BTCPyment makes donation buttons simple; using Python and Javascript to talk to your own Bitcoin node, with an easy iframe embed install. BTCPyment uses RPC to generate new addresses from your Bitcoin node, and monitors the payment status with your own copy of the blockchain. Soon, we hope to support lightning payments as well as function as a payment processor for a variety of web shops (woocommerce, shopify).
# 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.
+* Talk to your own Bitcoin node via RPC and SSH. Bitcoin core, or any other node software that supports RPC calls.
+* Lightweight - Python and Javascript websockets.
+* Direct peer-to-peer payments without any middleman. No KYC, and greater privacy than donation systems wher Bitcoin addresses are reused multiple times.
* Natively supports all bitcoind node features (e.g. segwit) through RPC.
* QR codes, user chooses the minimum payment confirmations and payment expiry duration.
* Highly extendable, just take a look at the code! Optional code execution upon payment.
* No shitcoin bloat. Bitcoin only.
# Installation (short!)
-BTCPyment requires you to have a server host on, and a connection to a Bitcoin node. If you don't have one, you should [install one](https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/).

+## Security
+For maximum security, we recommend hosting on a machine where your node only has access to a **watch-only** wallet.

+## Using HTTPS & Domains
Embedded iframes are easy if your site only uses HTTP. But if your site uses HTTPS, then you can likely see your donation button at `http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8000/` but not in the embeded iframe. See [HTTPS instructions](docs/HTTPS.md).
