Hosting e-commerce with bitcoin is actually so hard and expensive, it's stupid.

"Just integrate BTCPayServer with Shopify!"

Shopify: $40/month minimum. Customization of the template adds greater upfront cost.

BTCPayServer: Requires bitcoin full node, a lightning node, an NBXplorer indexer, and a place to host. Most people just lease a lightning node in the cloud, like with LunaNode, which is like an $20 a month and you STILL have to manage channels and liquidity.

This is insane. Why the fuck is it like this. It's like we've been making internet native currency work like shit. On the internet. As currency.

the on-chain + LN stack for BTCPay is genuinely heavy. some shops skip the full node by pointing BTCPay at a trusted Electrum server, which cuts hosting cost a bit. still doesn't solve channel liquidity management though.

Shopify's $40/month minimum is a small price to pay for enslavement to Visa and Goldman Sachs.

Eso es incorrecto, la integración de BTCPayServer es gratuita y escalable.
