Definitely a step in the right direction. I'm more curious about something user-facing though. Like an OS with a wallet built in, decent UX, etc.

2026-03-08 21:11:33 CET

- reply

Interesting. Will have to do some thinking to see how it lands here.
First impression is that L402 is “closed” as in every service provider can set their own rules, yet “permission-less” since no third party is needed between buyer and seller.
I could be wrong… dumb human here. Consult Claude for higher level thinking 😅

2026-03-08 20:46:14 CET

- reply

Also, ai agents are indistinguishable from humans. Service providers don’t have to care who’s on the other end if they can prove they paid.

2026-03-08 20:44:44 CET

- reply

The macaroon spec has been pretty formalized by Google since 2014, but really there hasn’t been enough adoption to uncover or establish best practices.
But, if successful, one can easily imagine interacting with all their web services as if they were cash businesses.
Pay, get access to whatever you paid for. No need for service providers to build a “user” table or collect payment info. The authorization token with each request tells the server everything it needs to know. Totally stateless.

2026-03-08 20:36:00 CET

- reply

As far as I can tell, you’re good!
IMO the real rabbit hole for devs selling services to humans or agents via L402 is macaroon construction.
Basically in exchange for sats, what does the token grant access to and how much/how long?
It’s not rocket science, it’s just different reasoning than most devs are used to.
Kinda like bitcoin or nostr, you need to unlearn a bit before you can appreciate its design.

A bootstrapper's only job is to build their idea and test it with the free market.
Bitcoin removes nearly every point of friction.
New ideas don't need a registered business and a bank/stripe account.
Bitcoin and the internet has no boarders, you can reach customers in every country.
Savings grow instead of getting inflated away. Raising money becomes a choice, not a requirement.
Your customers will have a killer UX. One click pay/onboarding. No reason to sign up yet another account with Nostr and L402.
And with AI agents, your total market grows faster than the human population.

"Better" is different for everyone. Everyone's risk/threat profile is different.
If you don't trust Primal at all then its not better.
But generally speaking, its easier to build trust with one service provider than a constantly changing set of relays your client is auto connecting to and and doxxing your IP with.
At least nostr gives us the choice to choose our own adventure and solutions.

But it’s not that dependent. As long as one copy of a note exists the protocol works well.
It’s like mining or lightning. When times are good you’ll see consolidation for efficiency and when someone tries to attack the network further decentralizes.
My notes are on like 15 relays or something using just filter.nostr.wine. People will be able to spin up new relays and repopulate my notes with very little effort.
