Nodeless Is Now Open Source: Receive BTC & Lightning Payments Without a Node
Nodeless allows you to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments in your online store, charity or fundraiser, all without all the complexities of managing a lightning node. The payments get sent directly to one's cold storage or lightning address.
- "Originally decided not to open source nodeless because I was worried about getting investor funding. Well jokes on me I couldn't get funding either way 🤣. So fuck it, we're going open source, slowly but surely," wrote the platform's developer utxo.
- Nodeless uses only email for signing up and does not ask service users any other personal information. The service charges 100 sats +1% from every transaction.
These two emails (note the time) explain how @Nodeless_io works.

As soon as a payment comes in, a withdrawal is immediately sent to you.
You tradeoff a few seconds of custodial risk and a 1% fee for abstracting away all the node management.
