It would be awesome and so much easier if you allow bitcoin payments for memberships.
One way would be to use a third party processor, but ideally you could create a bitcoin wallet for each admin which would allow you to process payments internally.
Stripe, Paypal, Google pay are never easy to use or impossible in third world countries when you want to receive payments.
Thank you! And I definitely love ghost.
Stripe played with Bitcoin payments for awhile and then ditched it.
I personally would love to see Bitcoin, and especially Dash, supported. Maybe something to poke someone like Coinpayments or one of those services for.
Not very many people actually pay with crypto. Other sites have offered it and it’s less than .1% of all payments typically.
Depends on the targeted demographic, and importantly, how easy you make it to use.
And of course, crypto is unparalleled if you have a cross-border patronage.
Crypto transactions may be less than .1% overall, but that’s not the case across all niches. A crypto newsletter or porn blog would expect a higher proportion of transactions to be made with cryptocurrency.
That would be a very good idea, cryptocurrency is more comfortable to use for the internet, especially on different forums, just by having a virtual wallet. Also i think that each admin should have his own wallet that would be involved in the forum’s payment system. So when you will pay for the membership, it will redirect the money automatically on their accounts, so I think it is much better than to do wallets to each. Personally I want to start cryptocurrency trading besides my main leverage trading, I hope I will have success.
That sounds good ! In addition to Bitcoin, it should also be Ethereum and other ERC20 token. I think it will be more interesting .
I use Bitcoin on my Ghost platform check it out here. https://www.thrillerbitcoin.com
Also use something like opennode its not as hard as it use to be.
I’m very interested in this!! I’ve been trying to make something work but don’t know how to make it happen!
I’d like to implement a Pay per Read, a paywall, that could show a Lightning Network (Bitcoin) QR code a user could pay to read the hidden content. I’d like to do it per author, so each author would get paid from users reading their content, incentivizing to create more and better content!
I’m using LNbits for the payments (i’m a dev there) but, I need some guidance on the better way to do it in Ghost! Any advice?
@talvasconcelos Possibly worth reaching out to Alex Bosworth who uses Pay per Read on his Y’alls website.
I see he’s set up a Pay to Contact Form too.
Thanks for the heads up. I don’t think yalls is on ghost, if i was doing a custom CMS i wouldn’t have any issues!
Pay to contact is on LNbits for ages…

I’ve been developing a Bitcoin Lightning integration for Ghost – just released it today! The integration is available at https://scribsat.com . Currently it allows users to pay for each post using Lightning. We’re planning to add an option to subscribe with Bitcoin as well.
This could work especially well with a lifetime subscription option, which some are trying. Any progress on adding the option for subscriptions?
I want to commend you on your open declaration. Thank you 
There are markets in specific parts of the World for this and your approach will help there.
Blockonomics has created integration to help accept bitcoin payment easily on ghost blog. Feel free to have a look
Disclaimer: I am part of Blockonomics team and looking for feedback on this
Look into BTCPay, Helio Pay, or even better – Solana Pay. All three are fairly easy integration work. Especially BTCPay. Plus it’s a self-hosted yet extremely portable setup.
