Yeah but it’s just easier to have the client show me zaps than check it myself. You don’t check for transactions into your nostr pub key everyday do you?

No no. I have little knowledge about it, I only know what people have told me.
Here's an implementation of silent payments with encrypted DMs.
#nevent1q…refc
Here's a NIP for silent payments without anyone having to set silent payment addresses in their kind 0:
#nevent1q…uu9v
I listened to @npub1hea…g9v2's podcast with Odell recently and know just on the surface. But I believe that it's something we should definitely adopt sooner than later.

I'm not entirely against onchain zaps btw, but just wanna point out that silent payments don't have to be computationally intensive btw, since on-chain "zaps" are public anyway, the transaction and thus the receiving address can be public so the receiver won't have to scan at all.
Silent payments at least help us prevent address reuse.
One thing that bothers me is UTXO bloating. But well, nobody can stop anyone from doing anything.

But TEEs are not open source though are they? Now that we know that linux kernel has had multiple bugs for almost a decade, what's the likelihood of TEEs having known bugs/backdoors that are waiting to be exploited at Amazon's convenience?

Always run in sandboxes. LLMs without any backdoor tools invocations always are notorious in screwing things up like leaking private keys/deleting data.
And we are working towards mitigating man in the middle attacks. It's an interesting problem.

Routstr is an open source protocol with a few contributors.
There's a concept of web of trust in Nostr where we follow people we trust, to some extent. Routstr nodes are people that are in our web of trust. I do not know them personally, nor do I know where they live.
"Some random anon", sir, you are a random anon yourself. We are all random anons. Satoshi was a random anon. But you trust the code. You understand the trust assumptions. We've never told anyone that you get full privacy on Routstr nodes, nor have we conveyed to our web of trust that you get 100% security on Routstr nodes (yet).
You're out here insinuating that others should be wary of "stolen credits" being sold on Routstr nodes. Suggesting that that's why there's a massive discount. You came here with an accusation, not me. "Way too much defensiveness". Haha, why shouldn't I be defending a routstr node that is simply doing a great deed for the ecosystem?
As I've pointed out, some random anon is literally proxying PPQ.ai and selling at a massive discount. Because they can. Because they probably don't need to answer to a VC fund that requires them to corner the market. Or maybe this random anon is Satoshi himself and wants to help the new bitcoiners. I don't know. :)

We're working on solving this problem as well. It could be possible to prove that there was no prompt injection/tampering in the middle up to the source. So Routstr nodes cannot screw with user's systems/steal anything.
Also, PPQ.ai, OpenRouter, Anthropic, all of these in the pipeline is probably spying on you and are vulnerable to the exact same attack vector. If it's not running locally, you should assume that it's not 100% secure is being spied on and have your agents run in sandboxes.

Using routstrd, you can get an out of the box experience as well. No accounts, no kyc, nothing. Everything stored locally. Built on Nostr. ❤

Top up with lightning (routstrd receive 2100) by scanning a QR code on your terminal and that's it. You can run 'claude' and start using it.

PPQ.ai @npub16g4…kv4h is accusing Routstr nodes of selling stolen credits when the best node @npub1fet…jzfa is literally proxying PPQ.ai 🤣🤣😭
Routstr nodes that are offering 50% lower prices are here for ideological reasons. Someone who's struggling in a third world country, unbanked or with a shitty credit card (most non-western credit cards don't work internationally btw) can use AI via Routstr nodes and pay with Bitcoin.
We do not promote stolen credits! Most routstr nodes that are live have been here for months. You cannot sell stolen credits for months. Plus if we find out that someone is selling stolen credits, we'll strongly recommend all our users to stop using such nodes.

Please stop with these wild accusations. I am not advertising stolen credits. These are real, honest people right here on Nostr that are running Routstr nodes. People could genuinely be offering discounts for the benefit of the Nostr/Routstr ecosystem. We literally zap 100s of dollars everyday for free.
The cheapest provider is:
https://privateprovider.xyz/v1/models
And they are literally proxying PPQ.ai LMAO. Are you selling stolen credits? They are just doing this for the benefit of the ecosystem and genuinely like a decentralized protocol like Routstr to grow and thrive.
We appreciate what you're building but we cannot be reliant on a centralized US business with VC funding to serving human rights activists and journalists around the world that cannot afford to be behind a US IP address.
You can make a request through privateprovider and check your server if it comes through.
No hard feelings, I welcome you guys to run a Routstr node yourself and sell your inference. We're literally working towards the same goal. <3

Asking users to sign up via email, topup via credit card, create and paste an api key into a text box to get started is a death knell to adoption.
Instead, you get top of the line models like minimax-m2.7 for a 210 sats deposit that they can use at least 21 times.

Yes! Nostr is that reputation system. Providers have complete freedom here. They can set any prices. Right now our prices are 50% lower than normal API costs. Guess it's Bitcoiners offer cheap prices to Bitcoiners via competition ahah. We have 3 nodes undercutting each other every day :).

Built with ❤ for Bitcoiners, by Bitcoiners, with the help of Nostr and Cashu.
This is powered by @npub1mhc…c226's Cocod wallet. Routstrd pays for AI from your local wallet, no subscriptions, no lock in, it'll automatically switch to the cheapest Routstr node and pay for it.

This is because we don't use image generation endpoint, instead you just send the image as a base64 in the same chat/completions endpoint.
Kinda like this:

text?: string;
image_url?: {
url: string; // Required
storageId?: string; // Optional - for internal use
};

PPQ is a centralized service offering AI models you can use on a pay per request basis.
But Routstr is a decentralized AI protocol that lets anyone run a node to sell any AI inference (from OpenAI or open source self hosted) for Bitcoin on a pay per request basis as well. Built on Cashu and Nostr. No accounts, no credit cards.
We have no central point of failure. If one Routstr node is having issues, the client automatically connects to the next one. You discover nodes via Nostr as well.

Yes. Will have usage history in the SDK. Just fixing the last few bugs. 🐛
OpenCode dollar amount integration in the TUI requires a custom plugin. That’s something we can add a bit later. But you’ll get usage stats very soon.
As things are moving at lightning speed, it might not make sense to put in the effort of integrating ourselves into every agent framework.
Soon you might not be looking at the TUI at all. Thats why we’re thinking about generic per session costs for all kinds of agents.

1. Cypherpunk Today

Offering the best prices for `gemini-3-flash` and `gpt-5.2`
2. GB10

Another node adding to the decentralization of Routstr! I can't imagine why anyone would rely on any other AI tech :P

I've assigned you as the worker. I assume that @npub19ma…axkl has to verify it and release the funds as the arbiter.
I'll first verify your work and then confirm that it's correct.

also, @npub1kva…tkzv is a good mint. The transaction is probably just stuck for some reason, I'm sure they can help you recover.

I don't see your comment by the way. Did you delete it or is github censoring you?

run this on your macOs:
curl -L https://routstr.com/lnvps-routstr-openclaw.sh -o routstr-setup.sh
chmod +x routstr-setup.sh
./routstr-setup.sh
It'll do everything for you.

I did not get this notification. I'm sorry :/
If you're buying the VPS, you can use the LNVPS script we have, it supports both macOS and Linux. https://routstr.com/openclaw
