- xur17 6y agoThe BitPay outcry is totally warranted. If the PineTab folks are reading this, I highly recommend taking a look at OpenNode. It's an api much like BitPay (but without all of their issues). They charge a small fee, and give you USD.
- 0xdeadb00f 6y ago> The BitPay outcry is totally warranted. I seem to be OOTL. What happened with BitPay?
- xur17 6y agoThey designed their own payment protocol that only works with their wallet. Their original intention was to make the payment processor better (a laudable goal), but no one has adopted it at this point. This means the vast majority of users see a bitpay invoice, and can't figure out how to pay it with their bitcoin wallets.
- thinkmassive 6y agoYep, look up BIP-70 for more details.
- thinkmassive 6y agoOpenNode is better than BitPay, but the Pine64 folks are very technically competent and could easily handle running their own BtcPayServer instance. I hope they go that route, although I’ll understand if they start with a managed service until the demand for accepting Bitcoin is proven.
