New release: Bitcoin Serverless Payments

Revamped my simple Bitcoin payments library - easier setup, still private, free and self-custodial.

Hey everyone.

Back in July, I shared a simple proof-of-concept for accepting Bitcoin donations privately - no address reuse, no fees, and no intermediaries. It worked, but setting it up was a bit clunky (you had to pre-generate addresses in Sparrow).

Not anymore.

The new version only needs your extended public key (XPUB) to get started. There’s now a one-click backend installer and an npm package for the frontend (or a JS snippet you can just copy/paste). It’s still free, private, and fully self-custodial - just much easier to use.

Check it out here:

• 💻 Code on Github

Hope it’s useful. Feedback is always welcome - I’ll keep improving it and adding features.

Thanks for reading!
