when we will finally have good self-hosted, open-source, BTC gateways?

You mean payment processing? BTCPay Server is the defacto standard I would argue.

Have used it for accepting LN transactions for years.

yep, but web ui for it is far from Stripe quality.

and C#, I would rather have something in Go/Rust.

it always stike me how whacky ETH dev community is (based on their slack). like you have ETH core written in Go, just make a nice open source ETH gateway with nice UI. nope. neither core team nor community don't care.

and BTC has some Windows XP era C# monstrosity

I have zero experience with C# and it all lives inside a docker container and just works.

Naturally, I would prefer a non-windows language, but it is literally a black box that works.

but you also got to have .NET runtime right? so it is bloat. I have allegeric reaction to bloat of any kind (especially oversized Docker containers)

Thought you wanted software that just works ?

interesting. maybe becauase I code all-day, every day, for couple decades, knowing what is inside software kind of important to me. what's under the hood.
