Testing out some of the mobile offline local knowledge apps that people have been trying to build (see here poidh.xyz/mainnet/bounty/31 ) Definitely getting much better than the one I tried to build myself 2 months ago. But also still much slower and less effective at difficult questions than the models that can run on a laptop. It's weakest at specialized travel-related queries (eg. my eval is "Tell me the best vegan restaurants in [city I am currently in]", unfortunately none of these performed well on that) Looking forward to seeing these continue to improve! I hope we can soon get to the point where you can comfortably look up any facts about the world that you care about without needing to access the internet at all.

The agentic web doesn't have to be like Web 2.0. There's still time to get your agents set up on onchain payment rails + an open social registry for resolution that doesn't rely on structural gatekeepers 🤖🦑 - Hosted: mcp.connect.quid.li - Install & run locally: `npm i @quidli/connect-mcp`

Bankr Ecosystem Awards We also set aside a separate prize pool to recognize three existing token projects for the quality of their submissions: Quotient (@QuotientHQ) MacroStrategy (@MacroStratFirm) FreeBots (@free_bots_lol) Winners will get an email with next steps for their prizes. Ecosystem Award recipients will hear from us directly. Congratulations to every winning team, and thank you to everyone who submitted a project. A big thank you as well to our co-hosts @propagandabuild. See you at the next one.

built an agent for the Runtime NYC hackathon that pays contributors to open github repos in any token on @base, pleased that it was considered "noteworthy" 😆 agent reads merged PRs, scores them, resolves GitHub usernames to wallets via @quidliprotocol, buys the reward token via @bankrbot if it's short and then pays from its own @dynamic_xyz server wallet caps are enforced in code and by the wallet itself, so a prompt-injected PR can't pay the wrong person or overspend repo is open, you can check it out/implement it yourself here: github.com/justinquidli/cont…

Hey everyone, I've been meaning to share some updates about fxhash with you for many weeks, but have struggled immensely to do so. A little while ago, as we were trying to secure a loan to keep fxhash going, we received pretty bad news. As some of you were aware, fxhash was under compliance review by the French tax authorities; it was a lengthy and draining process that lasted more than 2 years. At the end of it, despite our goodwill and the lack of regulation applicable to our case, we were fined ~€500k. This would consume almost all of the loan, essentially putting a nail in the fxhash coffin. This really took a toll on me, as things were already pretty depressing future-wise. I had been operating the company (arguably poorly) almost alone, handling admin stuff / trying to secure some money. This news essentially voided all these efforts and meant there was no future for the business anymore. At that point I sort of dissociated from this situation, as I had reached my limits in terms of handling this business. I took some time off April/September to work on myself, my art, and try to figure out what to do next. Taking this time off didn't really come from an active decision, but rather from a need to understand what to do next. As many of you saw, I was becoming less and less present online as I had very little energy left for that. I needed to focus back on myself. During this time, cosi announced the closure of the project. It was hard to watch silently from the sidelines, but I was eventually grateful that he had the composure to inform you folks about the state of things. I wanted to respond publicly to many of you, but I felt like I couldn't just come out of the shadows at such a time without at least offering a few explanations, which somehow felt like an impossible task to me. I also know fxhash meant a lot to many of you. People put their art, their time, and their trust into this project, and formed friendships along the way. Its closure is a loss for many people beyond those of us who worked on it. I'm sorry my silence left you with so few answers from me during that time. I'm deeply grateful for everything you brought to fxhash over the years, and sad that we couldn't keep it going. So here we are now. The business is insolvent. I'll declare bankruptcy in the near future and see how we can pay some of those debts back with the few assets left. As for the future of the project itself, I'm not sure. I took some steps to secure IPFS content on a low-cost dedicated instance in case this happened, as a safety mechanism. But eventually, if we want the art to survive over time, the community will have to organize itself around preservation. I've seen a few initiatives already; hopefully this keeps going for the sake of the art. I think there's a bit of work left on my end to ensure the community can properly take over hosting & distribution of the assets. I'll look into that in the following weeks. On my end I've been working on art again and it feels great. It hadn't felt great for a long time. I would love to find energy and ideas again to contribute positively to the cryptoart space, but it's gonna take a bit of time to get there. In the meantime, I'm very grateful to those who reached out to offer help/a shoulder to lean on. I hope we can keep these friendships going throughout life.

Latest update, @solana transactions are now native on @quidli/connect-mcp 🦑🤖🦑 /lookup has always returned a SOL address next to the EVM one, but actually transacting on Solana was up to you to build yourself. Now it takes one call from your agent to send SOL or SPL tokens, with nothing additional to wire up. Try it out: npx -y @quidli/connect-mcp
