I can confirm that this set up is amazing. I set up two merchants today using blinkbtc (npub13lj…cfhw) and btcpayserver (npub155m…dcvg). If you're pushing adoption with merchants in your area, you'd be hard pressed to find an easier setup. 👏

Huge thanks to nicolas (npub190d…09r3) kukks (npub1y24…z2ad) and ROCKSTAR (npub1j8y…vrvg) for making this happen!

For all the merchants looking to accept Lightning in their btcpayserver (npub155m…dcvg) stores, I highly recommend checking out this newly launched plugin from blinkbtc (npub13lj…cfhw)!

This is a HUGE deal - once you have Blink account and tie it through Lightning connection, not only can you seamlessly accept payments without worrying about channel management and liquidity, but you also have the option to hedge in StableSats USD.

Here's a trailer showcasing the plugin in action:



And then blog post on Blink's website explains all the details of setup and vision behind plugin: https://www.blink.sv/blog/introducing-the-blink-plugin-for-btcpay-server

So far in my own testing everything is working very smoothly; I'll continue to explore and play with the tech, as this has absolute potential for use in all my merchant setups and workshops at the conferences.

Finally - h/t to kukks (npub1y24…z2ad) who is the coding powerhouse behind the plugin. It's all FOSS, so check out git repo on: https://github.com/Kukks/BTCPayServerPlugins/tree/master/Plugins/BTCPayServer.Plugins.Blink
