I've got a more merchant/partner facing role. Yes, you can check our github: https://github.com/opago-pay

fulltime means I'm focusing 24/7 on it, working in Fiat and Bitcoin can be too much with girlfriend, friends and family...

It's not paying much now, but I rather live on the minimum then continuing to work on a job I don't enjoy. And the Bitcoin industry got so many interesting people to meet and learn from.

fulltime because hard- and software need time :p

You are doing a great job! Keep pushing. Onboarding merchants is not an easy task, I know it from my own experience in all these 10 years in Bitcoinlandia. And today we have so many solutions and they still are quite few that want to make this step forward.

It's a long way to the top if we wanna rock'n'roll.

Thanks @DarthCoin, same to you (on another level)! I just think it's great to have so many different Lightning solutions for every merchants fit. Doesn't matter which size! And of course all these people behind these Lightning solutions approach merchants, it's leveraging

100% @nemo! You can imagine how it felt to hold the first Terminal in my hands :) Much more rewarding as any money after all the time we spend into development with all the ups and downs..
