Standalone AcceptXMR

Another payment gateway CCS proposal.

Summary

I would like to create a standalone, dockerized, AcceptXMR-based payment gateway with wordpress support.

AcceptXMR (demo, docs, repo) is a payment gateway library (or crate, in rust lingo) I wrote as a hobby project and have made available to the community. While my library serves its purpose well, I understand that most merchants are not programmers therefor cannot use AcceptXMR.

This proposal aims to make AcceptXMR usable for anyone capable running a docker container and installing a wordpress plugin.

Why AcceptXMR

Lots of reasons!

• View pair only, no hot wallet.
• Subaddress based (as opposed to the older integrated addresses).
• Pending invoices can be stored persistently, enabling recovery from power loss.
• Ignores transactions with non-zero timelocks.
• Zero-conf works out of the box.
• No local node, wallet RPC, or block explorer needed. Just pick a public remote node.
