Been brainstorming solutions for @Bitcoin Beans and thought it’d be a good idea to #asknostr too. If you’re a merchant with unreliable internet, what’s a good no-KYC setup to accept payments? So far I’ve got: 🟠 Alby Cloud 🟠 ZEUS node in the phone 🟠 BTCPay Server on a VPS Would love to hear your thoughts with any pros and cons. I plan to create a longform post at some point so other merchants can refer to it in the future. 🧡🤙

Same experience here too with kraken since 1 Jan 2026, way more requests for info including tax reference number. With the help of @The Bullish ₿itcoiner we are going to go full NKYC this year.

You could use a VPS hosting a BTC server. Then it won't matter if you have good local internet. I've had good luck with Racknerd and it is a cheap option. Here is an affiliate link if you want to check it out. https://my.racknerd.com/aff.php?aff=4057

Getting a umbrel or start9 hosting your own stuff fully but needs more knowledge and time But it be almost bulletproof .. Or use like minibits to get a lightning address use minibits with lightning or Ecash And it can use NFC payments now so for small businesses it could become big .. But would need to move it to a full on-chain wallet regularly for safety
