How to Set Up BTCPay Server Better After the Hack?

> Yes, that was in the Wordpress plugin correct? If you could provide more details here https://stacker.news/items/1520883/r/06bc1a977d I'll try to investigate.

It just showed payment successful after paid, yet showing *canceled* on the WooCommerce dashboard.

> If you install the BTCpay server plugin, please do provide feedback, especially for the subscription auto-renew, which is where I see most of the potential and differentiation for CLINK from whatever is already out there.

> Still early days, so any bug or feedback helps improve exponentially.

I will keep testing things around and report:) 🫡

*why don't you create a username btw? I was trying to* @you *but couldn't remember your username.*

but writing is fun!

cc @AG  ~tutorials 👀

Actually, I want to ask you why ShockWallet is paired with Sanctum? the sign-in experience is a bit odd. 👀

I see that you also fixed the last bug I mentioned:) But, interestingly, it's showing as canceled in the Status in WooCommerce after payment.

> you can even run it on your mobile phone

how, is it any ~tutorials?

Thanks. 🫡

> yeah but then don't say that "NWC is buggy". There are many things inside that.

My bad, but then how many biz would run their own relay? 😂😂

>Is buggy because you should run your own relay and not depend on 3rd party ones.

that's extra work... I want to run biz not relays. 😂

>You forgot also that now it exist a CLINK plugin for BTCPay.

I mentioned the CLINK plugin at the end, it is actually quite promising.

I feel the same, meanwhile NWC is a bit buggy. 😂

There have been many AI hacks lately, including one to BTCPay Server. If you are using it, better update it to BTCPay Server *v2.4.2.* After this, you might want to reconsider a better setup for the wallets for peace of mind while running your business:

Here is one of the simple and secure ways I configured it:

***

**On-chain payment: using xpub for deposit only.**

To minimize wallet funds exposure, I figured using the xpub for deposit only is best. You can move funds easily whenever you need to, without needing to touch BTCPay, it only acts as the deposit source this way.

How? Connect an existing wallet — Enter extended public key — copy and paste the wallet xpub, and don't forget to verify the addresses.

**Lightning payment**

There are also many options, to be honest, I haven't quite made up my mind which one is better at the moment.

***Option 1. Using Blink wallet Non-custodial (Spark) account — receive only.***

No number or email is required, super easy to configure, but be aware that it's Spark behind the Non-custodial Blink wallet.

I only learned the real meaning of this "Non-custodial account" after I shared the [last post](https://stacker.news/items/1530614), here is my understanding:

1. You *can't* import those 12 seed words to any LN wallet, it has to be Spark-compatible.
2. Spark can see all your transactions or even close your account.

A good read: [Fake L2 scams like Ark, Spark, Citrea, Drivechains, and others are Shitcoins 2.0](https://stacker.news/items/1275977)

***Option 2. Using deposit-only NWC***

You can easily connect BTCPay with deposit-only NWC in Rizful, but from my personal experience and @AG, *NWC is a bit buggy at the moment*; I even ran into a situation where customers paid the invoice, the payment did arrive in my wallet, but it didn't show as settled in the dashboard. On the Customer side, it also didn't show anything after the invoice was paid, which created a really bad impression, I don't know if the NWC connection will improve in the future.

***Option 3. Using a WP plugin: Bitcoin Lightning Payment Gateway for WooCommerce (via CLINK)*** paired with ShockWallet

It was quite easy to set things up, you don't even need to use BTCPay Server in this case, which is quite magical. ( If you want to keep using BTCPay, you can then use the [CLINK plugin](https://stacker.news/items/1523268).)
