## The Hook

BTCPay Server is Bitcoin checkout without a processor taking a cut.

## What's Good

MIT. Self-hosted crypto payments to your wallet. On-chain and Lightning (LND, Core Lightning, Eclair). 0% software fees. No KYC, non-custodial. Invoices, POS, donation buttons. You run it or use a shared host.

## The Catch

Bitcoin and Lightning to your wallet — not card rails, not a PSP. Distinct from Polar (MoR cards) and Hyperswitch (card orchestration). You operate a node. Network miner fees still exist.

## Verdict

MIT Bitcoin/LN checkout. 0% to the software; the node is yours.
