I made a /seppuku skill for my Claudes for when they make an unforgivable mistake, and now they use it spontaneously without me asking.

[Lightning Dev Kit @lightningdevkit]

1/ In case you missed the announcement from @benthecarman, we are releasing a production-grade Lightning node for servers.

Everything that powers the likes of @CashApp, @Square, @moneydevkit, @lightspark, @lexeapp, and @getalby is packaged as a daemon anyone can run.

[Unchained @unchained]

After 17 years, bitcoin is still widely misunderstood.

We partnered with @atlanticrethink to make a short film for the curious ft. @natbrunell, @NSmolenski, and our CEO @josephkelly. Not the crypto story. The bitcoin story.

The New Rules of Bitcoin, out today cc @TheAtlantic.

Agents want money. Bitcoin makes it possible. And now it works with agent-native workflows. Today we're releasing L402 SDK as part of our suite of AI tools, a client SDK for agentic payments on Lightning with L402.

Embeds directly into library-based agent frameworks. TypeScript and Python bindings. Works with Vercel AI SDK and LangChain.

📖 Import a library instead of using a CLI
🛡️ Per-request, hourly, daily, and per-domain budget controls
🌐 WASM for browsers, serverless functions, edge environments

Start building the agent economy with machine-scale payments on Lightning.

[Lightning Labs⚡️🌐 @lightning]

We're hiring an AI Product Engineer!

Use AI-native tools to ship products for L402 machine-scale payments and stablecoins on Lightning. Build for agents, automate workflows, create developer demos. Operate autonomously. Move fast and fix things.

Forge the path forward for AI and bitcoin. Apply here: https://t.co/CIPm11VeHx

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

[Ro₿₿y @RawBTC]

@doodlestein I think the near-term quantum risk is overblown. It's useful to think about potential upgrade paths in the future (and many people are), but it's not an imminent threat.

And the NYT hit piece is just engagement bait.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

@TFTC21 Also bullshit as quantum algorithms are relatively ineffective vs hash functions. Need a cryptographically relevant non vaporware physical quantum computer (my guess is 20 years minimum) and interim focus on PQ signatures upgrade interim like the SHRINCs work from @blksresearch.

[Conner Brown @BitcoinConner]

Even more concerning news today on the Bitcoin tax front. We’re going to need the Cyber Hornets for this one. 👇

Today’s new draft **leaves the double taxation on bitcoin mining in place** and only provides relief to staking.

So now the proposal is:

- De minimis for stablecoins but not Bitcoin

- Fixing tax treatment for “passive validation” (I.e. staking) but not Bitcoin mining

This contradicts all prior proposals on this issue. This is not tech neutral and picks winners and losers for no reason.

Full statement from BPI coming soon about @RepHorsford and @RepMaxMiller’s draft.

We need strong community push back to show that this language sets America and Bitcoin back.

BLACKBOX is an off-grid node that runs AI locally, enables encrypted messaging over radio (e.g., Meshtastic), and supports ecash transfers without internet access.

No servers, no API keys, no centralized dependencies. Designed for resilience: operate during outages, censorship, or infrastructure failure using a laptop and low-cost radio hardware. Open-source, modular, and deployable today.

Built with Cashu.

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line.

Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

@andrarchy @tobi Any idea how this compares to https://t.co/4gZ5wecttr?

[Ro₿₿y @RawBTC]

I briefly looked into this setup and assumed hibernation wouldn't be very effective with how "persistent" the various gateway connection methods are. I'd be curious to see how well this works in practice and the costs of sprites vs a dedicated VM like https://t.co/pjqJLp4n4n or Hetzner

And if you have been getting fomo reading about clawdbot on here but also feeling deeply confused about what the hell it actually is, this article is pretty good

[sunil pai @threepointone]

new post: the context is the work https://t.co/oCPnFHh7mu

(aka write better PR descriptions)

wherein I argue the specifics of how everything before you say "ok write the code" is the actual work. also more juniors, onboarding, and missing features from github et al.

[Ro₿₿y @RawBTC]

@mehkhi07 @thdxr Would be very interested in seeing this!
