My BTCPay server instance hosts 5 merchants: my store, a barber, a brewery, a pottery studio, and now Bitcoin third space. I dont custody anyone else's funds. All from a small server in my living room.

Good on you. A non technical dude in our meetup went around setting it up for people and made himself the custodian. Super fucked.
oof. Malicious or naive?
Depends who you ask and when lol.
Over-zealous for sure and constantly out if their depth technically. Like once they did a github presentation even though they are not a developer by any means. This was pre vibe coding.
I'm reminded of the heirarchy of competence.

Unconcious incompetence is only a flaw if people say "hey, maybe you should let someone else take the lead on this" and then you go out spreading your retardation lol.
Indeed!
Very cool! Where do the funds go? Do the merchants run their own node? Use Boltz? Blink? Ark? Something else?
Aqua so far. So boltz > liquid technically. But they can easily swap it, pretty sure they can schedule swaps via btcpay.
Thank you for that explanation! I’ve tried out Ark and Blink, will also try out Aqua!
NP. The Samrock plugin made it easy.
Liquidity to Boltz can be pretty bad. Has that ever been an issue?
Depends on the payer. My experience has been pretty good but I cheat by having a channel directly with them.
