Damnit, PayPal closed our account we used for our my.lnbits.com SaaS subscriptions. Stripe did the same. Being bitcoin "adjacent" was enough, even though we are just spinning up software. I hate fiatland so much, we are spoiled making bitcoin things without trusted third parties. Will Square be less irrational @jack ? We started adding Square support to LNbits, and will use for software subscriptions.

LNbitsPoS now supports native silent printing and cash validation. This PoS is all I use in my own shop. Overview/setup guide covering all the features: ✅ Lightning / Onchain / Fiat / Cash ✅ Silent printing ✅ ATM mode ✅ Improved pairing & setup

Im no royalist, but Charlie's speach was a masterclass. If WW3 doesnt happen, historians could very well credit his speach as the influence that swayed Trump to be more moderate. Standing ovations from both sides of the aisle for Ukraine, Nato and the enviroment. Lots of historical context stuff on actions/consequences. All without antagonizing Trump 👌

This is a great device, spec was an affordable offline pos for unbanked. Its pretty perfect, although we will update the device to be a bit leaner. View quoted note →

How I run my entire brick & mortar using ONLY LNbits (and its better than the legacy merchant systems i used to use) ✅ Fiat + Bitcoin payments (PoS & web) ✅ Shared inventory + order management ✅ Customer chat with paid support ✅ Notifications for orders, stock, and chat via Nstr/email/Telegram ✅ Stock & task management for employees ✅ Auto sync to Xero for easy reconciliation

Our docs have had a long overdue makeover. Absolutely beautiful work @DrShift

LNbits SaaS had a HUGE update. ✅️ Instant Spark L2 support, send/receive payments immediately, perfect for onboarding 👌 ✅️ Custom domains available ✅️ Bitcoin or fiat subscriptions (LNbits supports 20(ish) funding sources already, so soon the SaaS will also have instant/auto Boltz and Phoenixd support)

I like all this soverign software talk by countries. All citizens need to do is prefix a "self" and liberate themselves with self-sovereign software. View quoted note →

WOW! French Gov is going to switch 2.5m computers from Microsoft to Linux. I'm sure other countries will follow. Less reliance on US, saves money, more secure. That's all french gov workers using Linux 🤯 2026 is the year the worlds shitty IT goes FOSS 💪

A small overview of just how powerful the LNbits merchant stack has become 🔥 Thank you to all the contributors who made this possible 🙏

Fiat tap to pay in LNbits means merchants no longer need multiple payment systems. One inventory, one accounts system. I've been using nothing but LNbits in my brick/mortar for a few months and its perfect. I have a shared inventory and orders extension for the pos and webshop, as well as notifications (nostr, email) when there is a sale/order, or I have low stock 🥰

Sebastian Sawe ran a marathon in under 2hrs today. Mad how humans set new benchmarks which were thought impossible.

I like drivechains, but Paul forking bitcoin and taking satoshis coins, rather than adjusting how he presents bip300 will just make it less likely bitcoiners will accept bip300. The ecash name is troublesome as well, designed to antagonise bitcoiners. + someone will do the same fork without stealing satoshis coins, which will dilute his own community of forkers. 🍿 time I suppose
