How To Be A Sovereign Bitcoin Merchant

This is a hands-on workshop where you will learn how to use Ambrosia, a new point-of-sale application that uses PhoenixD for the wallet backend. Ambrosia was designed to be easily installed on very low-resource SBCs, allowing any merchant to accept bitcoin without trusting third parties with their funds or data, for under US$100. By enabling merchants to operate without TTPs, Ambrosia allows merchants to be truly sovereign, accelerating the separation of money and state. In this workshop, you will install and explore Ambrosia using your laptop.
