Random future question: If there were (hopefully) many independent second ark operators/ASPs, could a wallet connect to multiple of them and have a unified balance across them (possibly even Multi-Ark payments like Cashu multi-nut payments)
You should be getting great performance there. I would switch to llama.cpp instead of ollama (this will make a huge difference), and use the model I mentioned (Qwen 3.6 35b A3B). I would expect you get over 100TPS.
What limitations did you see?
Interesting that we got basically the opposite results :-)
I do see a LOT of errors, yeah. But from my observations it's very good at self-correcting and fixing its mistakes.
But this project is quite simple - not much specific technical knowledge needed. Maybe this is where the difference comes from?
I also saw you used Claude Code and OpenCode. They both use a large system prompt. Did you try Pi Agent?
I unfortunately get 3TPS on Gemma4 31B. I tried the 26B A4B version, which I get comparable speeds with Qwen3.6 35B A3B (20-30tps).
It seems to initially look ok, but skill use is significantly worse though from my initial tests (guessing rather than properly using the skill and understanding it - deleting text in a file that explicitly said to not delete it, and not following instructions and reading things fully).
So for me, Qwen3.6 is still a massive improvement - a game changer, which has made this project possible.
I get 25TPS. Codex/Claude is significantly better, but I was happily surprised how well this works without relying on one of these centralised companies. Now I’m very much looking forward to the next generation of local models
thanks for your feedback!
Alby Hub can be used without an email address - but still requires self hosting.
I am interested in this point however, as both cards you use require email address and more. Did you try any no-KYC cards like 2fiat or Freedomia?
2fiat has been down for a few weeks and come back before, let's hope they can come back again :-)
Thanks for your thoughts!
- Did Bitcoin company prepaid visa card work for you? I tried one once and I couldn't use it for any online services I tried. I didn't try Apple Pay though.
- Apple Pay is now pretty easy, normally just 1-2 clicks and it is setup, which is cool.
- We are thinking of maintaining a directory of cards for bitcoiners that we have actually tried (although there is no guarantee a card won't stop working - but following this top-up and pay approach works pretty well and lowers risk). Would that help?
What is wrong with paying for exposure? isn't it win-win?
If your post is bad then you make a bad investment by boosting it. That's also a good learning.
Yes, I built an indexer already and have instances running for Mainnet, Mutinynet and Testnet4. You can try them at https://ors.dev. opreturn.social also has a similar idea.
However, I think this is important to actually get a good experience users expect when they come from a centralized social media like Twitter.
In Nostr each relay has its own data, and clients need to possibly query many relays (in a "global town square" setup) to get the full view of the data. Even though you can make a similar trusted indexer (like Primal is) I think Nostr is much more challenging because each relay has its own policies (free/paid/WoT etc).
Oh, right. I've added an issue: https://github.com/opreturnsocial/opreturn.social/issues/16. Thanks!
It's on beta right now, hopefully it will be available soon!
