Very impressed at net cost. I used to run a small ecom business targeting total prices in the range of $3-10. At $3, payment processing is nearly 11-12% of costs, which is absurd, more if you amortize the occasional chargeback/fraud. Lightning can do it for <<0.1% net cost even at the low end, which is incredible. There are plenty of these kinds of vendors on eBay, Aliexpress etc that would be willing to adopt with a bit of help.
For whoever posted, your cost calculator should be first thing on the page, and you "How we calculated this number" link is broken

So, this is 'open' as in 'OpenAI', not as in 'open source'. What's the benefit of this compared to something like NOW Payments for merchants (or the myriad of alternatives)? NOW Payments supports a wide range of crypto currencies as well.

Is it open source? If not, why choose the name “OpenNode”?

Why was it flagged?

I don't have much substance to add to the discussion but this kind of topic is very relevant to the GNU project Taler which aims to bring an open payment infrastructure to general use/"the market".
They have significant investment and institutional interest notably from the EU and established organisations such as NLNet.
I am not affiliated but figure this deserves more attention, especially in this conversation.

Genuine question - why would someone hold bitcoin for regular, everyday purchases?
The buying power is all over the place.

Why this instead of the opensource, well used, and trusted BTCPay that you can self-host and has 0% fees?
