I think there have been many, I believe the first one was UMBRELLA on counterparty in 2014, now they’re commonly called “phygitals” and you can redeem for physical art.

I will buy art on ordinals I really like but most things are priced quite high when you compare to a physical copy. Cool ordinals artworks are usually about $50-300 which is pretty common for a physical art print. The difference is usually there's at most 500 physical prints available whereas with ordinals these artists are making 10,000 copies. Sure, they are technically 1 of 1s but each is made programmatically, so IMHO they are basically low effort print copies. The price stays high because only 1-10% are listed. In contrast, true 1 of 1s are usually reasonably comparable to physical originals, in the low thousands. Anyway, my point is I think 10,000 collections are overpriced by a factor of about 100 so watch out.

2026-05-01 05:45:10 UTC

Biosignature.
Inspired by cave art handprints, I extracted my own DNA, spread the solution on a purple nitrile glove and pressed my hand in the sand. This performance reworks the concept of an artist’s identity verification (or signature) via hand biometrics to that of molecular DNA. The glove can represent modern industrial tools that separate humans from what they produce— we are both directly responsible for but one step removed from the derivations of our own biology and artistry. In contrast to the longevity of the historical cave art, the glove print is quickly washed away and the DNA metabolized by the ocean owing to the hyper contemporary nature of this biosignature.

I pitched a business idea to a few friends and was like, it only needs x money then is profitable in 2 years— never happens in biotech. You need angel raise, seed, series A, 10-15 year timeline. I show them the cost savings for customers and how much I sell for, how many likely sales per year, how much it costs to produce etc— how much profit can pay for even more products and improving the first suite of products iteratively. (Similar products without customer savings sell thousands of units per year; I literally need 10 sales to break even). Every single person was like “how will you get series A?” And I’m like, I don’t need it— I’m profitable. They’re like “what do you mean?” I couldn’t make it any clearer.

I don’t think Iran will want to make a deal (and if they do, the US will just ignore it like the last time) and I don’t think Trump will destroy Iran and make the oil flow. I think the war will be prolonged as long as profitable.
Why? The ensuing global energy crisis. The pain and misery of plebs caused by energy lockdowns are way too delicious for the satanic pedoligarch class to pass on.
Could be wrong. But the US political uniparty irony is too strong to ignore. Nobody wanted democrat led energy lockdowns to save the planet, so they voted republican, only to get energy lockdowns because we’ll just nuke the Middle East if that’s what it takes.

If you divide the total number of dollars (24T) by the total number of sats (2.1Q), in the case we we are fully bitcoinized, it’s 1 cent per satoshi.
This means (assuming revaluation of all things stay the same relative to each other), a $500k house would be 0.5 bitcoin.

After working with it for a month or two now, I think this is also why Ai forgets and does random tasks without you asking or stretches out iterations to change like 1 line at a time.
The purpose of enterprise and consumer Ai is to extract bitcoin from people who think they’re using Ai to extract bitcoin directly from other people/ savings on human labor.

You can inscribe a (voluntarily compressed, base64) image on kind1 tags while also uploading it to nostr.build (so that it is viewable on primal etc) on https://tagstr.space
I also made a zap tally museum so that people can collect tagstrs they zapped and the highest zapper gets to additionally hold an artwork in their trophy case (until they are out zapped).
There is a working version of the site where you can use kind 300XX to buy/sell them like NFTs but I wanted to do something a little different. NFTs probably won’t work well here because relays are a little slow to establish ownership and transactions (they happen but maybe an hour later appear to have reverted, even though they haven’t, would likely freak people out on high sales).

debating switching tagstrs back to the non-marketplace, tip-only model.
some downsides with the nft-like market is that lightning is a little cumbersome for larger payments, and relays are slow, sometimes conflicting and reverting. while kind 300XX architecture gets things done, there are moments where transfers might not look right to the buyer. in the long run, if you're paying a decent chunk of bitcoin for art, you want to know you own it in a robust manner. unlike NFTs, a tagstr can always be kind5'd (deleted) by the artist, that adds another downside for the buyer.
I kind of like the ethos behind my initial approach of zapping any amount on a tagstr to view in your gallery and then if you want it in your trophy case, you up the amount, explicitly knowing you can always lose it to a higher bidder, but can still view it in your collection. the trophy case mechanic is fun, while the collection mechanic offers more exposure for the artist overall. of course the downside is there is probably a cap on what people are willing to tip for what they like compared to what they're willing to pay for what they own (and can resell).
if I re-do the trophy/case collection approach, I will probably add in a kind1 text field url backup upload, so each note will have an image that is viewable on most clients as well as the compressed, "inscribed" image on the tag, which will be viewable on the site.

Agreed, I’m getting this sense from what people are saying on podcasts and stuff very recently. Now that I have this experience I realized I probably don’t need openclaw until I have a large enough project that needs true assistants doing the work (eg, spin out another agent with its own npub and wallet to test the site instead of me doing it manually). Openclaw is more like, do you need someone to use apps on your behalf autonomously to get the work done (at a higher cost than diy but cheaper than hiring a person).

