Deverickapollo and napoly post first progress report for BTCPay Server Monero plugin CCS

Deverickapollo¹ and napoly² have posted the first progress report³ for their CCS proposal to develop a Monero plugin⁴ for BTCPay Server v2.0⁵:

Milestone 1 focused on making the plugin reliable, testable, and easy to maintain. [..] These updates prepare us for what’s next: full Monero support through a production-ready multiwallet plugin using monero-lws. [..] We’re also proud to announce that we’re the first in btcpay / monero ecosystem to achieve full plugin unit/integration test coverage!⁶

Work overview

* Full linting and code formatting for consistent development
* CI/CD pipelines to validate code and produce builds on every commit
* Deterministic builds for reproducible and auditable releases
* Comprehensive test coverage, including unit and integration tests
* Live demo and community server (xmr.btcpay.host)
* Public documentation site

Read the complete update on Gitlab and btcpay.host³.

Consult the previous Monero Observer report⁷ to learn more about the project.

It is worth mentioning that this project is still looking for funding (~143 XMR)⁸.

Note that this plugin shares a single Monero wallet across all the stores in the BTCPay Server instance. Use it only if you are not sharing your instance.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.
