* This refactors the email sending so that all the logic related to users and emails are now contained in one location. * The Reset password screen has been updated from its ugly plain self to use the same layout as the login. * An admin can now create a new account without specifying a password. A link is generated that can be given to the intended user to configure the password. If emails are configured, it also sends an email * An admin can now create accounts that still require the user to verify their if the setting is enabled from the server settings. A link is generated that can be given to the intended user to configure the password. If emails are configured, it also sends an email. * The above features can be used in conjunction: An email will have to verify their email through a link. Once verified, the user is redirected to setting the password. * When an email has been verified OR a password has been set, users are now redirected to the login page with the email filled in and a success status message shown instead of a dedicated thank you page. |

BTCPay Server
Introduction
BTCPay Server is a free and open-source cryptocurrency payment processor which allows you to receive payments in Bitcoin and altcoins directly, with no fees, transaction cost or a middleman.
BTCPay Server is a non-custodial invoicing system which eliminates the involvement of a third-party. Payments with BTCPay Server go directly to your wallet, which increases the privacy and security. Your private keys are never uploaded to the server. There is no address re-use, since each invoice generates a new address deriving from your xpubkey.
The software is built in C# and conforms to the invoice API of BitPay. It allows for your website to be easily migrated from BitPay and configured as a self-hosted payment processor.
You can run BTCPay Server as a self-hosted solution on your own server, or use a third-party host.
The self-hosted solution allows you not only to attach an unlimited number of stores and use the Lightning Network but also become the payment processor for others.
Thanks to the apps built on top of it, you can use BTCPay to receive donations, start a crowdfunding campaign or have an in-store Point of Sale.

Getting Started
Firstly, decide if you want to host an instance yourself or use a third-party host. If you've chosen to self-host, we documented plenty ways to deploy BTCPay Server.
After successful deployment, make sure to check our getting started and walkthrough guides. In case you would like to use Lightning Network, see Lightning guide.
Documentation
Please check out our official website, our complete documentation and FAQ for more details.
If you have trouble using BTCPay, consider joining communities listed on official website to get help from BTCPay community members. Only file Github issue for technical issues you can't resolve through other channels or feature requests you've validated with other members of community.
Main community chat is located on Mattermost.
Contributing
BTCPay is built and maintained entirely by volunteer contributors around the internet. We welcome and appreciate new contributions.
If you're a developer looking to help, but you're not sure where to begin, check the good first issue label, which contains small pieces of work that have been specifically flagged as being friendly to new contributors.
Contributors looking to do something a bit more challenging, before opening a pull request, please create an issue or join our community chat to get early feedback, discuss best ways to tackle the problem and to ensure there is no work duplication.

- Setting up development environment Linux (Ubuntu)
- Setting up development environment MacOS
You also have an awesome video of our contributors which explains how to get started.
Here is some info about how to extend the themes.
How to build
While the documentation advises to use docker-compose, you may want to build BTCPay Server yourself.
First install .NET Core SDK v3.1 as specified by Microsoft website.
On Powershell:
.\build.ps1
On linux:
./build.sh
How to run
Use the run
scripts to run BTCPayServer, this example shows how to print the available command line arguments of BTCPayServer.
On Powershell:
.\run.ps1 --help
On linux:
./run.sh --help
How to debug
If you want to debug, use Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2019.
You need to run the development time docker-compose as described in the test guide.
You can then run the debugger by using the Launch Profile Docker-Regtest
on either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio 2017.
If you need to debug ledger wallet interaction, install the development time certificate with:
# Install development time certificate in the trust store
dotnet dev-certs https --trust
Then use the Docker-Regtest-https
debug profile.
Other dependencies
For more information, see the documentation: How to deploy a BTCPay server instance.
Supported altcoins
