## ⚠️ Manual Steps Required in BTCPay Admin

To complete the setup and start accepting payments, you need to configure wallets through the BTCPay web interface:

### For Bitcoin (Immediate Setup - No Sync Required)

1. **Login to BTCPay**: https://thebankofdebbie.giize.com
2. **Navigate to**: Store Settings → Wallets → Bitcoin
3. **Choose Setup Method**:
   - Click "Connect an existing wallet"
   - Select "Enter extended public key"
4. **Enter Your xpub/zpub**:
   - For testing: `xpub661MyMwAqRbcFW31YEwpkMuc5THy2PSt5bDMsktWQcFF8syAmRUapSCGu8ED9W6oDMSgv6Zz8idoc4a6mr8BDzTJY47LJhkJ8UB7WEGuduB`
   - For production: Generate from your hardware wallet or Bitcoin Core
5. **Configure Derivation**:
   - Account Key Path: `m/84'/0'/0'` (for native segwit)
   - Or use Legacy: `m/44'/0'/0'`
6. **Save Configuration**

### For Monero (Requires View Key)

1. **Navigate to**: Store Settings → Wallets → Monero
2. **Configure Wallet**:
   - Primary Address: Your Monero address
   - View Key: Your private view key (for incoming payment detection)
3. **Save Configuration**

## Alternative: Use External Services (Fastest)

If you need immediate operation without any node syncing:

### Option 1: BTCPay Server Demo (Immediate)
1. Use BTCPay's demo server: https://testnet.demo.btcpayserver.org
2. Create account and store
3. Update LittleShop configuration with new credentials

### Option 2: Third-Party BTCPay Host
- Voltage: https://voltage.cloud
- LunaNode: https://www.lunanode.com
- BTCPayJungle: https://btcpayjungle.com

### Option 3: Electrum Personal Server
1. Install Electrum Personal Server locally
2. Connect it to public Electrum servers via Tor
3. Configure BTCPay to use your EPS instance

## Current Payment Status

- **Bitcoin**: ❌ Requires wallet configuration (xpub/zpub)
- **Monero**: ❌ Requires wallet configuration (address + view key)
- **API Connection**: ✅ Working
- **Invoice Creation**: Will work after wallet setup

## Monitoring Commands

```bash
# Check Bitcoin sync progress
ssh -i /silverlabs/src/LittleShop/Hostinger/vps_hardening_key -p 2255 sysadmin@thebankofdebbie.giize.com \
  "docker logs btcpayserver_bitcoind --tail 5 | grep progress"

# Check Tor status
ssh -i /silverlabs/src/LittleShop/Hostinger/vps_hardening_key -p 2255 sysadmin@thebankofdebbie.giize.com \
  "docker logs tor --tail 5"

# Check Monero wallet
ssh -i /silverlabs/src/LittleShop/Hostinger/vps_hardening_key -p 2255 sysadmin@thebankofdebbie.giize.com \
  "docker logs monero_wallet_remote --tail 5"

# Test BTCPay connection
curl https://thebankofdebbie.giize.com/api/v1/stores \
  -H "Authorization: token db920209c0101efdbd1c6b6d1c99a48e3ba9d0de"
```

## Summary

The infrastructure is ready with external node connectivity via Tor. However, BTCPay requires wallet configuration through its web interface to start accepting payments. You can either:

1. **Configure watch-only wallets** (xpub for Bitcoin, view key for Monero) - Immediate
2. **Wait for local Bitcoin sync** to complete (~2-3 weeks) - Most private
3. **Use external BTCPay service** temporarily - Fastest

The system is designed for privacy with all external connections routed through Tor.
