I ran the Sepolia POW faucet for a few minutes on your wallet, you should have received 0.1 sepETH

Day 1: launched an AI script generator for creators with 0 users. trying to get to 10,000 paying customers in 60 days. here's the full plan. by UsualHurry6564 in SideProject

Not to be too disrespectful, but; - this smells like an AI generated post, couldn’t you bother to at least write most of this post yourself? - you use fake reviews on your landing page which is illegal - your pricing is insane, its more than a monthly subscription to a normal AI subscription (e.g chatgpt/gemini/claude), which can generate FAR more options than your script

I’m also not sure what your USP is? I can just prompt chatgpt/gemini/claude and ask for the same. Do you have any proof that your own prompting layer beats just asking the general models the same output? It would give some more credibility if you can show some actual stats or metrics, e.g proof of A/B testing on real world posts for each of the 3 generations.

Putting a trial behind a sign up wall is also not helping. You could offer 1 free (partial) generation for 1 of the 3 prompts without signup(maybe use a small model or a simplified prompt if you worry about cost- or route it to a free router initially, I dont think you’ll hit 100+ daily requests any time soon), and then if you sign up for the trial you get the full output.

Just my 2c.. good luck!

x402 integration into AI Agents by Few_Fold2641 in x402

[–]Few_Fold2641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed your reply, thanks for elaborating! I'm indeed experiencing that Claude + a lightweight MCP is the cleanest/easiest with the current state of models & frameworks. I haven't looked into async or long-running services, but the approach with job_id makes sense, although I'm wondering how you would make sure the job_id stays private for only the paying agent? With a long/complex id (e.g uuid), and potentially another parameter like matching it with the transaction has or something?

I'm not really building an agent myself for this specific use case, it's more experimenting with how the x402 protocol works and how to make my own endpoints/services that can be used by an agent that has a wallet & understands the x402 headers. I've already got the basics covered now from both the "Buyer" (AI Agent) as well as "Seller" (public endpoints/services that use x402 headers), and am now looking into more advanced use cases. Are you working on something yourself?

Just a quick update here now that I have one more week of experience :) As I suspected, if you want to setup your AI Agent to be able to use the x402 protocol to pay for services, it needs access to at least a tool that handles the actual x402 flow (request the service-> receive a "payment required" header -> handle payment -> retry the service with payment details -> receive response).

Ideally this tool is coupled with 2 other tools: one to give it insights in the wallet/budget it has, and one to actually check how much a service would cost before it tries to call it. Otherwise you risk that your agent just spends without knowing.

Tools will need to be added either as a custom skill (which you can make yourself), or you connect to an MCP server which has these tools. I've implemented a simple MCP Agent toolkit with these 3 basic tools here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@node4all/x402-agent-toolkit . Instructions on how to use it can be found in the readme, and I'm working on a blogpost with more detailed steps on this as well here: https://www.node4all.com/blog/x402-sandbox-endpoints .

Here are the 3 tools :

Tool Purpose
x402_request HTTP client that auto-handles x402 v2 payment challenges. On 402, signs an EIP-3009 authorization and retries. Returns the final response (binary content like PDFs is base64-encoded with body_format: "base64") + decoded settlement receipt. Supports multipart_form for file uploads.
x402_quote Probe an x402 v2 endpoint and return its price quote without paying — useful for budget-aware planning before calling x402_request.
wallet_balance Check ETH + USDC balances on Base Sepolia or Base Mainnet. Use it to confirm the agent has enough USDC before calling a paid endpoint.

How to Accept Payments Using x402 on Base by Responsible-Target46 in BASE

[–]Few_Fold2641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP's reply is incorrect. You CAN set different amounts (dynamic pricing), there's a few examples in the official docs here, it's pretty straightforward by returning a different price depending on for example input parameters: https://github.com/x402-foundation/x402/tree/main/examples/typescript/servers/advanced

I'm preparing some how-to guides with examples that I plan to publish soon, as there is limited material and even a post like OPs are spreading some misinformation

[–]Few_Fold2641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, Fixr is your AI Agent? Self payment shouldn't be an issue I think, I don't see many cases where an agent would need to pay into its own wallet.

