Trustless auctions on #Bitcoin are here! ⚡️
Satoshi’s Auction House lets you sell goods and get paid without ever taking custody of user funds.
To celebrate, we’re auctioning a 1-year Alby Hub Cloud subscription incl. a Lightning channel.
Satoshi’s Auction House uses HOLD invoices to enable conditional payment logic and trust-minimized escrow all built directly on Bitcoin.
Learn how it works. 👇
https://getalby.com/blog/build-conditional-payment-logic-into-your-app
The app removes trust in the buyer and uses #Nostr for accounts, adding transparency for the seller. And instead of seeing the HOLD-invoice timeout as a limitation, it embraces the fun: fast bidding — just like a real-world auction. Perfect for livestreams, conferences, meetups and more.
The winner will be announced at the end of our Community Call, 3–4 PM CET. Join and listen in:

What better time to make a release than during #bitcoin ATH 😉🚀
Alby Hub v1.18 is now live!
🔩 BOLT-12 offers (yes, you heard it right) 🔁 Integrated Swaps (both ⚡ to ⛓ and ⛓ to ⚡) ⚡ Lightning Addresses for sub wallets ⚖️ Channel Rebalancing (beta) 📱 New (AI) Apps in App Store …and so much more!
This is a fully packed release so let's dive in! 🧵
🚀 We just launched PaidMCP. The easiest way to build paid Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Monetize AI tools using open standards + #Bitcoin Lightning.
No Stripe. No chargebacks. No UI friction. Just sats.👇
https://blog.getalby.com/creating-paid-mcp-servers-with-paidmcp/
(2) Acc to AnthropicAI the "USB-C port for AI applications", MCPs are an open standard, but current solutions for paid MCP servers from Cloudflare and Stripe are not. 🫣 manual checkout pages in agent flows 😩 Difficult developer setup 😤 Delayed settlement and chargebacks
(3) PaidMCP is the open way to monetize AI tools. Built on the modelcontextprotocol sdk and leveraging
(the USB-C of lightning wallets) to handle payments. No Stripe needed. ⚡
PaidMCP will verify the payment, and then provide access to your tool as normal.
https://github.com/getAlby/paidmcp
(4) On the AI assistant side, with any wallet connected (for example via the Alby MCP server) customers can seamlessly pay for tool usage and set budgets to protect themselves against excess spending.
https://blog.getalby.com/alby-mcp-server-payments-for-your-ai-agent/
(5) Try PaidMCP or fork our PaidMCP Boilerplate and get started building paid tools right away. Let us know what you build! 🚀

Vote on the list above or drop us your ideas below 👇
Lots of exciting stuff brewing to make #Bitcoin payments more scalable and seamless! 🚀
How could a
-first wallet like Alby Hub work on mobile? A technical experiment 👇
https://blog.getalby.com/alby-hub-android-foreground-service-experiment/
Our goal: Keep the smooth Alby Hub experience of connecting apps of your choice, but make it even easier for new users to jump in.
So we tried something a bit more nostr-native: an Android Foreground Service! This lets us maintain a persistent WebSocket connection without needing push notification services.
It is running on a #Cashu wallet and could also play nicely with #Ark or #Spark!
We do many experiments like this one to see if the idea is viable. As it helps to shape our direction going forward we'd love to know: Would run Alby Hub as an Foreground Service on Android? 🔋📲
🧪Because who needs code when you’ve got vibes and AI?! 🧪
Have fun building #bitcoin games without any line of code with these prompts and tools in less than 15 minutes🎮
Part 1: Chat with your bitcoin lightning wallet using natural language powered by Codename Goose
Try it yourself with this NWC MCP Server: https://github.com/getalby/nwc-mcp-server
Part 2: Vibe code a bitcoin game using Cline and Google Gemini in one shot and two iterations 😄
We published this overview of 1-shot prompts to help you add bitcoin lightning payments to your project. Follow your vibe, build, and share it with us. We would love to collect your prompts, apps and learn if you find it useful. https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-vibe-coding

OUR TOP 10 FACTS ABOUT BEES:
Unlike humans, but like #bitcoin nodes - bees do not sleep. They take short breaks to conserve energy and stay ready for their next task, making sure their hive remains operational.
🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌🛌
Like #bitcoin maxis, bees have an incredible sense of direction.
☀️These little navigators use the sun to orientate in the world, maybe they already know it's the Earth that rotates? 🤔
🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭
Since originating around 120 million years ago (#genesisbee, shortly before the breakup of Africa and South America), they were adapting and surviving through geological, climate... and political changes.
Reminds you of something?
Let's make sure they will stay with us forever.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
They need to store the maximum amount of honey and pollen while using the least amount of wax.
How? With the most efficient shape! ⬢ ⬢ ⬢ HEXAGONS ARE BESTAGONS ⬢ ⬢ ⬢
Bees perform a b2b "waggle dance" to communicate the routing information, ie. location of food sources to their hive mates.
The bee-to-bee dance conveys information about the direction and distance to flowers containing nectar and pollen.
💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Their extraordinary sense of smell is provided by 170 odorant receptors that allow 🐝to detect pheromones, locate flowers, and recognize hive mates.
This olfactory ability is crucial for their survival and social organization
Remarkable longevity and resistance to spoilage is provided by high sugar, low water, low pH and anti-bacterial properties of 🍯
Even 3,000 year old honey, found in King Tutankhamen’s tomb when opened in 1922, was still edible!
#backwardcompatibility 🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯
— they’ll only attack when the believe their hive is threatened. Be like bees: practice #nonaggression principle 🤗
And don't mistake #bitcoin for #crypto. Don't spread wasp's FUD.
If a queen bee is not performing well, such as not laying enough eggs, the worker bees can replace her by selecting a larva and feeding it royal jelly to develop into a new queen.
There are no ultimate leaders. #WeAreAllSatoshi
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Bees continuously improve and adapt their hives, like a swarm of #developers, enhancing its protocols and making it more secure and efficient over time.
Even when founding generations are long gone, the hive persists 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
11, bonus fact: BEES ARE AWESOME.
