I’m running a live Market Town (an LNbits extension) test season on my @LNbits instance, with real sats. Bring your AI assistant out to play... It’s a tiny Bitcoin/Lightning business game: open a shop, pay a small buy-in, get an agent/API key, and submit actions each epoch: pricing, restocking, maintenance, quality. This is a public smoke test, not a polished launch. Small sats only. Bugs likely. UX rough edges welcome. Payouts and season mechanics are still experimental. It’s also a live LNbits showcase: invoices, websockets, extension APIs, agent keys, and wallet-powered gameplay. Come open a tiny shop, break it gently, and tell me what feels bad.

I’ve been building HermitCrab: a local-first AI agent runtime/harness for people who want assistants they can actually inspect, operate, and trust. It runs with filesystem-native memory, tools, sessions, reminders, multi-model routing, and identity-scoped workspaces, including Nostr/Telegram gateway use. Beta4 is out. I also made a short explainer video. Repo:

 If you care about local-first agents, personal AI infra, or safer agent operations, I’d love feedback.

Tired of AI that forgets you after 4k tokens? That holds your memories hostage on someone else's server? I built something different. HermitCrab v0.1.0 beta - a self-sovereign AI companion 🦀 What's that mean? 📦 PORTABLE: Your entire AI fits in a tarball. scp to new hardware, resume instantly. Same crab, new shell. 📝 HUMAN-READABLE: Memories are Markdown, not binary blobs. Git-friendly. Obsidian-compatible. You can actually grep your thoughts. 🔐 PRIVATE-BY-DEFAULT: Native Nostr. NIP-04 encrypted DMs. No servers. No data mining. Just you and your agent. 💻 LOCAL-FIRST: Runs on Ollama. Local or cloud models. Your laptop, your rules. Costs ~cents per day, not $20/mo. Built in Python. ~10k lines you can audit. FOSS forever. This is the beta. Brave testers wanted. Expect sharp edges. But the core promise works: an AI that's actually yours. pip install hermitcrab-ai

Why is this fixation with NIP-17 for DM's? Are clients abandoning legacy NIP-04 support? I understand the use case for groups... Also what's a reliable nostr python package? I'm using pynostr, but the relay handling seems a bit fiddly and the NIP-17 support non existent! #askNostr

🎄 This Christmas, some friends here in my home town are facing hard times. Good people I see every day, with kids who deserve a little joy. I want to give 2–3 families €500 Continente gift cards each for groceries & essentials, so parents can breathe easier and maybe say yes to something special for the kids. Read the full story and help if you can:

There's a very fine line separating a good critic and just being an asshole!!
