  • mempool

    Explore the full Bitcoin ecosystem with mempool.space, or self-host your own instance with one-click installation on popular Raspberry Pi fullnode distros including Umbrel, Raspiblitz, Start9, and more!

    • Its using Lightning network which is an L2 solution for the BTC network. Fees are micropennies usually, and if you wanted to transact on chain its still just a few pennies: https://mempool.space/

  • umbrel

    A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, any Ubuntu/Debian system, or a VPS.

    • Umbrel will be best option for non technical user.

  • InfluxDB

  • lnbits-legend

    Discontinued LNbits, free and open-source lightning-network wallet/accounts system. [Moved to: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits]

    • Lightning invoices and wallets can be generated in seconds using: https://lnbits.com/

  • bisq

    A decentralized bitcoin exchange network

    • Bisq: https://bisq.network/

  • raspiblitz

    Get your own Bitcoin & Lightning Node running - on a RaspberryPi with a nice LCD

    • I built a https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz which is now just running on a shelf at home. It was pretty easy, though I'm used to work with Linux, so I'm probably not the right person to ask that.

  • BTCPay Server

    Accept Bitcoin payments. Free, open-source & self-hosted, Bitcoin payment processor.

    • Yes the machine needs to support whatever program/device you're trying to make work with it and that is not always easy based on the sheer age of most POS systems. Most businesses are likely using something like BTCPAY: https://btcpayserver.org/ and linking it internally to a company app or having their workers able to generate QRs off the main server
