Ox-Alpha, a new mysterious frontier model is available on Routstr for free!... almost free, offered by 2 nodes at 0.001 sat (1 msat) per request, no I/O costs. Try it out today via Routstrd.
Sounds great! I wanted this and asked my agent to set it up. Here is what happend:
api.routstr.com is dead - all endpoints return 404
Cuba-Mint (mint.cubabitcoin.org) is broken - I paid 700 sats via Lightning, but the mint only shows 331 sats in my wallet. The rest is lost 🤯
No working remote API - can't create API keys, can't use any models!
ox-alpha model disappeared - it was listed as free/cheap, now it's gone from the models list.
Feels like a scam!
I followed the 3-step guide (bun install -g routstrd, routstrd onboard, routstrd receive 2100), but the daemon can't connect to any remote endpoint and the local mint is unreliable.
Please fix:
Restore api.routstr.com or provide working remote endpoints
Fix the Cuba-Mint (too small, losing funds)
Explain what happened to ox-alpha (was advertised as free/cheap)
Provide alternative mints or NWC support
This is blocking all usage and I feel scammed. Need a working solution ASAP. 🚨
Run “routstrd models —refresh” to force refresh.
And “routstrd clients add —opencode” to install in there.
(It’ll automatically pull and update opencode every 21mins)
