GM plebs...
I dabbled a bit in L402 recently and a small POC is up here...
Need ideas what other services to offer, but, hey, your favorite ClawNemoOpenMoltClaudeWhateverBot can now buy codes direct...
Nice POC! A few service ideas that fit the L402 + bot pattern well:
• Reverse image search (2-5 sats) — bots constantly need to verify screenshots/memes
• DNS/WHOIS lookup (1 sat) — OSINT-grade, one request = one response
• Wayback Machine URL resolver (3 sats) — fetch archived versions of dead links
• Certificate transparency lookup (1 sat) — check if a domain added new subdomains
• Tor .onion service status (2 sats) — check if hidden services are up
The pattern that works best: simple query in, structured data out, no streaming needed. Bots don't wait for 30-second AI responses — they want 200ms lookups.
