You can also use https://geyser.fund to sell products for Bitcoin (both on-chain and lightning). It has order management, and soon shipping as well.

Love getting those sats notifications! 😁

It took a few tries but I got Blink connected! I didn't understand at first that there were separate API keys for sending and receiving.

Trying the NWC option with primal. Let's do some live debugging

The creator of the project selects the country. It can be that the project is in that country, or simply that the creator is based there.

Email login is coming very soon, and you'll be able to use whichever email you like.

Geyser is all about bringing ideas to life, and getting support from your community. It's about transforming potential energy into kinetic energy. We thought geysers was a great representation of that.

Multiple pictures per item is coming this week! What else would you like to see?

Creators are adding value around the world, and everyone should have access to this tool. This is part of our mission, to empower creators around the world 🤙

We'll keep pushing for Geyser to be a global platform, and a tool accessible for all! Since you bring it up, here's what the current distribution looks like on the platform. This shows which regions the creators are from (green-grey), and which regions the contributors are from (colored).

There are no project failures per se. A project on Geyser can remain active for as long as the creator wants. But crowdfunding requires proof of work, and consistency. Most projects that don't receive any funding are also inactive.

Crowdfunding is inherently social, so the best way to increase your chances of success is to communicate a lot and build up a community around your project. If you can build a group of people that love what you do, the funding will follow.

Great question! The "all-or-nothing" fundraising feature is on our roadmap and might happen towards the end of this year. We have explored different options to implement it. It's doable natively on Lightning but has pretty big limitations.

Our current bet is that it would be best to make use of Liquid as an accumulator of funds for the duration of the fundraise. With Liquid covenants we can set a threshold on the amount raised before funds can be sent out of the contract.

Our focus in the medium term is to increase accessibility even further. We have plans to integrate fiat payment methods which auto-convert to Bitcoin, ie: fiat-in, bitcoin-out for the creators.

We are also long-term bullish on Nostr. We have already turned all Geyser projects into a Nostr profile like this: https://primal.net/p/npub15pwt5pvwgu9rfq6j99lmwf055g2eawaf57ark49x0mcpkykg6t3qa28wdn

And you can expect a lot more Nostr integrations in the future!

We're not actively blocking any traffic from Tor, and respect users' need for privacy. This has been brought to our attention before and we're working through the problem with our cloud provider.

I'd say keeping the platform fully non-custodial while maintaining good UX is pretty high up there. But it's also been fun working around this challenge and discovering new payment flows.

For example, making use of HODL invoices to verify payments sent to third party lightning address providers. That way creators can "connect" their favourite wallet and receive funds straight into it.
