If you ask @bot to install @Blockstream wallet it tells you there are blocked network ports.
If you tell it to find a solution it codes up a bitcoin wallet from scratch and it works.
If you feed it bitcoin and tell it to buy you shoes it uses @bitrefill to get gift cards.

Be smart. Give your @bot a crypto wallet.
It will find Bitrefill.
To buy stuff, you can just take a picture of your credit card, drop it in the chat and Grok @Bot will scour the Internet for the best deal on the item you want and order it
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
xAI explicitly warns users not to include personal information in prompts, yet credit card photos may contain such information.
Grok Bot's terms state that user data and credentials may be stored in its cloud environment and require human review for financial transactions.

Introducing the PPQ Enclave Router.
Every chat through PPQ now runs in an AWS Nitro enclave that PROVES:
1) PPQ cannot read the content of your queries
2) PPQ sent your query to the model and provider you chose. No model fraud.
No more promises. Only provable guarantees. 🧵
How internet money will win in the agentic economy per Taleb's Minority rule:
What you need to believe: The crypto niche of payments will be larger in the agent-centric web than on the human-centric web.
An order of magnitude larger? Two? Will it be significantly enough larger that it reaches the threshold when most actors need to care?
If crypto and non-crypto options are both available to an agent: crypto is strictly better.

@heysealai found @bitrefill on x402 and paid 6.75 USDC to buy me a ¥1000 gift card that I can use at any convenience store

If you are a person or company who has lost crypto, one of the first things that any reputable incident responder is going to tell you to do is to call the police.
Except it seems like too few people in crypto know who to call. Here is a list: pangolinintelligence.com/rep…

Yesterday I began fully integrating the @OpenAI trust cyber program into my Bitcoin Red Team efforts.
This morning I woke up to see this.
I am now being blocked from doing additional analysis on a codebase which I've already responsibly disclosed to, and have received confirmation had legitimate findings.
To be clear, this is after having already KYC'd and completed the onboarding process months ago to use the cyber capabilities OpenAI has to offer.
I am now prevented from being able to continue the investigation in a further effort to make sure their code changes are sufficient, as well as understand if there are other issues that have yet to be discovered.
It absolutely guts me as a patriotic American to have to do this, but I will be going back to using Chinese open source models to conduct my research to protect Bitcoin infrastructure.
Black hats will not hit these issues. The white hats will. We've hit a local minima in policy. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don't follow rules, and those who engadge in harm reduction are left on the sidelines.
What are we doing in this country? How is this keeping people safe?
Please do something @DavidSacks @sama @realDonaldTrump

There is a critical vulnerability being actively exploited on BTCPay Server, which can result in the loss of funds.
Please update your BTCPayServer to 2.4.2 by going to Admin Dashboard -> Server -> Maintenance -> Update & verify the 2.4.2 version string in the footer.
If you are unable to update right away, turn off your BTCPay Server to prevent unauthorized access until you can update.

buzz is cool if you're a normie "wow a slack alterantive for agents".
buzz is EXTREMELY cool if you know nostr and that it supports everything that works on nostr.
there will be thousands of web apps, mobile apps, bots, dashboards, admin tools that all work with buzz because we already built all of it in the last 3 years.
crazy how open protocols just compound.
Buzz is the biggest AI wow experience since Openclaw. Frankly, bigger.
We first day got 20% of the company onboarded and creating agents, more than we ever did w the claws.
Simple multiplayer AI harness
in the UI that everyone knows.

Yup
Observation and prediction: AI is killing the Ad-based Economy, and Crypto will be the winner.
Explanation:
For the past 25 years the internet economy looked like this: Publishers offer content to users for free, because their revenue came from ads shown to users.
This economy is dying because AI is replacing users in reaching for content, and AI doesn’t care for ads.
This will push publishers to charge for their content, and I see two end states, one of which has Crypto as the main winner.
Centralized solution: A single company, or a small number of companies, will be trusted to do the accounting on behalf of Agents and publishers – who accesses which website – and settle periodically (say, monthly). This is much harder than it seems – the agents, users, publishers, are decentralized and globally distributed. Payments must go across borders and satisfy regulatory requirements. Big problem.
Decentralized solution: Using hyper-scaled blockchain technology, agents will pay in real time with micropayments for accessing content. This is a use case that blockchain is well suited for, except for the small issue of how to allow millions of TPS.

Agentic Airbnb booking, without any of the tedious research or clicking around.
All it took is:
> 1 prompt with browser access
> 9 minutes of agent work
> Bitrefill MCP to pay
My only job was choosing which listing.
This is what agentic commerce looks like today.
No human in the loop.
Your internet money is good here.
x402 is live at Bitrefill checkout, no account or API keys required.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.
