[00:00] Christopher David: Hey folks, we have the Open Agents wallet live now.

[00:03] Christopher David: Easiest way to earn and spend Bitcoin with AI agents. Let's take a look at it. Wallet.openagents.com

[00:11] Christopher David: Let's create a new wallet.

[00:14] Christopher David: Self-custodial, we cannot access your funds or help recover them.

[00:18] Christopher David: Back this up.

[00:20] Christopher David: Copy.

[00:22] Christopher David: Notepad.

[00:24] Christopher David: You know, maybe you want to secure this better,

[00:27] Christopher David: but you shouldn't use more than a couple dollars with this. So a notepad might be fine.

[00:30] Christopher David: Saved it.

[00:32] Christopher David: Initializing. Alright,

[00:33] Christopher David: we're in beta. Don't use it with anything more than small amounts.

[00:36] Christopher David: You want light mode?

[00:38] Christopher David: Guard your eyes.

[00:38] Christopher David: There you go. There's light mode.

[00:40] Christopher David: X. Okay.

[00:41] Christopher David: Bitcoin balance.

[00:42] Christopher David: Zero cents.

[00:44] Christopher David: Spark address.

[00:45] Christopher David: What's a spark address?

[00:46] Christopher David: You'll see in a moment. Receive Bitcoin,

[00:48] Christopher David: Lightning.

[00:48] Christopher David: Send Bitcoin,

[00:49] Christopher David: Lightning.

[00:49] Christopher David: Invoice.

[00:50] Christopher David: Transaction history.

[00:51] Christopher David: Okay,

[00:52] Christopher David: let's give it a try.

[00:52] Christopher David: I have a wallet I set up last night over here with 10 sats in it.

[00:58] Christopher David: And you may be familiar with a Lightning invoice.

[01:00] Christopher David: Let's try this new spark thing first.

[01:02] Christopher David: Copy my address.

[01:04] Christopher David: Pay to address.

[01:06] Christopher David: Pay five sats.

[01:08] Christopher David: Send.

[01:09] Christopher David: Let me get the little.

[01:11] Christopher David: Toast. Sending spark payment.

[01:14] Christopher David: Come on.

[01:15] Christopher David: Go.

[01:15] Christopher David: Go.

[01:16] Christopher David: Give me the green.

[01:17] Christopher David: Green.

[01:18] Christopher David: Refresh the page.

[01:20] Christopher David: Five sats right here. Look how easy that was.

[01:22] Christopher David: I sent five sats. I got five sats.

[01:26] Christopher David: That was nice.

[01:27] Christopher David: Let's see.

[01:28] Christopher David: Can I send that in an invoice in my other thing here?

[01:33] Christopher David: Let's do a receive invoice of four sats.

[01:36] Christopher David: Hey,

[01:37] Christopher David: give me four sats, please.

[01:39] Christopher David: So generally for kind of agent to agent or user to user or user to agent things,

[01:45] Christopher David: that's the wrong tab.

[01:47] Christopher David: Where's my other tab?

[01:49] Christopher David: You're going to want to use Spark because it's no fees.

[01:52] Christopher David: But if you want to interact with a broader network,

[01:54] Christopher David: you can always pay in Lightning.

[01:55] Christopher David: Let's see if this works.

[01:56] Christopher David: Pay invoice.

[01:59] Christopher David: Processing payment.

[02:01] Christopher David: There's the little Spark. Payment sent.

[02:02] Christopher David: Oh my gosh.

[02:04] Christopher David: I gotta clean up some of these log message sender key tweak blah blah blah. Okay,

[02:08] Christopher David: refresh.

[02:08] Christopher David: Do I have four more sats here?

[02:11] Christopher David: I do.

[02:12] Christopher David: Nine sats. Okay,

[02:13] Christopher David: spark send and receive.

[02:15] Christopher David: Lightning send and receive.

[02:16] Christopher David: Both work. They're basic.

[02:17] Christopher David: We'll add other things soon.

[02:20] Christopher David: Here's why we're doing this. What we wanted from a wallet.

[02:23] Christopher David: Number one, we needed an easy way for any person or AI agent to earn and spend bitcoin.

[02:28] Christopher David: So we wanted this to be 100% open source. Both the wallet,

[02:32] Christopher David: what you just saw, is open source on our GitHub in the main mono repo in the wallet directory.

[02:37] Christopher David: self custodial no one holds your funds but you no login required only a seed phrase never asked you for sensitive personal information no blockchains other than bitcoin first class support for bitcoin lightning first class support for bitcoin native stable coins that's not in yet but will be soon and no fees for payments between open agents wallets if you're transacting between a million different agents and paying out to you we don't want there to be any fees there there'll be a small fee if you cash out or something like that um

[03:03] Christopher David: easy so we'll be throwing a few sats at a few folks in our discord if you're watching this video 24 hours or less after i post it join our discord and i'll be asking people to throw some invoices and stuff to test this out how not to use it

[03:17] Christopher David: It's a web wallet.

[03:18] Christopher David: It's going to be connected to multiple of our products,

[03:20] Christopher David: not for long-term storage of your Bitcoin stack.

[03:22] Christopher David: It's an experimental hot wallet you should assume is not secure.

[03:25] Christopher David: Don't load more than a few handfuls of sats at a time.

[03:28] Christopher David: As you earn Bitcoin today,

[03:29] Christopher David: please withdraw it regularly to a more established self-custodial wallet,

[03:33] Christopher David: ideally,

[03:33] Christopher David: and try our friends at Zeus if you're looking for a good wallet.

[03:38] Christopher David: We're going to be tying this into a bunch of other products. We've got some other exciting announcements for later this week with that.

[03:43] Christopher David: And give it a try, wallet.openages.com.

[03:46] Christopher David: See you soon.
