Autarki is in beta. Please report bugs in Discord #autarki.

Shop

The stall is public. The order is private.

The shop runs on your computer. People can look before they make a wallet. An order needs that wallet, and the relay cannot read it.

The shop stays on your computer.

The price is yours.

  • Autarki does not take a cut of the catalog price. Lightning still costs: routing at most 1,000 sats, and room of 1,200 sats for 20,000 or 2,000 sats for 100,000.
  • The pool does not hold the sale. A shipped order stays on the seller's node until Mark received, and only after a float.

The order is a private note.

The stall, each product, and the place are public. The relay that carries the order cannot read it. The key and the books stay on your computer.

The counter is the clerk's.

Pay Counter records cash, debit, credit, a coupon, store credit, bitcoin, or a mix. The page does not charge the card or talk to a card terminal. The clerk uses the card machine. It prints its own slip.

Search, then Check-Out.

  • Search a shop, a product, or a place. Country, province or state, city, neighbourhood, and up to four categories are optional.
  • A logo, a picture, and a map link show when the shop published them.
  • An unlisted shop opens by its public name, or by scanning its printed card.
  • A cart, a tip, then Check-Out.
  • The order names products, quantities, an optional note, and an optional tip.
  • It has no price and no payment code. The shop charges its catalog and makes the code.
  • The stall uses Autarki's relay until the shop names its own.
  • Pay-to-relay is off.

Counter, or online.

  • A shop is the counter until the owner picks Online and publishes.
  • The counter shows Pay Counter and a clerk ticket: last four characters and a QR. Online does not show Pay Counter.
  • Pay with XBT or Pay with BTC.
  • Lightning sits under the chain that was pressed. Blake2b Lightning for XBT. SHA-256 Lightning for BTC.
  • Prepare fills Send. Broadcast is a separate press.
  • There is no receipt printer in the app yet.
  • A buyer can search, add a product, and pay with Lightning. The shop sees the order. The relay does not.

How a channel opensHow a shipped order is held

The books stay on your computer.

  • Enable storefront features shows the Store tab.
  • A product: name, price in sats, optional picture link, one description line, optional shelf count.
  • The shelf count stays on your computer. It is not published.
  • Taxes are two names and two rates. They apply to products, shipping, and the other fee. The tip is not taxed.
  • Clerks are staff names on your computer. They are not published.
  • Ledger: Sell, Buy, Check Outs, Open POs, Sales, a coin journal, and a till.
  • Sales download as a spreadsheet. The coin journal downloads as CSV.
  • A Lightning sale and a counter payment are on the spreadsheet. They are absent from the coin journal and from Balance.
  • An unpaid checkout with nothing settled is cancelled after 24 hours.
  • A paid sale cannot be cancelled. There is no refund button. A refund is a later order.
  • Shop books can be saved and brought back. That file leaves out the 24 words, the wallet file, secret keys, and Lightning channel state.

A name, and a private note.

  • The public name is what people see instead of the raw key. The shortened key still copies.
  • A profile can add a display name, a short about line, and a picture.
  • There is no Autarki username. A website name is not required.
  • Message opens one private note. On a phone it fills the screen. On a desktop the order stays visible.
  • Send does not create an order, move coins, or change a shipment. Up to 1000 characters. No public chat room.
  • Contacts is the thread list. Writing to someone does not follow them.
  • Discord is optional. Post "Verifying that I control the following Nostr public key:" and the public name, then the username and the message link.
  • Autarki does not join Discord, use a bot, or check the message.
  • An older install does not show Message until it is updated.
