## ⚠️ 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. |
