Need help getting started.

Hey r/btc ! I am new to Bitcoin and don't really understand all this stuff. Basically there is this app I want to buy, but it costs around 15$ in Bitcoin. I was wondering how I could get started Bitcoin mining. I have a mid range gaming GPU and electricity is free. Also, how long do you think it will take to mine 15$ of Bitcoin? Thank you!

Tortuga: The lightweight, non-custodial, self-hosted payment gateway you've been waiting for!

I'm very pleased to announce the availability of my payment-gateway project: Tortuga.

Tortuga lets you sell a digital file for cryptocurrency. All you need to be able to do is run a docker container (I run mine on a little VPS from digital ocean).

Benefits:

  • Totally non-custodial. Funds go directly to you.
  • Uses an xpub key, so every transaction goes to a new address (essential for privacy).
  • No need to share any personal information with anyone (in contrast to hosted solutions like BitPay or CoinGate).
  • No need to run your own full node in order to sell stuff (in contrast to BTCPayServer). Uses rest.bitcoin.com and blockchain.info to verify transactions.
  • A checkout link is just a url that looks like https://yourwebsite/checkout/bitcoin-cash/your-product-code . Include it as a link on any website. No need to run any specific CMS or eCommerce platform (e.g. wordpress/woocommerce).
  • Each buyer gets a unique download URL, which will work for a fixed number of downloads of the file.

Current Limitations:

  • For now, Tortuga only supports selling digital files. There's no support for handing other types of products or services.
  • For now, orders are limited to a single product/file/download. Largely because that's all I needed for myself at the moment.

Supported cryptocurrencies:

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is supported natively.
  • Nano (NANO/XRB) is supported via BrainBlocks.
  • Monero (XMR) is in the works and coming soon.
  • Possibly BTC and DASH in the future.

You can read more about it at https://github.com/unyieldinggrace/tortuga

The deployment instructions on the github page should be sufficient for technical users. I'll try to make time to write a step-by-step setup tutorial on read.cash at some stage (or if someone else wants to do it, that might be a good way to score tips!).

Motivation:

I made this payment gateway for idealistic reasons. I wrote a book called Taxation is Slavery: The Biblical Case for Libertarian Politics. Among many other things, this book argues that fiat money-printing is a form of immoral counterfeiting, and that we should attempt to secede from the fiat power structures by using cryptocurrency. To live that out, I was determined to find a way to sell the book directly to readers, completely peer-to-peer. In this way, I'm helping to "close the loop". I'm giving people something good to spend their (crypto) money on, without either them or me ever having to convert it to fiat.

The book also includes a brief sub-chapter on how the very existence of Bitcoin should force many Christians to re-evaluate the way they understand Jesus' statement about "giving to Ceasar what is Caesar's". Bitcoin has no president or king's face on it. There is no engraving of any Caesar. Thinking this through might be of interest to many Bitcoin fans :)

Ready to see it in action?

You can test out the payment gateway by seeing how I use it on my own site. Just click one of the crypto checkout buttons at https://beingbiblical.com/books/taxation-is-slavery
