XMPP Service Operators - 2021-02-27

archerships: I like your idea. Have you heard of btcpayserver? Using that, all you'd need to do is interact with it using its api

btcpay++

works well with lightning network

both c-lightning and lnd

but what he wants is a common protocol for xmpp to include currency-agnostic payments

s/he/they

Cart before the horse? Wasnt ejabberd made first, and then xmpp standardized? Make it, then we can standardize it when it takes off

Thanks! Yes, I'm familiar with btcpayserver! It's great.

And yes, I don't think anyone should wait for XMPP standardization to act. But I do think it would be a good idea to get the conversation rolling.

sure, prototyping it before writing anything down is always a good idea, of course

this particular one is quite some work if you want to do it natively with an xmpp server, instead of just doing it all out-of-band and gluing up e.g. btcpay with ejabberd's REST API

and some web UI for e.g. creating the paid room

or signing up

👍

I see the desire to do it in-band since a sunk cost (often coincides with "proof of burn") per account would stop spam, thus reviving the feature

tl;dr what's the idea?

Pay with BTC for an XMPP account? Please don't!

🤦‍♀️️

mimi89999: no, eg Status.im has a Pay button right in the chat, I guess the posts above want something like that, but with a XEP

that just really seems like something that should happen out-of-band, imo.
