I know I’m just one guy, but lack of Monero support kept me away.

This feature looks like it narrows the gap a bit though.

Nice work

Don't know a bunch about cryptocurrencies, but couldn't you get the benefits of monero by just converting monero to btc before paying?

Are the conversion fees too high?

  • You can but its not only more effort and increases the price but also reduces privacy and anonymity because you introduce a possible point of tracking with most likely KYC exchanged BTC and a publicly viewable blockchain.

  • You can, but to retain anonymity you'll need to go through decentralized exchange (DEX). This is extra hassle, especially if you have never done this before.

  • In addition to what u/akimbostrawman said, I feel like doing that would undermine long-term privacy by slowing adoption of a tool (monero in this case) in favor of something less private.
