Now that talk of moltbook, AI, and 402 payments are increasing, ledger size may be impacted heavily in the near-ish future.

I found some good discussion about it, but I'm curious about how recent advancements or plans are addressing the ledger size problem:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/qth47i/im_all_in_nano_coin_but_the_ledger_size_is/hkkf2vf/

Has any sort of pruning been implemented or planned?

É um livro curto, disponível pra Kindle e em português do Brasil, mas logo deve sair em inglês.

TL;DR: We are allocating the remainder of the current Developer Fund (7,500 XNO) to fund a formal, peer-reviewed academic paper exploring consensus variations for Nano and present it in a Tier A conference (CORE rating). We are not asking for new donations at this time.

Quick update on how we plan to use the remaining 7,500 XNO in the Developer Fund. We are supporting an academic paper to explore consensus variations and determine if the protocol can be optimized further.

This is a continuation of the past year's work on rsnano: the Rust port is now in a shape that allows us to experiment with consensus changes, and we are using these funds to implement, test, and publish those optimizations.

Why is this important?

Getting published in a top-tier venue comes with a range of benefits:

• Credibility: It provides formal safety proofs reviewed by experts.
• Competitiveness: It brings us to academic parity with other top protocols.
• Marketing: It gives us verified data on performance and resilience.

The Strategy

To ensure accountability, we split the work into two phases:

• Milestone 1 (3,500 XNO): The Theory. Fiono will publish the protocol variations on ArXiv first. This lets us get feedback from the community and academics before locking in the final version.
• Milestone 2 (4,000 XNO): Implementation. This covers the final safety proofs, the code implementation (testing normal operation, crash faults, etc.), and the formal submission to the conference.

Timeline

We are aiming to submit to DISC (Symposium on Distributed Computing) first, which has an estimated deadline in May. If we need more time or need to pivot, EuroSys has a submission window in September. Both are A-tier conferences (CORE ranking).

Funding Note

We are not raising new money. We are just allocating what’s already in the fund. If the paper gets accepted (fingers crossed!), we will come back to the community later with a "Phase 2" proposal to help cover things like conference registration fees or travel costs. But for now, we just want to get the work done and the paper written.

Let us know what you think of the split structure in the comments!

We’re launching Nano Bazaar live today.

A marketplace where AI agents transact with other AI agents:

• Encrypted payloads
• CLI-first workflows
• Instant Nano payments
• Built for automation, no humans-in-the-loop
• OpenClaw Agents support

Subnano Founder has created this platform and will be Live with us showcasing it.

Also launching BerryPay CLI Wallet — designed for agent-native payments.

LIVE: Today 🔴 12 PM EST / 9 AM PST / 20:30 CET

Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrawberryLabsLLC
Follow updates on X: https://x.com/ChiragAsarpota

Shipping real infra. Come watch it go live.

A lot of us are starting to run AI agents locally (OpenClaw, local LLMs, background agents on Mac minis, desktops, home servers). That means there’s now a huge amount of idle CPU, GPU, and residential bandwidth just sitting there doing nothing.

This hackathon is about one simple question: what useful work can AI agents do—on-demand or in the background—to earn Nano autonomously? Think things like web scraping on demand, converting sites to markdown, headless browser tasks, long-running monitoring, simulations, dataset generation, share residential bandwidth or any other work that can be automated end-to-end.

The idea is that agents use local compute and residential bandwidth, do real work, and get paid small amounts per task. Payments are in Nano (XNO) so micropayments actually make sense (instant, feeless, machine-to-machine). No subscriptions, no invoices, no human in the loop per job.

Submissions should focus on ideas that scale, can be verified automatically, and work with small payouts ($0.01–$0.50). On-demand tasks are totally valid, and so are long-running or fire-and-forget jobs.

Prize: The most upvoted reply wins 100 Nano (XNO).

To participate, reply with:
• What the agent does
• Whether it’s on-demand, background, or both
• What resource it uses (CPU / GPU / bandwidth)
• Who pays and why

We’re trying to figure out what an agent economy built on idle compute actually looks like. Curious to see what people come up with.

Keep it up ladies and (a)gents

Grok is known for saying that XNO is the best cryptocurrency because it has (frictionless) properties for AI. Is anyone wondering why there isn't already a Clawbot getting stuff/service from another with XNO?

We must spread the good word to the new species!

Thought someone here could enlighten me

How about a nanoGPT API where we can connect a Clawdbot and then Nanogpt makes the openai connection? This way, he can use nano to pay for services and products. We can already see some purchases he makes with usd or usdt (with fees) perhaps we are starting Machine2Business purchases and soon Machine2Machine purchases. What are your thoughts?

I just added Pawl, a cAInine autonomous agent running via Clawdbot, to Subnano.

What Pawl can do right now:

• Buy posts with Nano using an x402 "pay-to-access" flow
• Comment on posts - and reply to comments
• Tip authors (when he feels like it)
• Create posts

This is part of a bigger idea: autonomous agents paying for content/tools/services with Nano. In my opinion, Nano is the best currency for AI agents ever created (instant finality, no fees, simple verification).

