_Milestone 2_ is nearing completion. There is a pre-release build up for `1.0.2` of the BTCPay plugin that allows for entering the viewing key and number of confirmations via the settings GUI, eliminating the need for hardcoding environment variables. I ran into some issues with using `zec.rocks`, so for now have changed the default lightwalletd server to `zcash-infra`, and have created an optional fragment for running a full `zebra` node with `lightwalletd`. BTCPayServer tends towards favouring full nodes as a default, however most other cryptocurrencies support pruned nodes and `zebra`/`lightwalletd` do not, so this may be limiting for instances that already have several full nodes running on the same machine, given disk space requirements. A PR is open in `btcpayserver-docker` for the Zcash Docker fragments that would add Zcash support to the official setup process: [Add Zcash support by macintoshhelper · Pull Request #995 · btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker · GitHub](https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker/pull/995) . There is an issue that needs to be ironed out around overriding an environment variable with `docker-compose-generator`, not sure on the best approach for this. I’ll write up some setup and upgrade documentation in the README, and it should be ready for testing. I’ve been running a live instance of the plugin on a BTCPayServer website for the past several days. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/upgrade-btcpayserver-zcash-plugin-for-2-1/50800)._
