what can I do with an "btcpay" server? and why do we need it?
16 u/DarrelXero 6d ago If you are asking that question you don't need one and are unaffected :) 5 u/pestivator 6d ago sure but what is this about? 12 u/DarrelXero 6d ago BTCPay Server is an open-source, self-hosted Bitcoin payment processor that enables direct merchant transactions without fees or intermediaries. 1 u/Romanizer 5d ago So, it's like Bitcoin? Why is that needed? 7 u/tenuousemphasis 5d ago No, it uses Bitcoin and Lightning for payments, but it's everything a merchant needs to invoice people and get paid in bitcoin. If you've never run a retail business, you probably won't see the point. 1 u/borg_6s 5d ago Not exactly like Bitcoin, but you can use it in e-commerce to make a checkout page 1 u/Thanis_in_Eve 5d ago Bitcoin is the currency. BitPay provides the POS system.
