### Run BTCPyment
Run BTCPyment with
```
-gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 server:app
+gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 server:app
+```
+That's it! You should now be able to view your BTCPyment server at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/. If running locally, this will be `127.0.0.1:8000`. You might have to allow gunicorn through your firewall with `sudo ufw allow 8000`. You will want to run with nohup so it continues serving in the background:
+```
+nohup gunicorn --worker-class eventlet -w 1 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 server:app > log.txt &
+tail -f log.txt
```

## Embed Donation Button
Now embed the donation button into your website

+### HTTPS
+If you can see your donation button at `http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/` but not in the embeded iframe, you need to provide gunicorn your website's https certificate with the flags `--certfile=cert.pem --keyfile=key.key`. If you use certbot for SSL, your keys are probably in `/etc/letsencrypt/live/`.

# Features
* Lightweight, Python and Javascript talk to your own bitcoin node via websockets and ssh.
* Direct peer-to-peer payments without any middleman. No KYC, and greater privacy than donation systems with reused Bitcoin addresses.
