24 alternatives to RESTful Bitcoin payment channel server (written in Haskell)
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.…

x402▲119Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

Kotlin Money▲427Manipulating monetary amounts is a common computing chore. However, no mainstream language has a first-class data type for representing money, it’s up to programmers to code abstractions for it. This isn’t an issue per se until dealing with rounding issues from operations like installment payments (e.g., buy now, pay later), foreign exchange, or even simple things like fee processing and tax collection. Inspired by my days at N26 Brasil dealing with these challenges, I introduce Money: a Kotlin library that makes monetary calculations and allocations easy.

Hi HN, I built Small Transfers, a payments platform for SaaS / API makers who want to bill customers per request instead of pushing them into subscriptions or pre-buy packages. *Why?* - Many customers hate subscriptions and/or want to use a service occasionally. - Traditional payment processors add a fixed fee to every charge, making charges below 1 USD impractical. - Stripe UBB tracks usage, but you still need to write your own auth, add spending limits, and each merchant charges cards separately (extra fees for customers). *How it works?* - Each merchant has a Small Transfers…

Zoneless▲111Hey, I'm Ben. I built Zoneless because I was paying so much to use Stripe Connect on my own marketplace. The fees were really, really bad, and it was also limiting in terms of the seller countries I could onboard. To give you an idea, I was paying around $9,000 per month in fees just to run payouts. Using Zoneless, that cost goes down to around $6. I've been using it personally for the past few months, and onboarded 5,000+ sellers and done 3,000+ payouts. 74% of new sellers on my marketplace choose Zoneless over Stripe, which is really interesting. I appreciate crypto and stablecoins are a…

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…
