After years of predictions about AI agents spending bitcoin, in 2026 it's finally here. @Roland sat down with @Sherry from @Roxom TV to discuss the first AI agent that spawned a "child" bot and paid for its own infrastructure using the bitcoin lightning network. We cover: - How is @openclaw different from ChatGPT? - The first autonomous AI purchase ever recorded on @PayPerQ and @npub1lnvp...7vjj - Now everyone can build bitcoin apps Read more about the experiment on Roxom TV and why this matters for AI and bitcoin:

image Alby CLI is the Alby Go for agents. It works with any NWC @npub19hg5...yv9p wallet. Watch Alice pay Bob in 30 seconds ⚡ Alby CLI gives your agent a wallet interface with budgeted access to your wallet. The Alby CLI skill teaches your agent exactly how to interact with an NWC wallet using Alby CLI: - send and receive payments - pay to lightning addresses - fiat conversions - list transactions - lookup payments - much more. Add the Alby CLI skill to your agent with a single command: `npx skills add getAlby/alby-cli-skill` On OpenClaw you can just tell it to "install https://getalby.com/cli/SKILL.md as a custom skill".

Trustless auctions on #Bitcoin are here! ⚡️ Satoshi’s Auction House lets you sell goods and get paid without ever taking custody of user funds. To celebrate, we’re auctioning a 1-year Alby Hub Cloud subscription incl. a Lightning channel. Bid now and get a Xmas present! 🎁👇 https://satoshisauction.house/listings/033973b6-b06e-4090-811d-5d28ca62113d ---------------- Satoshi’s Auction House uses HOLD invoices to enable conditional payment logic and trust-minimized escrow all built directly on Bitcoin. Learn how it works. 👇
Build Conditional Payment Logic Into Your App
"Hold invoices" let you build conditional payment logic and trust minimized escrow services right into your app on top of bitcoin. Learn how.
 ---------------- The app removes trust in the buyer and uses #Nostr for accounts, adding transparency for the seller. And instead of seeing the HOLD-invoice timeout as a limitation, it embraces the fun: fast bidding — just like a real-world auction. Perfect for livestreams, conferences, meetups and more. ---------------- The winner will be announced at the end of our Community Call, 3–4 PM CET. Join and listen in: https://cal.com/getalby/communitycall
