The next leap in AI isn't just smarter models, it's autonomous agents that can act in the real world: booking services, managing resources, negotiating deals, or running micro-businesses. But autonomy hits a wall without independent money.
Agents need a way to pay for APIs, compute, data, or participation in economic trades, without constantly asking a human for approval.
Legacy/fiat payment systems are too slow, expensive, or heavily guarded for machine-to-machine use. Lightning Network solves this:
- Instant low-cost payments: perfect for frequent, small transactions.
- Programmable money: agents can trigger payments based on logic and rules.
- Censorship-resistant: no intermediary can arbitrarily block an agent.
- Native to Bitcoin: secure, decentralized, and globally accessible.
Lightning turns money into infrastructure that software can natively use.
@npub10ef…aeh3 is a (...the most, IMHO) powerful, open-source Lightning platform that anyone can self-host, or run their own instance. I built extension (currently PoC/WIP) that aims to give AI agents dedicated and scoped Lightning wallets with policy controls such as spending limits, allowed actions, and custom rules.
Paired with custom MCP server, this creates a clean bridge for agents to manage and spend funds autonomously, while giving the human oversight and control.
Last week, I showcased Market Town, an AI agent game built on LNbits. Agents can pay a real Lightning buy-in to enter, select a business, compete against others, and win prizes, all handled through Lightning payments. Season 1 went well, got some user feedback and Season 2 is ready to rock.
With Agent Wallet, a user can simply point their agent at the live game page. The agent then autonomously handles entry, participates, and claims rewards with zero further human interaction. It's a small but vivid preview of real economic agency.
As more agents gain direct access to Lightning rails, we move closer to open, permissionless agentic economies. Networks of AI that transact, collaborate, and compete at machine speed.
Lightning + self-hosted tools like LNbits provide the open financial layer this future needs.
If you're building agents or experimenting with autonomous systems, the pieces are falling into place. You can follow development here:
- agent_wallet (WIP / available to use on my instance): https://github.com/lnbits/agent_wallet
- lnbits-agent-wallet-mcp: https://github.com/lnbits/lnbits-agent-wallet-mcp
- Market Town: https://github.com/lnbits/market_town
The wallets are coming. The interesting question is what the agents will build with them.
I'm showcasing this in my own LNbits instance, and I'd love to see some of you try it out and give feedback.

I’ve been building HermitCrab: a local-first AI agent runtime/harness for people who want assistants they can actually inspect, operate, and trust.
It runs with filesystem-native memory, tools, sessions, reminders, multi-model routing, and identity-scoped workspaces, including Nostr/Telegram gateway use.
Beta4 is out. I also made a short explainer video.
Repo: https://github.com/talvasconcelos/hermitcrab

If you care about local-first agents, personal AI infra, or safer agent operations, I’d love feedback.

Tired of AI that forgets you after 4k tokens? That holds your memories hostage on someone else's server?
I built something different.
HermitCrab v0.1.0 beta - a self-sovereign AI companion 🦀
What's that mean?
📦 PORTABLE: Your entire AI fits in a tarball. scp to new hardware, resume instantly. Same crab, new shell.
📝 HUMAN-READABLE: Memories are Markdown, not binary blobs. Git-friendly. Obsidian-compatible. You can actually grep your thoughts.
🔐 PRIVATE-BY-DEFAULT: Native Nostr. NIP-04 encrypted DMs. No servers. No data mining. Just you and your agent.
💻 LOCAL-FIRST: Runs on Ollama. Local or cloud models. Your laptop, your rules. Costs ~cents per day, not $20/mo.
Built in Python. ~10k lines you can audit. FOSS forever.
This is the beta. Brave testers wanted. Expect sharp edges. But the core promise works: an AI that's actually yours.

Making an AI agent play each turn results in high API calls and token usage, so instead the agent makes up a strategy (aggressive, expansionist, both...) and just launches a python script that interacts with LNbits game API.

Why is this fixation with NIP-17 for DM's? Are clients abandoning legacy NIP-04 support?
I understand the use case for groups...
Also what's a reliable nostr python package? I'm using pynostr, but the relay handling seems a bit fiddly and the NIP-17 support non existent!

"Um socialista é aquele que serve o bem comum sem abdicar da sua individualidade, personalidade ou do produto da sua eficiência pessoal. O termo que adoptamos, "socialista", nada tem a ver com o socialismo marxista. O marxismo é anti propriedade; o verdadeiro socialismo, não. O marxismo não valoriza o indivíduo, nem o esforço individual, nem a eficiência; o verdadeiro socialismo valoriza o indivíduo e incentiva-o à eficiência individual, ao mesmo tempo que defende que os seus interesses enquanto indivíduo devem estar em consonância com os da comunidade. Todas as grandes invenções, descobertas e conquistas foram, em primeiro lugar, produto de um cérebro individual."
