Per point 2, managing bitcoind isn't too difficult. I'm not a great dev but I managed to get it working just to tinker with. The documentation on API usage is pretty good. Do you have any plans of accepting other crypto like XMR or LTC? Bitcoin and Ethereum are good in their own right but neither is great for small transactions because of the high fees, and they aren't very good privacy-wise either.

I never heard of PirateChain until now, so I skimmed the white paper and it looks pretty cool! I don't fully understand how the ZCash zero-knowledge transaction system works, admittedly, but it always bothered me that privacy was optional. From my reading it seems like, among other things, Pirate Cash is basically ZCash but with privacy always on, right?
For now I think I'll stick to Monero, just for the sake of it being battle-tested by criminal groups. It's sort of like alternative anonymity networks like i2p in my view. They may be superior in every way, but until someone is willing to put their neck on the line betting on that tech, I can't really be sure how well it works if only because I don't have the technical background to consider all possible weaknesses to the new system. I still might buy in though, I got into Monero way too late but I'm in now and holding on tight.

Nothing is 100% To err is human People also get lucky sometimes Often, its just that the cost of being retaliated against isn't worth the benefit

Yeah I would love to accept coins that are cheaper to spend with. I didn't see any open source payment processors for other coins though.
