A few days ago someone posted about their failed attempt using GPT-4 privately. I wanted a small low-stakes project where I practice putting lightening & base chain payments in production in the simplest way possible. Like ~20 LOC of python code stripe checkout development experience with little maintenance. A couple of friends of mine were also complaining about employers blocking their chatGPT access.
So, I put an open-source github repo together and a frontend,
https://overmail.ai where you can use GPT-4 privately over Email - and pay with lightening or base chain. It's super simple app if you want to self-host it.
Also feel free to suggest better (as in simpler!) ways to integrate lightening - this actually took the longest part of this whole project.
-
First I tried BTCpayserver & voltage - but, managing liquidity was an issue and I couldn't get voltage flow to work.
-
I also tried Zaprite which has great UX, but they don't have webhooks - so, I would have to manage orders manually. Which is a no-starter.
-
Lastly, I tried Alby API which is honestly the best lightening experience. But, using them would mean I would have to forgo base chain or write the code myself to handle it.
As for openNode - The experience was okay, but not ideal. The KYC is very invasive - not their fault but still. I would say, a Zaprite with webhooks is badly needed in that space.
