Honey 🍯, it’s 2026 💅 @BITKARROT is back on the Open Markets Podcast with @npub1equr...hkj6 and @Eric FJ. We get into shared AI agents, the maintenance that comes after shipping, and why clear specifications still matter when code is cheap. Plus: Ghost meets Nostr, running your meetup on infrastructure you own, and Infinite Markets—BitKarrot’s LNbits extension for managing one inventory across a web shop and Nostr marketplaces. The thread through it all: meet people where they are, and give them a path toward owning more of their business. 🎧 Episode 18:

Nostr is hard. Shipping something people can depend on is harder. On Open Markets 17, @Eric FJ and @npub1equr...hkj6 get into group-chat headaches, Nostrich, open source businesses, and why the last 20% takes so much work. Plus: @BITKARROT joins the team, agents help build the shared marketplace spec, and @npub190n6...qnx9 finally buys bananas at a @npub129v9...t6js. #17 Nostr est difficile

⚡️ New episode is out! ⚡️ @BITKARROT has spent years quietly building infrastructure this ecosystem actually uses, from LNbits integrations and NIP-53 to @Hivetalk and beyond. We left the preshow in and went deep on grant politics, L402 vs x402, AI-native development, the responsibility to maintain what you build, and how open markets can make money without recreating the platforms we’re trying to escape.

⚡️ New episode is out! ⚡️ Our guests @npub1f5pr...wt3z and @npub1xgyj...gu7s from @Local Bitcoiners are helping build one of the most important pieces of Bitcoin’s future: strong local communities. Meetups are where online ideas become real relationships, merchants meet customers, and circular economies begin to form. Local Bitcoiners connects that grassroots work through their podcast, meetup resources, and a Nostr marketplace built on open protocols. We talk about the Meshtadel: a distributed network of communities sharing knowledge, building trust, and trading freely through Bitcoin and Nostr. Give it a listen. This one is about how the parallel economy actually gets built.

Open markets need more than open money. They need open communication. This week we sat down with Arjen, one of the creators of FIPS, to talk about the missing network layer beneath Bitcoin, Nostr, and open commerce. If you’re new to FIPS, this is a decent place to start.
