10 years ago, in November 2016, BTCfactura.com was born - a "hard fork" of PPay.ro. PPay.ro had been running since 2013 as a top-up and voucher platform. We added Bitcoin in October 2014. But customers wanted something more specific: paying utility bills with Bitcoin. That's how BTCfactura.com came to be. A few milestones from the past 10 years: - 2017: moved to self-hosted BTCPay Server - no custody, no processing fee at our node - 2020: Transylvania Lightning node cited by CoinDesk in "Lightning Operators Are Bracing for a Bitcoin Bull Run" - 2026: BTCfactura included in the Breez SDK Class of Q3 2026 - alongside global Lightning projects The model never changed: Bitcoin direct, no middlemen, for real things - electricity, gas, internet bills, or vouchers and pins. Thank you to everyone who paid with sats over these years. 🧡 btcfactura.com
