Hey BHW,
Name's Silas, been building software for a few years — started out in the tool/checker space, learned the hard way that running a service at scale is expensive and crypto payment processors are a nightmare.
Spent the last while building my own solution after getting burned by custodial gateways (Cryptomus held funds, OxaPay's approval process was a joke). Ended up going the non-custodial route — XPUB-based,
funds go direct to merchant wallet, nothing flows through us.
Here to learn from people who've been in the digital products space longer than me, figure out what I'm missing on the business/marketing side, and hopefully contribute something useful where I can.
Good to be here.
— Silas
