Self-custodial Bitcoin payments, no BTCPay required

Just built a no-middleman, privacy-respecting Bitcoin payment method for indie devs!

This one’s for the indie devs, bloggers, and builders.

BTCPay Server is brilliant - but it’s a lot, especially if you’re just getting started with Bitcoin payments. I wanted something lighter: a way to accept on-chain Bitcoin privately, without middlemen, address reuse, or complex infrastructure.

So I built it using a single XPUB, a serverless function, and some frontend code - all self-custodial, all free.

Here’s the guide:
→ Private, serverless Bitcoin payments for indie devs

The full source code is included on GitHub, so you can clone it and go live quickly.

No VPS. No third-party gateways. Just sovereign Bitcoin donations that actually respect your privacy.

Hope it’s useful.
