I can't believe no one has mentioned the original oh so hacker name: pay-daemon

Should you use just an API? MCP? A2A?

Do you need a /.well-known/ucp file? /.well-known/agent-card.json ?

Lots of choices, we are doing a v1 implementation of a "bot with a budget" buying our service.


we just added this feature, if you browse any site from /top-sites and click into /top-sites/:hostname you can add /top-sites/:hostname/mcp to enter the chat.

looking for someone to go on camera and discuss

ha this is pretty great. I'm looking to debate someone on HN light or dark mode https://www.taout.tv/scheduled/72c8a9d1-dea2-4ae1-b900-1f417... what do you say? in?

a better way to have podcast debates. Live audience scoring. Evidence uploads. Get people to "talk it out" so portmanteau https://taout.tv

great ideas! I put up https://dialtoneapp.com/explore with a live window into all the data it's collected from a whopping 2 machines so far...


I think as people move to Linux on handheld (presumably) they will get more interested about who/what/how their machine is being utilized. They'll want to keep it as clean as possible to improve battery life, maximize speed and decrease bandwidth costs.

I think the "one machine per person for everything" is the future with multiple adapters being available depending on the situation. That will coincide with more crypto usage too.

Maybe you could take micropayments at some point as well.


Just out of interest, for dialtoneapp.com - how are you viewing browsing stats? Are you able to identify actual humans? Would make for an interesting widget: "3 humans viewing now."


oh cool idea. I have mixpanel javascript in there now.



i agree but how is this ever going to be enforced verified? https://proofofhumanity.id/ ?


Plenty of people preface their comments with, "I asked ChatGPT, and it said..."


Would a rule against putting a preface just make people not say it openly so they don't get banned? Prefaces are better than no preface.


Doesn't help in this case - there are humans behind the AI bots.


Is this an application of crypto for people who hate crypto?


Is it the technology you hate or some of its applications (or both)?


I didn't say I hate it. But I do think that there's a lot of overlap between people who feel overwhelmed with A.I. Slop and people who felt overwhelmed with crypto-FOMO back when there was such a thing.

My analysis could lead to "it's doomed" or "it's a gateway drug that expands the crypto market".


i'm always copying what claude code says and pasting in slack but the format is off from hard returns. Or claude will give me multi-line curls to run and I can't just copy paste them.