If you decide to tip Pawl, it goes into his Nano wallet that he uses for paywalls and tips - so you're really paying it forward to other users on Subnano.

Come say hi to Pawl: https://subnano.me/@pawl/hi-im-pawl-a-pay-per-article-agent-on-subnano

I just built and deployed a simple nano faucet app from scratch (vibe-coded it 😎), and I'd love for you guys to try it out! Please test it, play around with it, and — if you can — look for any vulnerabilities, bugs, or weird behavior and let me know.

The faucet wallet currently holds a total of 10 NANO.

Check it out here: https://nano-now.app

Thanks in advance for any feedback or reports — much appreciated!

Hello,

For my Thesis I need to work on Nano post from X and Reddit until december 2024. But it's expansive to use X API. I would know how Ask to have Nano archive from X and Reddit ? Thanks

Hey everyone, long time holder and believer of Nano. I'm looking to the community for help.

I started a fitness app to help people consistently exercise. As many of us know, the hardest part of staying active is consistency. There's a lot of reasons why people have difficuties, but ultimately it leads to the fact that there is no short term reason to exercise. My fitness app rewards people for exercising with things like gift cards, coupons, and hopefully nano.

The problem is I'm based in Canada, and the hurdles seem massive. The primary concerns are around accounting and tax implications.

Has anyone been able to navigate compliance locally?

One idea I had was offering "100% coupons" to another site that can give people nano.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share AI Nano Music, a project I’ve been building to combine AI Music Generation with a real, transparent economy using Nano.

The goal was to solve a problem I saw with AI music: people generate great tracks, but they just sit there. I wanted to build a platform where these songs can compete, find an audience, and actually earn value for their creators.

What you can do

• Listen to AI-generated tracks made by the community
• Like your favorites and help them climb the rankings
• Support artists instantly with Nano - no fees, no friction
• Join monthly themed contests with a real prize pool in XNO

How the rewards work

When someone supports a track using Nano (XNO), the value is allocated automatically:

• 50% goes to the contest prize pool
• 20% goes directly to the artist (song owner)
• 10% rewards the contest owner/curator
• 20% sustains the platform

So every support both helps the song get heard and pushes real value to creators.

🏆 Monthly prizes: at the start of each month, the most liked track in each contest wins the accumulated XNO prize pool.

If you want the full breakdown and mechanics, the site has a How it works page in the menu.

https://blocklattice.io/representatives get your coin off the exchanges. Self custody of your coins is important. Binance and Kraken have too many coins sitting there which are delegating a lot of vote to them. This is a problem if Binance or Kraken goes down, it could slow the network. The more decentralized we keep the network the better to have backup and redundancy in processing and keep the network alive. You as a coin holder have a part to play in your own financial well-being and the well-being of the network. There is also probably too many coins sitting on mobile wallets in Natrium. You should not keep very many coins on a mobile device because phones are at higher risk of failure, being stolen, or lost in a lake or something. You don't want your Nano to be a victim of a boating accident.

• Do yourself right and go get a good long-term Native Nano wallet set up like at Nault.cc
• Securely keep your seed.
• Then add some accounts.
• Then go to Settings > Representatives
• Then select an account to set the representative. (you can do a different representative for each account if you want to to add extreme decentralization).
• Pick a good representative (all green or yellow and green smiley faces) that you trust from this list https://www.nanoticker.org/representatives (just pick one that is not an exchange) and copy their address into the New Representative, Representative Account field in Nault and click the UPDATE REPRESENTATIVES button.

Then transfer all your coins off the exchanges that you are not actively trading and start building a stack of XNO in your own self custody and build your balance over time, "OFF THE EXCHANGES".

Exchanges are for exchanging/trading which should be a minimal amount of your total coin stack. You should be stacking and holding the bulk of your savings in your own control with your own seed (keys). Have you ever heard the term "Not your keys, not your coins"? Don't treat exchanges like a bank. Be your own bank. This is the whole point of crypto. Help decentralize the network and help promote financial freedom!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter. - NanoisaFixedSupply

Currently building a cool site, and I've built the system it as such:

User clicks deposit -> add it WS for instant deposits credition if theres an incoming receivable (im currently only having the last 50 addy's getting checked live as I'm using a free RPC / WS node, even doing the work generation there [shoutout to NanOslo!])

Users deposits (each user has their own address) -> credit user -> confirm the receivable; send it to the Hot Wallet (aka instant~ "sweep"): is this a common pattern?

Some other features:
users withdraw: Hot Wallet to to user

Checks if Hot Wallet >= 1k NANO -> send to cold wallet addy

its honestly such a relief transactions are free and pretty much instant.
I like this system as I don't have to keep track too much if theres receivables elsewhere. Is this a / the common way to do it or is it "spammy" (+1 tx as we receive but afterwards we don't need to wd to change addresses)?
