Qui Pro Quo. I would buy a gift card if you would visit one of my monetized MCPs and purchase a small tranche of sats. The easiest one to play with, literally, is beesknees.tollbooth-dpyc.com.

For me, the environment is Production - it is just that the customers have yet to flock to it.

In our US forests, there is a vast amount of fallen (or dangerous) deadwood which could be harvested without felling healthy trees - if only we had small chainsaw robots to buck down the material and had robotic rovers to shuttle out the material.

Somewhat related, a link from my blog/store https://cafe.tollbooth-dpyc.com/blogs/recommendations/agrarianism-and-distributism-as-an-alternative-to-socialism-and-crony-capitalism

The article fails to mention the ease by which small merchants can set up (or ask a provider to set up) a no-KYC BTCPay Server.

BTCPay is the commerce service within tollbooth-dpyc.com. (It's actually a modular swappable component - it's just that in practice nothing yet competes with its combination of ease of use and lack of KYC.)

What would we think of a Peace President who cowered when confronted and allowed widespread catastrophe?

That is, it is conceivable that a person might promise, "I will start no new wars" and yet decisively act with, "I will engage in a war if drawn into one, to protect our citizens."

We may argue whether or not that happened but that is different than scorning a peacemaker who may have been compelled to respond. We do not know many things and should be cautious about our opinions formed in our ignorance.

Funny. The charge to vote (which I paid) is 1 sat. The Lightning Fee, through Phoenix for me, is 4 sat. So the effective fee is 5 sat.

Note that with Tollbooth-DPYC, the patron (like me, here, today) can purchase "API Sats" offline in bulk (say, 1000 at a time) and pay a similar fee that is amortized over that larger tranche versus a micro fee like here.

This makes single-sat transactions more economical. (And now I pay 12 sats more to reply. The Tollbooth DPYC removes the light friction of invoice payment out of the "hot path".)

Thank you for the opportunity to share. I am the curator for tollbooth-dpyc.com, an ecosystem for the monetization of MCPs. Behind the MCPs, it uses Nostr for secure messaging between humans and agent/MCPs and BTCPay/Lightning for commerce. The "DPYC" stands for "Don't Pester Your Customer", commerce that is free of KYC.
