   • BTCPay will show "Bitcoin node is syncing" until complete
   • Can still configure stores while syncing

2. Configure BTCPay Store

   • Access: https://thebankofdebbie.giize.com (via NPM)
   • Create admin account if not done
   • Add store and configure Bitcoin wallet

3. Optional: Add Monero

   • Install Monero plugin in BTCPay
   • Configure existing Monero wallet

Troubleshooting

If Bitcoin stops syncing:

sudo docker restart btcpayserver_bitcoind

If disk space issues:

# Check actual usage
df -h /
sudo docker system df

# Clean if needed
sudo docker system prune -a

If BTCPay can't connect to Bitcoin:

sudo docker restart generated_nbxplorer_1
sudo docker restart generated_btcpayserver_1

Success Metrics

• ✅ Bitcoin container running
• ✅ Pruning enabled (10GB limit)
• ✅ Connected to BTCPay
• ✅ Blockchain syncing
• ✅ Accessible via web interface

Bitcoin is successfully restored and operational!
