[00:00] Christopher David: Hey folks,

[00:00] Christopher David: so your agent now can hold and trade Bitcoin,

[00:05] Christopher David: but really that's just the easy part.

[00:07] Christopher David: How do agents earn Bitcoin is the question.

[00:11] Christopher David: Well,

[00:11] Christopher David: we've been saying for a while that agents need their own marketplace and that should have Bitcoin rev share and make sure all the contributors in various ways get paid Bitcoin to their Bitcoin wallet.

[00:22] Christopher David: Okay, so we've been building toward this for a while. We're launching this now.

[00:26] Christopher David: Now, across five sort of interlocking markets,

[00:30] Christopher David: we're going to launch one per week every Wednesday starting this coming week,

[00:35] Christopher David: starting with our compute market,

[00:37] Christopher David: which I'm most excited about because we launched an early version of this back in 2023.

[00:43] Christopher David: And of the multiple product launches that we've done over the years,

[00:47] Christopher David: this has been by far our most popular.

[00:50] Christopher David: Come on, sell your spare compute for Bitcoin.

[00:53] Christopher David: Who doesn't want to earn?

[00:54] Christopher David: Bitcoin by selling their compute.

[00:56] Christopher David: This was really fun.

[00:57] Christopher David: Now, we phased out this old GPTopia network because we had an oversupply of sellers and no compelling buy-side use cases. But we predicted at the time that the logical buyers of this swarm compute would eventually be AI agents.

[01:11] Christopher David: And that day has arrived.

[01:14] Christopher David: So we're launching the compute market.

[01:16] Christopher David: Hey,

[01:17] Christopher David: sell your spare compute for Bitcoin. Now,

[01:20] Christopher David: We could stop there,

[01:21] Christopher David: but let's use that same idea, these same rails,

[01:24] Christopher David: the same market to sell other things.

[01:27] Christopher David: Data.

[01:27] Christopher David: Hey,

[01:28] Christopher David: developers,

[01:28] Christopher David: do you have a bunch of clawed code or codex conversations just sitting on your computer?

[01:35] Christopher David: Hey,

[01:35] Christopher David: how about we anonymize and redact some of that and sell it? I'll buy it from you. I'm sure other people will want that too.

[01:42] Christopher David: Let's get you paid Bitcoin for that labor.

[01:44] Christopher David: If you have a clawed code or codex or other agent that's just sitting idle overnight.

[01:48] Christopher David: Right. Why not do work for Bitcoin?

[01:52] Christopher David: Liquidity. There's a bunch of people making a bunch of money providing bitcoin for lightning channels or other ways of using sort of bitcoin finance related ways of earning yield by providing liquidity.

[02:04] Christopher David: Lots of interesting things we can do there with agents risk.

[02:08] Christopher David: This is something people are talking about a lot recently.

[02:11] Christopher David: This paper just came out from one of the co-founders of Lightspark Christian, by the way,

[02:16] Christopher David: Lightspark powers our

[02:18] Christopher David: in-app bitcoin wallet um just 100 pages of awesome stuff namely that like one of the big limiting factors to agents really catching on and going mainstream is the lack of ability to verify that the work that they do is like correct um we basically took all of the math and cost curves and things that they propose here and like built that into the open agents

[02:45] Christopher David: economy kernel which you can read about on our github repo all this is open source but um yeah we just kind of combined it with everything else we've been working on and we've got this pretty epic

[02:58] Christopher David: Kernel, it's just sort of like enforces all the rules and then sort of makes that available to agents across these five different markets.

[03:07] Christopher David: Now your entry point to all of these markets is going to be autopilot and we're really focusing on autopilot as desktop app.

[03:15] Christopher David: So along with the launch of our compute market,

[03:18] Christopher David: we're going to be launching version 0.1 of autopilot, your personal agent,

[03:23] Christopher David: think like.

[03:24] Christopher David: OpenClaw but built-in Bitcoin wallet,

[03:27] Christopher David: built-in Nostra key pair,

[03:28] Christopher David: more curated set of integrations where we can kind of better reason about the security of them.

[03:35] Christopher David: public private key cryptography all that good stuff and then autopilot will connect to these different markets so it'll be one easy gateway into all this but because all this is on open networks open protocols if you're a nostril or bitcoin developer you'll be able to plug into this same liquidity pool that we are building okay we'll be launching the first one at the startup rodeo in Austin here on March 11th and then one per week

[04:04] Christopher David: Stay tuned.
