 Cherry On Top: Self-hosting zpay.live is entirely free. 

It's so lightweight, you wouldn't even need a full server. You could deploy it on a serverless lambda function on AWS, Azure, or any other platform. 

Even with 10k-20k users on your self-hosted version, you'd never break their free limits.

 I also rewrote the zPay.live backend in Go. It's not only 40% faster and 70% less compute-intensive but also highly scalable. 

Even with 10s of 1000s of users on your self-hosted version, you wouldn't break the AWS Lambda free limit, which is unimaginable with Lnbits or BTCPay servers.

 That's pretty friggin rad. I'm not sure I could ever use this, but... The fact that you are doing it this way is remarkable!

 I will also probably never use this service myself, but I want it to exist as a viable option for people who need it.
