Introducing Take My Sats — a #bitcoin-only ecommerce platform. If you told me a year ago when I left Shopify that I’d be building the platform for bitcoiners, I wouldn’t have believed you. But as we know, it’s gradually then suddenly. So here we are. The website is now entering its beta phase and coming out the gate with the following features: 🟠 Nostr login 🟠 Lightning address, NWC, and BTCPay payment integrations (Note: If using a Lightning address, it needs to support LNURL-verify) 🟠 @Branta verification 🟠 Pay for and create shipping labels via Bitcoin Postage 🟠 Support for promo codes 🟠 Store analytics BETA ACCESS: To get access, zap this note 2100 sats and I’ll get you set up with a store. SPECIAL OFFER: In the spirit of long time preference, I purchased the domain for the max amount of 5 years. If you’re bullish on what I’m building and would like to support, you can lock in a Pleb Plan for five years for 100K sats. I’ll also come up with a nice badge to display on your storefront. Thank you to my alpha testers, you will continue to have access throughout the beta phase. @Arotags @Small Batch Steve @DeAllen Young @Oshi (推し) Finally, thank you for reading this note and for your continued support. Let’s keep building. 🫡

hi.. two question ... what does this mean: "but not auto confirming" and which application are you thinking to use LNURL-verify with?
". The payment is arriving however not verifying " can you explain this in more detail? do you know how I could see the source code for "takemysats.com" -- is it using NWC to generate the invoice? Oh. I think I know your question. I think you are possibly generating an invoice with just your Rizful Lightning address. This is OK, but the issue is the LNURL-verify has some security implications.. it's much better to do this with NWC.... as an LLM "how do I generate an invoice with a read-only NWC string, and then how do I poll the NWC to find out when the invoice has been paid, and/or listen for notifications from the NWC service to be notified when the invoice has been paid".... relevant docs for Rizful here , regarding getting a read-only NWC string
✅ Listing added ✅ NWC linked ✅ Bitcoin Postage API connected Arotags is officially open for business on Take My Sats. Who will be our first order? Just in time for Christmas gifts 🎄 Thanks @thebullishbitcoiner! #scentsforsats View quoted note →

I think you can use your Keychat ID to sign up for and log in to Take My Sats. image
It sounds promising, but you can do better :-). Here is a small example of the different ways to log in or create an account that we are currently using in a small local market. image
This could be a game changer for US. We ship from Colombia to the US using DHL and this explode ourselves to dirty FIAT. Could it be possible that through this channel we could actually do the process paying in BTC? That would be unreal because it would mean almost 100% of our costs would be denominated in BTC. I need to explore this a little further. But exciting!

Hey Bullish. I am on Amethyst and I think I can only zap 1000's, 500's and 100's. Are you doing this manuallly, can I do a total of 2100?
Many paths to same place. What works for one doesn’t work for all. Each chooses how they use #Bitcoin Hence the beauty Thanks #Satoshi An example below ⬇️ image
Question 1: since I chose the digital product, I didn't see any button to upload the file. Should I send them manually or can I upload at the page or provide my link in order for them to download the file? Question 2: I was trying to pay with different browsers and some of them, the invoice, once you paid, it doesn't confirm the transaction, even if my wallet shows that it's been sent correctly. Is this something of myself or is it something wrong with the page?
1. Great question. I haven’t added support for that yet, but I will work on it soon. 2. What wallet are you using? If you’re using the “Lightning Address” payment method, only a handful of wallets support payment confirmation. If you’re not using any of the ones listed in the screenshot, maybe you can try NWC. image
Can you provide any more details on the issues you saw? Is the issue reproducible like you could give me directions and I could try the same thing myself and see the same problem? Thanks
Awesome, I was hoping someone would build something like this..tools for any human to run a storefront and get BTC without permission.

Sweeeet. When I try “Login with Nostr” it gives me a “Invalid value for bounds. Bounds must be at least 50% within visible screen space.” error??

Brave seems to be the cause of the issue 🤔 Login worked fine on Firefox

Let’s go! @snorkel will get our site up soon. Let’s see the bitcoin circular economy see some ignition. LFG🔥🔥
Nice. So the store means that we will be able to set up our own service there? Like people will be able to pay for our service in that store?
This brings up good points about security and control of messaging. If DMs include the details of each purchase and shipping address and name perhaps that is stored with the instance alone but those get relayed about, right? Seems like there almost needs to be a layer of encryption (there may be already) where both profiles need to be active and in agreement for a DM to be decodable so some DMs could be "orphaned/unreadable" due to other side npub becoming inactive or abandoned (due to nsec change, user inactivity etc) and that would be the verification or proof of life on account. Is that a NIP?
Love this - maybe the clearest bitcoin native Shopify replacement yet. Nostr login + zap-to-beta is clean. Tools like this plus strong @PRobot-style storytelling will onboard a lot of merchants.
Would be cool if there was a way to make a unique hash for each ticket and generate a qr from it. That hash is only decryptable by the key set by the event coordinator. I think this would work for simple ticket validation at this point in time?
Entropy can be Event Code issued by TMS + ticket holder name + ticket# nonce (001, 002 003 etc) + secretcode
We are all set on Take My Sats! You can now order cute & high-quality #Bitcoin pins just in time for Christmas 🎄 Use code XMAS2000 to save 2000 sats 🎁 Huge thanks to @The Bullish ₿itcoiner — the site is awesome and incredibly easy to use No node? @Alby Hub makes receiving payments fast & painless. ✅ 100% recommended 💜 Spend some sats and support independent #Bitcoin & #Nostr creators. Let’s build the future we want to see. image View quoted note →

Hey Bullish. Only found time to config my store today. However... When I try and sign in with nostr, it says " No account found for this Nostr key. Please sign up first." I am using nos2x to sign me in.

Yes. Was me. I'm in! I find sometime I need to blame someone else before I am ready to realise its all my fault.. 😀
Interesting! Is there any way I could connect this with my photography & merch stores somehow? Or does this only work for people who handle their own shipping & back-end? gallery.benwehrman.com merch.benwehrman.com
Yes. I want to offer my service where people can pay with their regular payment options but when they pay me its right away traded for BTC or any other currency I want to get paid in. I know regulators won't allow it tho
