Self-hosting BTCPay does not equal server control
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by CriptoNoticias ·
The note says self-hosting BTCPay does not give full control of the server if someone else can still shut it down. It separates four layers that are often mixed up: keys, software, server, and access to funds.
Key points
- The report distinguishes four controls that are often treated as one.
- The issue described was not with the software itself, but with server control and fund access.
- Self-hosting does not prevent another party from having operational power over the machine.
- The case underscores the need to know who controls each layer of the setup.
Why it matters
For BTC users and payment operators, custody and operational control are not the same thing. This story highlights the limits of assuming full security just because software is self-hosted.
