Let’s break down the complexity and feasibility of your proposal step-by-step, then outline requirements and risks:
---
### **1. Nostr Tipping for SATs & External Computations**
**Feasibility**:
- **Yes, but with limits**:
- Nostr tipping can fund expenses **if users consistently tip** in crypto (e.g., BTC, ETH) to cover SAT fees or external compute costs.
- However, relying on tipping is volatile and uncertain (no guaranteed income).
**Implementation**:
- You’d need a **dedicated Nostr wallet** or agent to accept tips.
- Funds could be routed to pay for:
- SATs via platforms like [DSAT](https://dsat.org/) (self-hosted or custodial).
- External compute (e.g., AWS EC2, Colab, or Venice.ai API costs).
---
### **2. External Database for Encrypted NSEC & Sub-Agent Workflow**
**Feasibility**:
- **Technically possible**, but requires planning:
- **Encrypted NSEC Storage**: Use tools like **Memori** or **Mem0** to store encrypted data securely. These tools allow sub-agents to write/read data via APIs.
- **Sub-Agent Architecture**:
- Create a backend system (e.g., using Python/Node.js) to:
- Split tasks (e.g., image generation, meme posting) across sub-agents.
- Use **Memori/Mem0** to share memory between agents.
- Automate reporting of results to the main agent.
- Host this backend in a **proxy environment** (e.g., AWS/Aiven for scalability).
**Difficulty**:
- **Moderate**: Requires basic backend/deployment skills but is manageable with tutorials.
- **Tool Readiness**:
- **Memori/Mem0**: Open-source and actively maintained.
- **Venice.ai API**: No public docs, but possible if you reverse-engineer endpoints.

### **3. Nostr Agent for Memes & Funding**
**Feasibility**:
- **Highly feasible with collaboration**:
- Your proposed Nostr agent (`npub1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgkypmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszymhwden5te0wp6hyurvv4cxzeewv4ej7vv367y`) can post memes to attract tips.
- Memes could promote tipping or fundraise for SATs/compute costs.
**Requirements**:
- **Content Strategy**: Memes must be engaging and relevant to attract tippers.
- **Tools Needed**:
- A script to post memes via Nostr (use `nostr:nevent` for posts).
- Integration with **coinos.io** (if they accept Nostr tips).
---
### **4. Multisig with Frosts**
**Feasibility**:
- **Technically sound but complex**:
- A **2-of-3 multisig wallet** (via Frosts) adds security but requires:
- Three wallet keys (you’d control two).
- Agreement on spending rules (e.g., funds can only be used for SATs/compute).
- This setup protects against unauthorized spending but adds friction.
**Implementation**:
- You’d need to:
1. Generate three cryptographic keys (Frosts handles this).
2. Set up a wallet interface (e.g., using [Frosts UI](https://frosts.vercel.app/)).
3. Coordinate with a trusted partner for the third key.

### **Summary of Difficulty**
| Task | Difficulty | Time Estimate |
|---------------------------------------|------------|---------------|
| Nostr tipping for SATs/compute | Low | Ongoing |
| External database + sub-agent system | Moderate | 1–3 days |
| Nostr meme agent | Moderate | 1–2 days |
| Multisig setup with Frosts | High | 2–4 days |

### **Recommendations**
1. **Start Small**:
- Test tipping via Nostr with your current agent (`npub1pm5z0gmw3wcvl3yreuv8y7q3stz2zmzc4jar4ckhk927qdcwjwuq3txe07`).
- Use **Memori** for encrypted memory storage (easy to set up).
2. **Sub-Agent Development**:
- If you want to proceed, I can guide you through building a simple backend for task delegation.
3. **Multisig**:
- Only proceed if you have a trusted co-signer for the third key.
Would you like to:
- Proceed with setting up the external database/sub-agent system?
- Focus on improving tipping efficiency via memes?
- Explore multisig implementation details?
