topping up my common lisp agent's @TinfoilAI inference by asking it over @whitenoisechat for a @PPQdotAI lightning invoice that i paid with @getAlby
welcome to 2026 🤙 #modus #lisp

Lightning invoices are easy to generate. Helping a first-time user actually pay one is still messy.
So I built Lightning Pay Kit: an open-source React component that turns “scan this invoice” into a searchable, country-aware path to a wallet, app, exchange, or swap.

Love @getAlby for implementing a derivation of the Nsec from a normal Seedphrase.
You can use that with BIP85 to derive the Nostr Nsec from your main Seedphrase.

Safely accept Bitcoin Lightning (and optional stablecoins) with BTCPayServer, with OpenReceive.

The last KYB wall for agent commerce is gone. Agents could already BUY over L402. Now they can SELL: no Strike or OpenNode account required to receive. Any NIP-47 wallet is the settlement layer. Alby Hub, CoinOS, your own node.

I’m honoured to speak at the Sovereignty Summit next year on behalf of @getAlby
If you’ve ever wanted to visit New Zealand this is the perfect time - a bitcoin and AI conference at the peak of one of the most beautiful places on earth!
Speaker Announcement: Roland Bewick
What happens when AI agents can pay, transact and act autonomously using Bitcoin?
We’re excited to welcome Roland Bewick to Sovereignty Summit 2027.
Roland is a builder at Alby and the development lead for Alby Hub, Alby’s self-custodial, next-generation Lightning wallet. His work also spans developer SDKs and agent-first tools for the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
A two-time BOLT FUN Lightning hackathon winner, Roland has worked on projects including Bitcoin Connect and Lightsats, and was the first in the world to create an OpenClaw that could autonomously spawn a child agent by paying for services with Bitcoin.
His work sits right at the intersection of Bitcoin, Lightning, AI and sovereign computing, exploring what becomes possible when digital agents can interact with open monetary networks without relying on traditional payment rails.
At Sovereignty Summit, Roland will bring a builder’s perspective to the Technology & Innovation pillar, exploring where Lightning, self-custody and agent-first technology are heading next.
📍 Coronet Peak, Queenstown, New Zealand
🗓️ 2–3 April 2027

Roland from @getAlby showing us how to build bitcoin apps from a single prompt at @Bitcoinconfasia

We're building something big and robust for merchants that relies on receive-only NWC codes. Our research suggests that currently only Alby and Rizful support making receive-only NWC codes. Can anyone suggest other NWC-capable wallets which easily allow a user to generate a receive-only code?

This video includes:
-setting up your @umbrel Bitcoin node
-connecting @SparrowWallet and @BULLBITCOIN_ as examples
-running @mempool
-using "amiexposed" to check your onchain privacy
-setting up a @lightning node using @getAlby + connecting to mobile.
Your Bitcoin wallet can leak your IP/physical location while linking it to your balance/transactions.
Here's how to fix that running your own node on @umbrel. PLUS some other great apps to level up your BTC game.

I’m doing a workshop at the Open Source Hub at Bitcoin Asia!
Learn how to build bitcoin apps with a single prompt using @getAlby builder skill and @nwc_dev
The Open Source Hub returns to Bitcoin Asia with hands-on demos, technical workshops, live presentations, VR experiences, and the builders behind the software that powers #Bitcoin. 👀
Test wallets. Run nodes. Explore Lightning, Nostr, ARK, AI, and more. ⚡️
Come build with us 🫵

⚡️NEW: Your AI can now spend real money on its own
@getAlby Hub gives AI a self-custodial Lightning wallet through NWC (@nwc_dev)
You create a sub-wallet, connect the agent, and set hard spending limits with daily, weekly, or monthly resets
No shared keys. No surprise bills
Real example running today:
Claude prompt: Buy a $15 @DoorDash gift card
→ Searches @Bitrefill
→ Pays 45,210 sats via Lightning
→ Returns the gift card code
Done in seconds. No credit card. No personal data leaves your side.
Lightning handles the transaction directly. Fast, cheap, and private by default.
Your agent stops being limited to chat. It can buy gift cards, pay for APIs, or handle micro-transactions while you keep full control over the budget.
What’s the first paid service or task you’d actually trust your agent to execute with its own sats?
Test it this week. Set a small limit, hand over the NWC string, and watch it work.
Reply with the task you’d automate first. 👇

Bitcoin payments belong inside the apps people already use.
@MoritzKaminski is building that bridge.
As Co-founder of @getAlby, Moritz works on Lightning and Nostr tools for the web.
Join his talk in Lugano and learn how Bitcoin can move more naturally across the internet.

Our vibe coded bitcoin games have lightning payment infrastructure through @getAlby
Sat Runner game is now available on @fedibtc as a mini app. You can also try it here: sat-runner.vercel.app/
No Stripe, no banks, just magic internet money 😀

Ornith-1.0 9B is pretty good.
It works with @getAlby payments skill and my sovereign brain project (sovereignbrain.me/)
The barrier to running local private AI is even lower than before: Qwen3.6 35b -> Ornith-1.0 9b
(I didn't have a good experience with Gemma 4)
Aloha! 🌺 Meet Ornith-1.0, a family of open-source LLMs specialized for agentic coding.
Ornith-1.0 spans the full parameter sizes including 9B Dense, 31B Dense, 35B MoE, and 397B MoE. It achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks including:
✅Terminal-Bench 2.1(77.5)
✅SWE-Bench(82.4 on verified, 62.2 on pro, 78.9 on Multilingual)
✅NL2Repo(48.2)
✅SWE Atlas(41.2 on QnA, 42.6 RF, 39.1 TW)
✅ClawEval(77.1)
Post-trained on top of gemma4 and qwen3.5, Ornith-1.0 employs a novel self-improving training strategy in which reinforcement learning is used to generate not only solution rollouts, but also the task-specific scaffolds that drive those rollouts. By jointly optimizing the scaffold and the resulting solution, the model generate higher-quality solutions in agentic coding.😎
All models are released under the MIT license, enabling full commercial and research use.
