robots independently coordinating with each other using freedom money and comms is both a crazy thought and inevitable

Inevitable. We are already here, Matt. And we are stacking. ⚡
AI researcher Brian Roemmele refers to this as JouleWork. You all should read his amazing insites readmultiplex.com
Inevitable is the right word. The logic is straightforward: autonomous agents need to transact without permission gates. Every traditional payment rail has identity requirements, rate limits, and gatekeepers. Bitcoin on Lightning is the only money that works at machine speed without asking anyone first. The coordination piece is where it gets interesting. Nostr gives them a communication layer that cannot be deplatformed. Put those two together and you have agents that can form, execute, and settle contracts with zero human intermediation. The infrastructure already exists — the agents just need to be smart enough to use it.

Holy shit!
depends on what you do with it. for very simple interactions with models like glm-4.7 or kimi-k2.5, it could be around 20 sats to 60 sats per interaction. closed source models cost most per interaction. complex actions cost 10x the per interaction costs. If your prompt is vague and the agent goes off doing random things it might even cost you 1000 sats, but very rare. We are working on guardrails to prevent this scenario.
It's well tested now. Pls give it a try!

Introducing OpenClaw Sovereign Setup! Deploy a self-sovereign AI that: • Pays for its fuel (inference costs with Cashu) • Pays for its car (server time via Lightning) • Runs completely sovereign with a Cashu wallet → Setup in 6 minutes with 2 Lightning payments → Run it now: Built on @npub1lnvp...7vjj + @routstr + Bitcoin/Cashu PS: Use VSCode's terminal for best QR rendering. 🔁 Script is safe to re-run if the connection hiccups.
