I first came across BTCPay Server in very early days, I remember seeing the now famous tweet which effectively announced the project. In 2018 I’ve even tried to get Bitstamp, my employer at the time, to support BTCPay Server and integrate Bitstamp as an offramp for merchants. Sadly that never went anywhere, but it was when I first talked to (yes, we had a voice call like neandarthals) everyones favorite uncle. Tho it was another year before we actually meet in person - over lots of rakija one night in Room 77, celebrating The Lightning Conference in Berlin. The glory days. The moment we all thought lightning network will eat everything.
