What is this doing? This is actually pretty wild and impressive. If a vendor wants to accept Bitcoin payments but also needs to use fiat to pay their suppliers and bills, they can automatically convert their Bitcoin payments to stablecoins with BTCpay server's Sideshift plugin. In this example, a portion of payments on my online store will automatically be converted to USDt and sent to my @Blockstream Green Wallet, another portion of sats will be sent to my Bitcoin node running at my house, and 10% will go to @OpenSats to support open source software development.

Prime example of - Innovate, don’t regulate. Friction is big business in Luddite fiat. Inevitably, we will dismantle that.

Thank you, I'll check it out. I think I'd prefer to run my own node. I'll see how it goes & fits together. Still learning!
Absolutely. If you can run your own node then I'd recommend that. If you need any help with either your Lightning node or setting up BTCPay server let me know and I can help. 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, very generous. Is there a "how to" available?

And what sort of hardware would be required? I have a couple of rpi's spare ( a 3b+ & 4b), would they be sufficient?
