Thanks in advance for checking it out and let me know if you have any feedback!

I found this idea interesting. But the site seems a little big. And this background animation is exaggerated and unnecessary. Such a service would be interesting to access directly from the mobile, perhaps with just one app. So the page could be simpler.

Another issue is about not being able to see and test the platform before paying. When I click to sign up, I'll ask for $ 50. I do not know and do not trust the website to pay only to test and get to know the service.

Good point!  There is a try it now button that opens a mainnet demo - https://gigme.io/app/#/register - you can check it out there!

Thanks for the feedback!

On the website, you mention that it's possible to run this on your own hardware.
Do you get that option when you buy a $50 lifetime license?

What are the requirements to run this on your own hardware?

[pwkad]

Absolutely, $50 lifetime license allows you to run the software anywhere you choose, firstly on your own hardware, secondly in VPS if you choose later.

Only real requirements for the beta are currently having an LND node running or being able to run one on the target machine including a full bitcoind node (LND does not currently support pruned modes on mainnet AFAIK).   For the beta`docker-compose` needs to be installed to allow easy patch fixes.

The application itself runs as a very light-weight node.js API on top of the LND node via gRpc and static HTML / JS files that are served to the browser so no additional ram or storage requirements.
