Products that do what Dead simple Bitcoin payroll does
Hey everyone! We're the folks from Codelitt Incubator. We pay several of our employees either entirely or partially in BTC. This is a huge pain every month when we run payroll. Normally it consists of a wire to Bitstamp (which includes a steep fee), buying the BTC on Bitstamp, sending to our company wallet, collecting receiving addresses, and then paying our employees. Because of this we're building a dead simple BTC Payroll. Our main goal is to make it easy for you to request that your employer pays you in BTC (partially or completely). We don't hold any money nor Bitcoins. It all happens…

A friend(@wolever) and I spent the weekend hacking up a small web app which makes it easy for you to sell digital goods for Bitcoins. Once a customer has clicked the “buy” button, we take care of giving them a unique address, monitoring that address for transactions, then securely notifying your website once a minimum number of confirmations have been received. Oh, ya, and then we send you the Bitcoins :) The website is here: BitWillet: http://www.bitwillet.com and there is a demo on the front page. (full disclosure: BitWillet uses the Willet, http://dev.getwillet.com, platform, of which I…

I built this over the weekend. Any feedback is appreciated. Please note you will need a WebGL enabled browser. Thank you for checking it out. --UPDATE-- HN Traffic is strangling earthbit. There is sporadic downtime due to the web services I am using, if no transactions appear after a few seconds, then please try again in an hour.

GitHub repo: https://github.com/runeksvendsen/restful-payment-channel-server Hello everyone This server allows the operator to receive instant Bitcoin payments (no waiting for confirmations) from a single, pre-defined sender; paying the Bitcoin transaction fee only once, when the channel is closed. One could imagine, for example, setting up a service which sends video in response to payments, the first minute being free (if you have an open payment channel), and then charging, say 0.1 cent per second thereafter. That's trustless pay-per-view. Pretty cool, if you ask me.…

It's time for a better Venmo/PayPal... One that is globally accessible, makes you money and takes a cut of the profit instead of screwing you with fees and bad conversion rates I made the iOS + web app and I'm handing it to you Send USDC via email Btwn Friends is an open-sourced PayPal/Venmo alternative that let's you send stablecoins to anyone's email without them being on the app, having a wallet or knowing about crypto. Here's how it works Every P2P payment app makes you create an account, save 12 words, link to a wallet app, KYC, transfer gas tokens... It's intimidating and too…

I started DCA’ing into BTC many years ago. I kept missing buys, buying emotionally into pumps, and forgetting during chop. So I wrote a simple script that hit an exchange API once a day with a fixed amount. Friends asked to use it, so I generalized it and added a DB to manage multiple users. Why I didn’t use existing tools: Most options I tried were either locked to one exchange or did fixed-amount DCA with naive execution. I wanted multi-exchange support and a way to scale buys during dips and preserve capital during rips. I also kept running into inconsistent API rate limits and…

The Problem Nobody Talks About You want to accept a $10,000 USDC payment. You have two options: Option A: Integrate a payment processor like Coinbase Commerce. Set up an account, embed their checkout widget, handle their SDK. Pay $100 in fees (1%). Option B: Build your own blockchain listener. Learn ethers.js, subscribe to USDC transfer events, handle reorgs, confirmations, edge cases. Two weeks of work, minimum. There's no middle ground. No service that just tells you: "Yes, this specific payment arrived." Until now. https://paywatcher.dev?utm_source=hackernews

Show HN: I crafted the simplest way to Gift Bitcoin this Christmas The link is: www.spreadthecoin.com For the past two weeks, I have been building a Bitcoin Christmas(/Happy Holidays) Card company --> and it has just launched (today) at www.spreadthecoin.com . The "Certificate" makes it easy for Bitcoiners to give their friends and family their first Bitcoin (with suggestions on how to spend/use it)! It is meant to play-well with home-printers and can suffice as a last-minute gift idea. I think that Christmas morning/Hanukkah is an excellent opportunity to gift coins to…
