Podcasts: TLS104: UTXO on Building Nodeless, Improving Bitcoin UX for Merchants, and LN & Nostr Use Cases ๐Ÿ”— 1 year ago

The Kevin Rooke Show

UTXO is the founder of Nodeless, a product that helps merchants, fundraisers, and other creators accept Bitcoin & Lightning payments without running a node.

In our conversation, we explored how UTXOโ€™s past work on BTCPayServer led him to build Nodeless, the benefits and trade-offs of using Nodeless, along with a discussion about other emerging Lightning and Nostr use cases.

This show is a Lightning podcast. That means instead of asking for likes or shares, I ask for sats.
