Been brainstorming solutions for @Bitcoin Beans and thought it’d be a good idea to #asknostr too.

If you’re a merchant with unreliable internet, what’s a good no-KYC setup to accept payments?

So far I’ve got:
🟠 Alby Cloud
🟠 ZEUS node in the phone
🟠 BTCPay Server on a VPS

Would love to hear your thoughts with any pros and cons. I plan to create a longform post at some point so other merchants can refer to it in the future. 🧡🤙

Same experience here too with kraken since 1 Jan 2026, way more requests for info including tax reference number. With the help of nostr:npub15ypxpg429uyjmp0zczuza902chuvvr4pn35wfzv8rx6cej4z8clq6jmpcx we are going to go full NKYC this year.

From my experiences recently…. Zeus invoices from the node in the phone are unreliable unfortunately… The pos functionality in Zeus is ecash/cashu based now(?) haven’t tried to use it yet as I don’t really want to use ecash/cashu as it’s still way to beta softwarey for me… Kinda not sure...

Ecash can be nice when internet is unreliable since payments can be received offline. Not good for large amounts though so it might be best to use ecash as the POS and transfer balances to self-custody lightning when internet allows.

You could use a VPS hosting a BTC server. Then it won't matter if you have good local internet. I've had good luck with Racknerd and it is a cheap option. Here is an affiliate link if you want to check it out. https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=4057

What are you running nowadays nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9? Last I checked, you stopped using Zaprite.
