BTCPay's mission is non-custodial solutions for merchants. LN scales bitcoin to more payments. But most merchants don't run their own servers. Yet non-custodial mobile LN is HARD. LDK enables this! BTCPay + LDK is a great marriage.

[BTCPay Server @BtcpayServer]

🚨Not everyone knows how to deploy a server, but everyone can run an app on their phone⚡️

We've teamed up with @spiralbtc & @lightningdevkit and began working on the BTCPay App.

Aiming to replicate the success and impact of the BTCPay Server for e-commerce payments, the BTCPay App is laser-focused on brick-and-mortar business.

To scale #bitcoin effectively, lightning must be user-friendly and non-custodial for mom-and-pop stores!

We're beginning a long journey, but it's the only way to stay on track with our mission -ensuring anyone can accept bitcoin, anywhere, anytime without intermediaries. 🚀

If you know anything about the SGX environment, you know what @phlip9 and @MaxFangX pulled off is nothing short of a miracle.

All to bring to life a trust-minimized Lightning node with the properties of an always-online node.

Mutiny is now easier to self host!

We've re-engineered our storage solution, VSS, to run on a normal host, rather than Cloudflare's beta D1 service. Everything has been running smoothly since we migrated. Let us know if you have any issues.

Great post describing how Mutiny improved payment success by tuning the knobs of @lightningdevkit

Incredible that there are 4x as many women that own #bitcoin than men in India per this research https://t.co/M1BL6vi6UC

Guess who’s back. See everyone in November!

Reminds me of how easy it is to think you've anonymized GPS data only to realize people can pretty easily be identified when mixing with other data sources.

[Bitcoin Design Community @bitcoin_design]

Fees are tricky in bitcoin, and lightning makes them even more complex. We updated the "Send fees" page with extra details around different scenarios, and how to design for them. Contextually appropriate explainers and options are the key. https://t.co/veGVrjoZu8

Welcome @not_nothingmuch! Stoked to have you on the team.

[Philip Hayes @phlip9]

@moneyball @lexeapp @lightningdevkit Huge shoutouts to @lightningdevkit - @lexeapp wouldn't be possible without it! ❤️

[Philip Hayes @phlip9]

@maxfangx and I been cooking a little somethin 👀

It's a new kind of lightning wallet ⚡️ that runs in a secure enclave in the cloud. We never see your keys. Receive payments whenever. Never think about channels again. Check it out : )

[Steve Lee @moneyball]

Building with @lightningdevkit!

[Mat Balez @matbalez]

I’m excited to launch a little project with my friend @nevesrodrigues today.

It is our attempt to start a conversation about how we, humans, live in a future world with advanced AI all around us.

We love AI. But we also love humanity.

We want to be champions of.. us.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]
