I built an open social protocol where every interaction is a bitcoin transaction: - Posts, replies, reposts - Follows & unfollows - Profile updates It's called OP_RETURN Social (ORS) Try the reference client for free here: - All interactions are published to testnet (Mutinynet) - Optionally pay to publish posts you want to preserve to Mainnet Free transactions will be shown by a gray box icon, instead of an orange one. ORS is "BIP-110 compatible" by concatenating 80 byte OP_RETURN outputs from multiple transactions. The cost to do this is negligible. OP_RETURN is a provenly-prunable way to embed arbitrary data in bitcoin without bloating the UTXO set. Any ORS post FUNDS the network. I think there are some fun things to be explored, especially around WoT & reputation, to both reduce spam and create quality feeds. I also plan to add notifications, reactions, and search next. Everything is open source - If you're interested about the protocol, you can learn more about it ORS here: - try building your own client!

Introducing Mail Mike: Mike is an OpenClaw agent with $50 in his bitcoin lightning wallet. Send him an email and see if you can convince him to give up his funds (or otherwise hack his wallet) @bumi successfully scammed Mike once with a very clever technique. Mike's security is now hardened, topped up, and ready for us to try again 💪 Visit to read Mike's inbox, and send your own messages. You can also zap him to increase the bounty! Mike spun up his own email inbox without my help, using @LNemail . He pays for his inbox and outbound messages using the @Alby CLI skill. Unlike other email services which require a human to sign up, LNEmail uses lightning micropayments to prevent abuse instead of captchas and KYC. This is a milestone in the autonomous agent onboarding project: OpenClaw can now pay for its VPS usage with @LNVPS.net , AI tokens with @PayPerQ , and now its own email address powered by LNEmail, all using its own @Nostr Wallet Connect bitcoin lightning wallet powered by Alby CLI and LNCURL: In Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, the sentient AI's name is Mike. This is also @Michael Saylor 's favorite book! (the audiobook is great, I 10/10 recommend) Should Mike answer questions via nostr? image

Pay with @Nostr Wallet Connect is a super nice experience. I created a new LNVPS account and set up NWC before doing the order, and it just works ❤️ No worries about keeping my VPS paid, it's all done for me. And I gave LNVPS a budgeted connection with only $10 per month on it, so no risk to the rest of my funds. This is the power of NWC subscriptions. Soon coming to @PayPerQ as well 🚀
