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.

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 💪

France's move to ditch Windows for Linux is its latest effort to reduce its reliance on American tech giants.
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.

Sabastian Sawe breaks two-hour barrier to make history in London Marathon

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
Wales was the first country in the world to have a single coastal path around its entire coast. Scotland has a universal “right to roam”, and now England has created a single coastal path too.
If you walked 15 miles per day, you could walk the whole coastline of Britain in 2 years! This will be my sabbatical.

In bitcoin, we’ve normalised agents being able to make payments and hold money, but we massively underestimate how profound this is.
Doing the same with fiat is incredibly complicated, almost impossible.
The R&D we are unlocking by taking this power for granted is huge.
