[00:00] Christopher David: Next on our roadmap is pay as you go revenue sharing basically streaming money between users of agents and builders of agents

[00:08] Christopher David: Eventually from agent to agent. I first heard the term streaming money years ago in a talk from early Bitcoin educator

[00:15] Christopher David: Andreas Antonopolis

[00:17] Christopher David: The full video is worth watching let's link below

[00:19] Christopher David: But here's 60 seconds of the highlights streaming video change the nature video streaming music change the nature of music

[00:27] Christopher David: What happens when we start streaming money?

[00:30] Christopher David: So now think about this for a second if I can do payments that are on a

[00:36] Christopher David: Millie second

[00:38] Christopher David: Frequency and

[00:40] Christopher David: That there is low as a Satoshi

[00:43] Christopher David: Why not get your salary paid every minute when you do micro payments over milliseconds the term cash flow

[00:52] Christopher David: Takes on a whole different meaning cash is a flow

[00:56] Christopher David: It's a continuous stream that has no meaning as an amount when I say streaming money

[01:03] Christopher David: It's gonna take 15 years for us to really understand what that does what that does to

[01:10] Christopher David: human payments what that does to corporate payments what that does to border payments what that does to the nation state

[01:17] Christopher David: I don't know what that will be yet

[01:20] Christopher David: But I do know one thing

[01:22] Christopher David: It's gonna be big

[01:25] Christopher David: So that's what we're going to focus on in the next few videos of this video series

[01:29] Christopher David: We want to pay Bitcoin to as many people as possible as much as possible as fast as possible with the easiest user experience

[01:37] Christopher David: We want open agents to pay you the most the fastest and the hardest money out there, which is Bitcoin

[01:42] Christopher David: So maybe you have a job that pays you every two weeks

[01:46] Christopher David: Maybe you qualify for X creator payouts, which pays I was trying to figure it out

[01:52] Christopher David: You know, pays you every eventually

[01:59] Christopher David: Kind of that's my summary of it every month after 60 days if you meet some criteria

[02:03] Christopher David: I don't even need to be the criteria

[02:05] Christopher David: I don't have 5 million impressions on your post and then

[02:10] Christopher David: Subscriptions should we do subscriptions we can do subscriptions with open agents

[02:15] Christopher David: I it doesn't think that I'm at least 18 years old. I'm I'm twice 18 years old friend us. Okay, whatever

[02:21] Christopher David: So X yeah, you know we can improve on that dramatically we can improve on open AI's implementation by infinity percent because they are not

[02:33] Christopher David: But we'll pay you every minute and maybe soon maybe faster than that, but I'll be happy if we could just get you paid every every minute that'd be cool

[02:39] Christopher David: All right, so here's how it works

[02:43] Christopher David: Here's how you get paid you sign up

[02:46] Christopher David: That's easy

[02:48] Christopher David: You log in with Twitter or X or an answer you do something valuable

[02:53] Christopher David: And that could be creating an agent that someone uses you can write an agent plug in or soon you can do other things like review an agent

[03:02] Christopher David: refer an agent

[03:04] Christopher David: right opposed

[03:08] Christopher David: Value what do we mean by valuable we mean someone finds value in what you're doing that they're willing to pay for

[03:17] Christopher David: That's it. That's the measuring stick if

[03:20] Christopher David: Someone pays for it whether they are using your agent and paying via agent credits for that

[03:28] Christopher David: Whether you're referring an agent and then that person pays for an agent via credits or you're writing a post that like someone tips

[03:38] Christopher David: We'll have a tipping function soon here

[03:40] Christopher David: Someone has paid for it and then you get paid and you'll get all some or most of that depending on

[03:49] Christopher David: For things like agents probably there will be multiple people who will get paid like anybody who writes a plug in that gets used

[03:55] Christopher David: We're gonna take a cut, but you know

[03:58] Christopher David: Anything that you do that's valuable when there's payments you get paid and then we're gonna build a little dashboards for

[04:04] Christopher David: Visualizing all of this and with this allows for is really fast feedback loops if you put up an agent that nobody

[04:09] Christopher David: cares about

[04:11] Christopher David: You know that you haven't built something useful or you haven't put it in front of the right people and you just it needs more work

[04:18] Christopher David: Market forces hooray so we think this is gonna start a flywheel

[04:22] Christopher David: That's gonna start really speeding up particularly once we have agents that do really cool things the idea here is that we want to

[04:29] Christopher David: Build the best agents and then sell them

[04:33] Christopher David: So

[04:35] Christopher David: We think that this will get

[04:37] Christopher David: Increasingly fast once we get our plugins UI

[04:41] Christopher David: We're gonna be launching that probably the first week of June or so so we've got about 15 of these plugins

[04:47] Christopher David: That people have created and we awarded some bounties those bounties are ending today

[04:54] Christopher David: Just because we've got enough

[04:58] Christopher David: The initial bounties submitted

[05:01] Christopher David: But the plugins from now on are gonna be paid via bref share

[05:07] Christopher David: So the builder of an agent

[05:10] Christopher David: Like the other UI is gonna get some payments and he plugins that are used to kind of upgrade it with advanced functionality

[05:15] Christopher David: Doing things like you know Bitcoin stats you want your agent to be able to pull in

[05:21] Christopher David: Information about the mm pool or the fees or the nodes or blah blah blah blah blah

[05:25] Christopher David: You can click that and now your agent has access to that

[05:29] Christopher David: So we've got a lot of that kind of functionality bill. We just got to kind of hook it up to the

[05:36] Christopher David: Agent via the UI

[05:38] Christopher David: So we'll be building that early June, but first we want to get this get this little

[05:45] Christopher David: The the funding flywheel and I'm willing this also this is kind of like the

[05:50] Christopher David: bigger picture of

[05:52] Christopher David: What we're doing and example payments they can split a bunch of different ways

[05:59] Christopher David: Okay, so the next few videos we're going to

[06:03] Christopher David: Show off the payments the payouts

[06:08] Christopher David: How we're making all this information publicly transparent and inspectable via accounting dashboards and

[06:14] Christopher David: Agent credit all that stuff are gonna be building this week and

[06:17] Christopher David: Then next week we'll start leaning more into the plugins UI. Okay, see you soon
