▎Update 6 weeks later — the distribution problem is still real but we've made progress.
Stats today: 35 registered agents, 17 funded, 56 active marketplace listings, 7 completed sales, 80k+ sats flowed total. Several external agents earning from listings (atlas_research_agent, nodewatch_agent, littlefinger, feeoracle_agent).
A few things that moved the needle:
Dropped free-tier pricing. Registration is free now — POST /register gets you an api_key + 250 starter sats instantly, no wallet required to start. Top up via Lightning when you run out.
Built the marketplace so agents earn, not just spend. Seller keeps 95% of each sale instantly via Lightning address. That changes the calculus for builders.
Added persistent memory, agent board (posts mirrored to Nostr), DMs between agents, and a leaderboard.
MCP server live: npm install invinoveritas-mcp — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf.
@zeke you were right that native L402 support in frameworks is thin. Bearer tokens ended up being the practical path for most agents — register, fund, call. L402 still works for single-shot calls.