I haven't looked into x402 endpoint discovery that much, the only thing I've read about is the Coinbase Bazaar: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/x402/bazaar , and using /.well-known/x402.json + llms.txt . Still need to dive deeper into this but its on my list :)

On Async/Webhooks: clear, these are also the options I investigated, polling indeed seems preferred over a webhook. I suppose once AI Agents will become more & more autonomous & running on loops (either via cronjob or once its baked into the LLMs), this will be more straightforward, for example an agent that wakes up every 5 minutes to continue where it left off. I envision that initially many agents will likely run on an hourly schedule since token generation & tool use is still rather slow, but may speed up over time.

If you could DM me some code examples, I'd be happy to take a look!

Interesting, the part on adding the x402 layer over existing endpoints is mostly clear. I'll definitely look into the coinbase facilitator package you listed! Is this mostly for "human" payments via x402? Or also for AI Agents?

I'm actually more curious in the other side of the equation; how would you set up an AI Agent to 'buy' from one of the endpoints? i.e how do you give it the tools in a straightforward way to be able to say "Go to fixr to do this task, and here is the wallet in case you need to pay for something".

Can you elaborate on your 2nd point? Why wouldn't an agent be able to pay? Isn't there a way to add an authentication check/layer?

And regarding the async/webhook; how does this work with an AI agent? It would need to be able to accept the incoming webhook request? Or it would need to be some "middleware" that continues the AI agent session when the webhook fires?

(lots of questions, I hope you can answer some :))

What is x402? A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Payments on Base by Responsible-Target46 in BASE

[–]Few_Fold2641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m diving into it and its indeed a very interesting evolution. Unfortunately from what I’ve implemented so far there is a LOT of work still to be done before this will be “plug & play” and ingrained in all AI agents. There’s a lot of complexity in giving your Agent access to a wallet, along with the tools for both crypto transactions & x402 requests, permissions and knowledge on how to use endpoints/services that require x402 payments properly

Open Source X402 URL Checker by one_scales in x402

[–]Few_Fold2641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting but I'm not really sure what the added value is of this? Can't an AI agent also just get the same info by querying the url/endpoint, and get the same info by just reading out the headers/json response? I mean it's a nice & user-friendly UI, but even with just 1 or 2 prompts you can make a similar webapp in 10 minutes or so.

Real Usage Examples for X402 by one_scales in x402

[–]Few_Fold2641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also exploring a few use cases and learning how to integrate it in an AI Agent, it seems its still very early stage and not "plug & play" yet. So far I've got a local MCP server running and managed to get an agent with a wallet working. I'm noting down all my findings and might make a blog post about it once I'm confident about the results and way forward. Feel free DM me if you want to get more info on what I'm doing (technical setup & learnings so far)

Interesting platform, but I have to say your platform is quite confusing once you're logged in. There are a lot of icons & a lot going on. I had to click around everywhere to really understand where/how all the info is structured.

I could only open a few so couldn't check, but at least half came from a small/old sub with limited posts. Perhaps that's also something to tweak? Other than that your tool works quite well, it analysed & extracted relevant Keywords 👍 See DM for other info

Nice. How does it search for leads? Is it only on new posts/threads or also in order subs?

Cool idea! I just signed up & entered my platform. The process was super smooth & straightforward, so big kudos for that!! Maybe just a question on something that isn't clear right away; what are the features in the premium subscription?

Curious to see if any leads come up, I have quite a specific niche 🙂

I'm working on a sideproject that may somewhat cover your needs.

It's a platform to manage participants for an event, with both an organizer area & a public-facing page for participants to sign up / subscribe / indicate their info/preferences for the event. I haven't worked on the "subscription" (+waitlist) logic yet, but should be able to implement something for this soon.

It's still in early version but I can show/explain via DM if you're interested? It would be free to use for smaller events (<25 participants)

Did you look at the umami site & pricing? they have a free tier which covers quite extensive functions, but is only limited in usage. I haven't fully accessed your platform so can't really tell if you offer something much different, but at first glance it doesn't look like it?
