commands seem to be bad, but when you speak a long paragraph for dictation it seems to be able to figure that out, at least for me.

The new Primal 3.0 that's launching next week uses the same technology as the wallet in Agora. You can take your Agora backup and restore it to Primal or you can take your existing Primal wallet and import it to Agora. Either method here would allow you to use the same wallet in both apps.
I'm this example, I created a brand new wallet in Agora, restored it to Primal, and then sent 21 sats from my Strike wallet to [email protected] and it shows up in both Primal and Agora.

How is it slow and glitchy and how are payments available to everyone? I've used Spark to build Agora and haven't seen any of this.

2026-03-13 19:30:58 UTC

Just wrapped #BitcoinTakeover at #SXSW.
Huge thanks to @nprofile…lw26 for putting together something truly special. The energy in that room was different. We had builders, thinkers, and curious learners, all in one place asking the questions about where this all goes and eager to build the future together.
I got to talk about what I believe is one of the most exciting intersections happening right now: open source AI agents, Bitcoin payments, and Nostr. The idea that agents can transact autonomously, communicate over a decentralized protocol, and do it all without asking permission from any platform. This is the future. We're building this.
I also had the honor of having a one on one fireside chat with @nprofile…62p3 about @nprofile…3yuk. We discussed the history of the project and how they're building for the average non technical user, where the Nostr terminology and technology just fades into the background.
For me, the best part wasn't the talks though. They were great and I thoroughly enjoyed them all, however it was the side hallway conversations and the networking with like minded folks. The new friends made. The builders who are quietly shipping things that are going to matter. The communities forming in real time around shared values. #grownostr
This is why I do this. Not just to build, but to find the others. 🫂💜🤙🏻
Thank you to everyone who came out and connected.