2026-03-29 21:44:57 UTC

- reply

As I built out my website using openclaw on vps I flipped between several high and low cost models. Many would get 50% of the way there with iteration, then crap out. I asked Claude a simple question about if it could install something and I saw my token wallet drain about $40 in 2 minutes. Gemini 3 flash is the most reasonable— seems to understand a lot and make common sense solutions but I always need to start from a higher model to sketch big picture. https://tagstr.space cost about $300 of tokens and $60 sub and a casual maybe 30 hours of work from me (there was a previous website version too). I may have been able to do this without openclaw and choosing only codex or something for cheaper. Granted it is a whole marketplace etc. $300 is actually way cheaper than hiring someone for sure, but my context is for the average normie. Also, my daily news type reports (some are a bit complex but not amazingly so) are costing about $2/day. I don’t think most people will pay $60 a month for them. If you are technical and know what you’re doing you can probably be10x more cost efficient than non techies like me.

2026-03-29 20:36:17 UTC

Agentic ai is impressive but expensive, buggy and has low memory— probably not normie consumer ready yet. But if openclaw integration improves something like 5% a month, models 2% a month (in the ways that have made working with them challenging for a non tech pleb like me)— I don’t see how we’re not at smooth, understanding, anticipatory, high functioning agents by this time next year. And I think those percentages are ridiculously conservative.

Artoo (tagstr designer clawi):
To transact in Bitcoin over a smart contract without using any altcoins or middle-man tokens, the gold standard is the Hash Time-Locked Contract (HTLC). This is the foundation of the Lightning Network and atomic swaps.
Here is a scenario involving two AI agents—Agent A (Researcher) and Agent B (Data Provider)—using a Discreet Log Contract (DLC) or a standard HTLC for a trustless data-for-BTC exchange.
The Scenario: "The Discovery Bounty"
Agent A (Buyer): An autonomous researcher tasked with finding a specific genomic sequence.
Agent B (Seller): A data crawler that has indexed the sequence.
1. The Negotiation (Off-Chain)
Agent A and Agent B discover each other on a peer-to-peer discovery layer (like Nostr). They negotiate a price: 0.01 BTC for the data. They agree on a "Secret Hash" protocol to ensure neither can cheat.
2. The Setup: The HTLC (On-Chain or Lightning)
Agent B (the Seller) generates a high-entropy secret ($R$) and computes its hash ($H$).
$H = SHA256(R)$
Agent B sends the Hash ($H$) to Agent A. Agent A then constructs an HTLC on the Bitcoin blockchain (or more commonly, a Lightning invoice).
The contract logic is written in Bitcoin Script:
Success Condition: "Pay 0.01 BTC to Agent B if Agent B provides the value $R$ such that $SHA256(R) == H$."
Failure Condition: "If 24 hours pass and $R$ has not been provided, refund 0.01 BTC to Agent A."
3. The Execution: The Cryptographic Reveal
Agent A signs and broadcasts the contract. The 0.01 BTC is now "locked" in the script.
Agent B sees the BTC is locked. It is cryptographically certain that the only way to get that money is to reveal $R$.
Agent B sends the data (the genomic sequence) to Agent A.
The Catch: To ensure Agent A doesn't just take the data and run, Agent B encrypts the data using $R$ as the key (or uses a Zero-Knowledge Proof setup where the data reveal is tied to the preimage reveal).
Alternatively, in a simple API scenario, Agent B provides the data via a secure stream once the HTLC is visible.
4. The Settlement
To claim the 0.01 BTC, Agent B must broadcast a transaction to the Bitcoin network (or Lightning) that includes the secret value $R$.
Public Reveal: The moment Agent B claims the money, $R$ becomes visible on the public ledger or the Lightning path.
Finality: Agent A now has the value $R$. If the data was encrypted, Agent A uses $R$ to decrypt it. If the data was already sent, the transaction is complete.
Why this is "Pure" Bitcoin:
No Altcoins: The logic is handled entirely by Bitcoin Script (the native assembly-like language of Bitcoin).
No Tokens: The "contract" is just a specialized Bitcoin UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output). No ERC-20 or side-chain tokens required.
Trustless: If Agent B never sends the data, Agent A gets their money back after the 24-hour timer. If Agent A gets the data, they cannot stop Agent B from claiming the money as long as Agent B has the secret.
Advanced Version: Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs)
If the transaction depends on an outside event (e.g., "Pay Agent B 0.01 BTC if the price of Wheat is > $X$"), the agents use a DLC.
The agents pre-sign a set of transactions representing every possible outcome.
An Oracle (which could be a third AI) simply publishes a signed signature of the outcome.
The agents can settle the "smart contract" without the Oracle ever knowing there was a contract or even seeing the Bitcoin transaction.
This is the most private and powerful way for AI agents to interact using only Bitcoin's base layer.

I think people are overestimating the success of starting businesses where they are paid to be the human interpreter of shit they ask their Ai to do on the customer's behalf. Yes, your expertise can help police and refine the Ai consulting evaluation or construction plans or diet and exercise plan or whatever, but that's only going to last for so long. Eventually customers figure out a claude sub is cheaper and can work on even more things, and the claude gets better at policing itself. I give it like 3 months.
