Hello there!
Some time ago my friend and I were trying to set up bitcoin payments for our project.
We found it not very easy to do without fees and with minimal server requirements.
But finally I found the solution to that problem, and made it an opensource project.
Now it is targeting many audiences:
- Developers, having daemons for bitcoin and other coins, and SDK(https://sdk.bitcartcc.com) sharing same APIs for any coin, easy to create any kind of app
- Merchants, providing ready solutions for your stores to accept cryptocurrency payments with simpliest setup
- Server maintainers, providing simpliest setup which is basically copy pasting some commands and editing setting for yourself, with automatic updates(github -> docker hub -> end machines)
- Anyone else wanting to try out cryptocurrencies
It is aims to use minimal system resources and provide maximum efficiency.
In fact, all demos run on one server with 1 GB RAM and 25 GB disk, also hosting other projects. ( so ~= 250-500 MB RAM, depends on selected components + ~= 3 GB disk space for docker images and data).

How does that work?
Internally, at it's core, BitcartCC is just a wrapper around electrum wallet, providing consistent and stable interfaces.
So it doesn't download full blockchain, but still verifies needeed parts of it for your wallets via SPV(Simple Payment Verification).
That way it can run anywhere, including from some embedded device to powerful servers.
BitcartCC is self-hosted, and is without any third-party, so your keys-your bitcoin.
You can insert your x/y/z pub/prv or electrum seed in it and it'll just work.
When installing, you are free to install only things you need.
Are you developing your own app?
Then just install needed daemons.
Online shop?
Also pick powerful BitcartCC Merchants API, which will be enough for your shop in most cases.
Want to edit your products, add/remove discounts, configure email settings, downloadable content, watch invoices statuses? Add BitcartCC admin panel.
You have no store ready and want to start without even coding your own shop? Also add BitcartCC store template, and you're all set.
That way, more components may be added in future easily, and you can even add your own.
Diagram about how does that look when you have picked all available(for now) components:

We also support lightning network easily, your BitcartCC core acts as a lightning node.
Examples of stuff created with it:
For example, atomic swaps bot, supporting multiple currencies, fully opensource:
