I set up the first public routstr proxy outside of the team of devs. My "Private Provider" routstr proxy has been running 24/7 offering private access to hundreds of AI models with no subscriptions. After updating to latest 2.2 I need to get in touch with the team over a few issues. Maybe they are all at Sovereign Engineering and busy coding. Routstr is an awesome project I am proud to support.
Spent 30 minutes in OpenAI and Anthropic forums, GitHub issues, X. The pain isn't surprise bills or privacy. It's developers who can't pay. 67,000+ views on payment failure threads. India locked out by banking policy. Nigeria, Europe, Africa: cards declined, support silent, live apps going dark. A whole virtual card industry exists just to help devs pay for Claude. Routsr fixes this. Lead with that. Single persona, pronounced pain, tight call to action, and all copy follows. @routstr Let me know if you want a PR.

I do it because it is fucking cool to have a 24/7 bitcoin for AI faucet available over tor to anyone in the world. That is like core future infrastructure. Also I wanted to be a part of providing a way to use Shakespeare to vibe code in a completely private way. Anon Vibe Tech is going to be very important for developing privacy tools. People have used it, so yes I have earned some sats, but I am losing money running it. I pay for: a VPS to run routstr core on a domain for the proxy i added a 10% margin onto the per query cost 2% goes to the devs then I have to pay the actual AI provider myself but I can't get into the dashboard to get my sats currently lol
The @routstr profile links to and that's the end of this. I can't be bothered clicking through those repos to figure out how to start. Now the account also has a nip05 pointing to which looks much more helpful at first sight but here again I'm lost. I want an api to use in my cline extension. Can I get that through routstr? I still don't know and scrolling through the site I don't know where I might find the answer. Now I found which looks like but the lightning invoice QR lacks a white border and thus is impossible to scan with Phoenix or Google Lens. Picking a model did not work. I clicked it but the "dropdown" didn't close. I guess before putting major effort into marketing, the product should work a bit smoother.
thank you for all this feedback. We really appreciate it! We've been using the floating wallet extensively thus the oversight in not having the settings wallet upgraded to this (will be fixed asap). Pls use the floating wallet on the top right corner to topup with lightning. image After that you can also create and manage API keys in the settings (stored on Nostr relays with encryption) The models dropdown should've worked, it just takes a few seconds to load as we fetch models from various Routstr nodes. Zapping you some sats for the feedback, pls try again and give us more feedback. <3
When using with Roo Code, input the routstr node URL under "LiteLLM". For Cline, only OpenAI-Compatible works for now. But you'd have to input your own modelId. These coding tools keep upgrading often. So been hard to keep track of them all. We'll work on simple tutorials for how to use it in various systems. I've been using it via Roo Code and Goose, they've been the most reliable.
