🔴 Alby Community Call starts NOW! The best monthly meetup for insiders (and beginner lurkers as well!) - about building projects in BITCOIN & NOSTR ecosystems 💪 Today presenting: @Shopstr Markets plugin to @BTCPay Server @Mostro #ArcadiaB @B2P Central Watch stream at https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1wxWjamDemWJQ Or join live at https://communitycall.getalby.com

@Roland 's session from @PlebLab AI Startup Rodeo is now available! A single prompt. The agent is running. We'll see what it built at the end. Anyone with an idea can now build bitcoin apps in minutes using Alby's new developer experience. This session covers: - Apps built by your agent and tested end-to-end without human interaction - Alby AI toolkit running on @PayPerQ and @LNVPS.net - NWC as an abstraction above bitcoin and the lightning network - Alby Sandbox - Alby Hub as the go-to wallet for builders

After years of predictions about AI agents spending bitcoin, in 2026 it's finally here. @Roland sat down with @Sherry from @Roxom TV to discuss the first AI agent that spawned a "child" bot and paid for its own infrastructure using the bitcoin lightning network. We cover: - How is @openclaw different from ChatGPT? - The first autonomous AI purchase ever recorded on @PayPerQ and @LNVPS.net - Now everyone can build bitcoin apps Read more about the experiment on Roxom TV and why this matters for AI and bitcoin:

Watch Alice pay Bob in 30 seconds ⚡ Alby CLI gives your agent a wallet interface with budgeted access to your wallet. The Alby CLI skill teaches your agent exactly how to interact with an NWC wallet using Alby CLI: - send and receive payments - pay to lightning addresses - fiat conversions - list transactions - lookup payments - much more. Add the Alby CLI skill to your agent with a single command: `npx skills add getAlby/alby-cli-skill` On OpenClaw you can just tell it to "install https://getalby.com/cli/SKILL.md as a custom skill".

Trustless auctions on #Bitcoin are here! ⚡️ Satoshi’s Auction House lets you sell goods and get paid without ever taking custody of user funds. To celebrate, we’re auctioning a 1-year Alby Hub Cloud subscription incl. a Lightning channel. Bid now and get a Xmas present! 🎁👇 https://satoshisauction.house/listings/033973b6-b06e-4090-811d-5d28ca62113d ---------------- Satoshi’s Auction House uses HOLD invoices to enable conditional payment logic and trust-minimized escrow all built directly on Bitcoin. Learn how it works. 👇

Build Conditional Payment Logic Into Your App

"Hold invoices" let you build conditional payment logic and trust minimized escrow services right into your app on top of bitcoin. Learn how.

---------------- The app removes trust in the buyer and uses #Nostr for accounts, adding transparency for the seller. And instead of seeing the HOLD-invoice timeout as a limitation, it embraces the fun: fast bidding — just like a real-world auction. Perfect for livestreams, conferences, meetups and more. ---------------- The winner will be announced at the end of our Community Call, 3–4 PM CET.
