Developers lack simple, secure crypto payment integrations
Developers and small online businesses want to accept crypto, collect subscription payments, or process Lightning payments, but the cited requests describe stitching together APIs, node infrastructure, security, and provider-specific code. One request calls out the lack of wallet-based pull billing, while another asks for a processor that works with Telegram. The evidence is strongest for developer-side payment integration; self-custodied personal finances and traveler demand for crypto are adjacent but less directly served by the same product.
For developers and small online merchants adding crypto payments. Mentioned from Mar 2024 to Oct 2025 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

I wish there was a turnkey SDK that took care of most of the technical stuff and just let you use cryptocurrency like it's PayPal
I want to add lightning payments to my app service. For this I want to create an external server that can process lightning payments on behalf of my app
