Whenever I see a project, website, or simple tool being made available and they have a "buy me a coffee" or "leave a tip" button my brain always immediately pops open my Alby... and then i click to find they want a credit card and all my details and I want to slap somebody. Why are we still doing this? How do they not know that Lightning is super easy and takes a second? I refuse to tip anyone for any project if they don't use BTC/LN now, its just stupid at this point. That I have to put in all my credit card details in, put myself at risk, while an absurd fee gets taken to send you 50¢ of the $1 I tried to send? Just no. I'm done tipping fiat.

Imagine how much the news industry could make for charging per article in Lightning instead of monthly subscription. It may even end the whole clickbait divisiveness of the last ten years because the incentive model will have changed.

One easy way is to get set up with Alby, you will then have a page like this where people can donate: https://getalby.com/p/acronym https://getalby.com

Yeah, and why is “librepay” not bitcoin enabled?!
The very fastest way would be to use a service until you dig further into the details and withdraw occasionally to a non-custodial wallet. Example setup that will work in minutes: • I'm a huge fan of the Alby browser extension. Download and create an account. You will receive what looks like an email address underneath the "accounts" section that ends with "[email protected]" • Copy/Paste that address onto a website or in a tip jar window for whatever you are hoping to receive donations for. • Then download the Phoenix wallet on your mobile phone (its a non-custodial lightning wallet) • Backup your seed/wallet on Phoenix, then when you have $20 or so worth of tips in your Alby after a few people send you some sats, send it to your Phoenix wallet. • Rinse and repeat When your Phoenix wallet has a lot of sats, a meaningful amount, then send it to your cold storage simply by putting in a BTC address and it will automatically do a swap for you.

Excellent
Thanks, I actually feel a little dumb that the answer was so straightforward, I guess the next step is to learn how to accept payments for specific services with invoices
Check out BTCPayServer there, or run a node and check out LNBits. The latter is a simpler setup with a lot of simple extension style features 👇
Very cool, will check it out, thanks again :)

I gave up PayPal last year after 20 years and I see similar things. Sometimes I use Fold but small transactions would be better. When my node says I routed a transaction and I get 1.023 sats I am really happy. Sats really are a miracle. Lightning nodes for self hosting aren't easy (for people who over think things... Me) but they are rewarding. Learning to be the bank is exciting.
