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.
This is actually really useful. I'm impressed. But also to do this in the USA, you'd need to use a VPN because this is technically frowned upon 🤣
Dear feds: This is just a demo.
I really need to work out how to do this for my own store (not yet open - but soon)
It's super easy! You don't even need to run your own node if you don't want to. You can deploy BTCPay server via LunaNode and use Alby as your Lightning node.
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?
Try with with server like old hp minidesk or any other reliable hardware. Raspi works as well but if it’s to be more reliable I will run on bit robust haraare.
Hard ware****
Sufficient, yes, but honestly I'd recommend something with a tiny bit more power for the best experience. A small Intel NUC or an old laptop work well.
Your dime boss man.
Whichever fits the budget 

Amazing feature
I have an old thinkpad R61 4gb ram core2duo.
How do you go from USDt to paying bills in USD?
Nice work
