and I do like having the local mempool.space explorer. So you do have to factor in the cost in your time to get those running if you wanted them. BTC pay server is also in the paid version, but for me I would always run that as a separate stand alone thing, but that is me. So yeah I would pay the $99. The $279 for the hardware with the APP....that's a tough call. RPi4 + 512GB Samsung SSD + SD card + 5A power adapter is less then $179 they are giving a 1TB but don't know the brand. And if there is a hardware issue I don't know their service. Also, again, not knowing where you are in the world changes price matters. Stay safe. -Dave

So, it appears that the Tangem card cannot be "reset" to regenerate a new key... instead it just arrives "as-is" with a preloaded key? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) That seems... "problematic". ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Still, they look nice ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) In that way they are closer to the opendime then a true hardware wallet. A better way of thinking about it is a rfid security device that you must have to send bitcoin. What I did not know (because I did not read they do not hide it) is that you can never get the private key. Need to sign a message. Nope, not from what I can see in the app. Another shitfork comes out, can't claim it. etc. -Dave

on a side note, do they even have auto-withdrawal to external wallets?
Yes you need at least 0.001 and they pay out once a week on Wednesday they make daily payouts if you have 0.1. Their fees are high (3%) on a 0.00132374 payout they took 0.00004094 but they pull that from every person they send to in the transaction. Take a look at txid 99da16adba8d6a71c6696e1c76d855043425ba13456dc064ac9f9699d44e1e04 and figure out what the 3% fee comes to. Stay safe. -Dave

I wonder if the Tangem Card's level of security has been put up to the test? I've seen that it's possible to steal information from RFID chips using a RFID scanner. Just like anyone with an RFID scanner is able to steal your credit card information (if it has an RFID chip), the same could be done with the Tangem Card. Unless the card itself has some level of encryption, I don't see it as a viable solution for storing crypto in the long term. It's always recommended to store small amounts of crypto on bearer instruments like the OpenDime or Tangem Card just to be safe. For serious crypto use, hardware wallets are unmatched for now. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) According to the FAQ on Tangem: What if somebody scans my Card and transfers the funds from it?
Not to worry - nobody will be able to transfer funds from your Card just by scanning it. Although checking the funds takes seconds, transferring them requires you to hold the Card against your phone for 15-30 seconds.
This is a security measure, its duration is configurable and it can be overridden by enabling a PIN-code on the Card (available on demand). So you can have some protection. The issue I see is that you NEED the Tangem app to unload that card. They disappear in the middle of the night that could be an issue. You can't even get your private key from the card. Once again from their FAQ: How can I backup the private key? You can neither import the private key into a Tangem Card nor export the private key -- so it’s completely impossible to have a copy. The architecture of each Tangem Card guarantees the chip inside is the only place in the universe where the unique key can ever be located. But yeah, they are nice looking. Part of why I bought them. Never going to store any crypto on them. It's not 100% not your keys not your coins but it's close. -Dave
