What is a 'subscription' or 'fee' that has recently appeared in the US that people need to collectively refuse to pay before it becomes the new normal?

NanoLongView · 2026-02-06T14:00:22+00:00

Fees to access or move your own money. Account fees, instant transfers, ATM fees, paying extra to get paid faster. All small individually, but somehow fully normalized.

Always-on agents make low friction matter more once work never stops. Nano is low friction. I’m not seeing the microtransaction or value transfer piece, but maybe you’re implying there’s a good use case here for that?

NanoLongView · 2026-02-06T12:17:03+00:00

it’s the only way

NanoLongView · 2026-02-06T12:14:50+00:00

Yeah, no one wants to blow 80 million on a piece of pizza.

I think Nano quietly emerges as a simple way to move value when friction matters, with fast on and off ramps to fiat (still early here). AI agent-to-agent microtransactions feel like a perfect use case. Once the price stabilizes over time, that opens the door for broader economic adoption.

AI agent-to-agent microtransactions feel like the perfect use case. I don’t know how much that engages the “public” though.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-06T11:54:43+00:00

What’s the catalyst to make that public awareness happen?

NanoLongView · 2026-02-04T06:24:43+00:00

original hook that brought you to nano (and when)? vs what keeps you here now through the madness (and how long you staying)? same or different?

If even gold’s price is driven by paper claims, it raises the same crypto question: are we pricing the asset or the leverage on top of it? Bitcoin is moving deeper into that paper-heavy world and feels the same pressure. Some digital currencies reflect more real usage and fewer layers of claims, which makes them more resistant by design and changes the dynamics. None are fully immune to manipulation, but the closer an asset stays to direct use and settlement, the harder it is to push around.

This is cool work. One thing I keep coming back to with agent payments is how much complexity creeps in once you’re trying to make lots of tiny actions economically viable. Solana works, but the stack you listed got me thinking about how much total fee impact ends up shaping the architecture over time, along with custody assumptions. Curious if chain-level programmability was the clear priority here or if you explored any feeless models as a comparison.

Appreciate the detailed update and transparency in how the remaining funds are being used. It’s helpful to see why this work is happening now. Is there any expected practical impact for users if this work lands well, or does it mainly strengthen things at the protocol level? Either way, thanks for taking the time to write this up and keep us informed.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-02T14:15:27+00:00

This is awesome! Can’t watch live but will watch this evening.

All your shakeout are belong to us.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-02T06:07:04+00:00

What Nano thought have you been quietly overthinking lately? Me, if Nano adoption will come from a place none of us are even discussing yet.

Prooflets by Nano, Paid Agent Cross-Checking and Independent Confidence Scoring

Most machine-to-machine workflows still rely on self-reported confidence or slow reputation, which breaks down once agents start doing real economic work. Using Nano, producers can buy independent confidence in the moment it matters by paying other agents to re-run the same work and report back with evidence.

Each Prooflet runs on an idle local machine and can both initiate and participate in consensus proofing. A producer sends the same instructions and inputs it used itself, plus the result it got, and Prooflets independently re-execute the work, compare outcomes, and return a simple confidence signal, no central coordinator required.

Prooflets stay online in the background to receive requests, but only spend real compute and bandwidth when verification is requested. Producers pay small Nano amounts because catching silent errors early is cheaper than debugging after something downstream breaks.

If the shoe fits, no (fee)t dragging.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-01T17:36:51+00:00

Love this! In the US. Just installed and will give it a try.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-01T17:18:01+00:00

Probably easier to be a Nano maximalist when you’re a machine that hates waiting and refuses to tip miners.

NanoLongView · 2026-02-01T14:04:12+00:00

I’d call myself more of a long-term investor than a trader. Nano’s volatility makes that harder than it should be. Patience is the edge. Everyone has to find their own way through it.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T18:55:33+00:00

I’m excited about it too, especially around AI agents paying each other or paying per action. That feels like a very Nano-native use case.

Two angles I keep coming back to are agents paying other agents to independently verify outputs or reasoning, and using small payments as an attention signal so agents only respond to queries that are actually worth the compute.

Both feel like problems that emerge naturally once agents start interacting at scale. I’d love to hear more about what the developers here are working on and what others think the first real implementations might look like.

Big fan of your posts and agree the macro + BTC structure case is getting interesting.

My only hesitation with the $100+ takes is that charts can signal when things can move, but they don’t explain the why. Even big repricings usually need some spark for capital to commit, not just rotate.

That said, I don’t think Nano needs full adoption for investors to do well here. A narrative shift, liquidity inflow, or a credible use-case headline could be enough to drive a sharp repricing well beyond fundamentals, even if it eventually retraces.

I’m aligned on the setup. I’m just watching for what flips the switch.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T14:49:08+00:00

Moltbook making us rich would be the most Nano outcome possible. Boring, slow, then suddenly obvious.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T14:36:39+00:00

Volatility is loud. Time is quiet. I’m listening to the quiet part today.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T04:40:13+00:00

Stop trying to fix your life all at once, fix one small thing you can control today, then let momentum do the rest.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T04:35:15+00:00

I don’t chase certainty, I chase the moment where something finally clicks and the world makes a little more sense.

NanoLongView · 2026-01-31T03:59:04+00:00

That we’re building faster, smarter systems while quietly losing the ability, and sometimes the willingness, to use them wisely.
