Getting Started

Ready to set up your TollGate? We have two guides to help you out:

• Quickstart Guide (TollGate OS): For a fresh install on a dedicated router.

• Quickstart Guide (Basic Module): For installing the module on an existing OpenWrt system.

Known Issue: Cashu Note Compatibility

There is a known interoperability issue with notes from some newer Cashu wallets.

The TollGate expects e-cash notes to begin with cashuA or cashuB. Some wallets now provide a string that starts with cashu:cashu....

Workaround: Users must manually remove the cashu: prefix from the note before submitting it to the TollGate.

This will be fixed in our next release.
