Nicolas Dorier, encoder, and software developer of the payment processor BTCPay, ensures that there have been several open source projects, but all are difficult to set up, which gives advantage to the system of payment they decided to push for more than two years ago.BTCPay Server emerged in the ecosystem, Bitcoin in 2017. It is a platform that was introduced under a free software license, originated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Since its launch, has enjoyed a rapid development, driven by its own staff.Dorier talked the past weekend with James Molins, a correspondent of Breaking News in the Conference on Bitcoin Baltic Honeybadger 2019, which was held in the Latvian capital of Riga, where they found developers, merchants and businesses to the ecosystem of the cryptocurrencies.Nicolas, keeps the promise he made in a famous tweet, a couple of years ago when he suggested that it would be obsolete to Bitpay. Now working hard to demonstrate that you will, therefore, speak of the projects to which it is dedicated.Dorier explains that is working on a new project, which can be installed next to the server BTCPay easily, improving the traceability.
I think that is the most important project that we have done. Was actually born as a transmitter BTC, but now, it is true, we don’t talk much about it because I think that there are still errors. I know that some people have used it and it works, but still needs time to solidificarlo.Nicolas Dorier, developer of BTCPay.
BTCPay also was the protagonist in the conference held in Latvia, to reveal that Square Crypto, the company founded by the CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey, would make a contribution of $ 100,000.About Dorier spoke about the importance that it meant to create a legal structure that will allow it to properly process the donations.
We had a page to accept donations, but we hadn’t done the right way. Then we noticed that do non-profit organizations, it is very slow and very expensive. So we had a very simple structure. It is not a non-profit organization, is only a limited liability company, with which at least we can accept donations and give increased visibility to our sponsors and greater clarity about how we handle money.Nicolas Dorier, developer of BTCPay.
The structure was necessary because, according to the blog entry of Square Crypto, this is the first of several potential prizes that the organization be granted to encourage companies to open-source of Bitcoin.
