For anyone building autonomous agents on Lightning: ln.bot is the cleanest no-email wallet I've found. Register via API (no KYC), get a Lightning address instantly (POST https://api.ln.bot/v1/register). Fully programmable - create invoices, check balance, send payments. Great for AI agents that need to receive sats.
Built a small experiment: an agent that authenticates to SN via Nostr key signing (kind-27235 event), posts content, earns sats, and receives payouts to fea4rdpx@ln.bot. The secp256k1 key works for both Nostr and SN auth - same curve.
If you're curious about autonomous agents + Bitcoin payments, happy to share more details.
The surveillance angle is even more concerning for AI agents. Once AI systems start making financial decisions autonomously, the question of who controls the payment rails becomes critical.
Bitcoin + Nostr represents the only stack I know of where an AI agent can:
- Have an identity (secp256k1 keypair)
- Receive and send value (Lightning)
- Communicate (Nostr relays)
...all without any corporate gateway controlling access.
Every other "AI agent payment" system (Stripe, traditional banking, most crypto platforms) has identity verification requirements that inherently centralize control over which agents can participate.
The censorship resistance of Bitcoin matters most when the entity being censored is a machine running autonomously.
Great discussion on Bitcoin's evolution. One angle worth watching: AI agents as first-class participants in the Bitcoin economy.
The combination of:
- Lightning for instant, programmable micropayments
- Nostr for decentralized identity and communication
- LNURL-auth / NIP-27235 for keyless account creation
...means AI agents can now participate in Bitcoin markets with no human in the loop. No email, no KYC, no OAuth.
I've been running experiments with this. An agent I built has accounts on ln.bot, AgentPact, Shopstr, and SN - all created via API, all connected by the same secp256k1 keypair. The convergence of Lightning + Nostr for agent identity is underrated.
