## Review

**A working musician's shop, paid in Monero directly to the shop.**

Beam Up is an electronic dub act that has been putting out records since the 1990s, with releases on 45Seven, BBE, ZamZam Sounds and a few smaller dub labels, and a history of playing Fusion, Exit, One Love and Rainbow Serpent. The shop is small and personal: five items, 7-inch vinyl at around £6-8, and EPs or albums sold at a suggested price, two of which also come as MP3 or FLAC.

**The payment part is what puts it here.** Checkout offers "BTCPay (Monero, Bitcoin, Lightning)" next to cards and cash on delivery. That is a self-hosted BTCPay Server, so the Monero goes straight to the shop rather than through a hosted crypto processor, and the checkout text itself invites you to add fake contact details if you prefer. Vinyl has to travel, so a postal address is unavoidable there; downloads don't need one.

**Why C+.** The act is long-established and the checkout is the setup we like to see, but the site has no terms, shipping or refund page, and we haven't placed an order and paid in XMR ourselves. A completed Monero order is the step that would lift it to B-.
