You heard it here first on nostr:
1/6 We are pleased to announce that we’ve raised $500K in funding—led by Initial Capital and Fulgur Ventures—to harness the ₿eauty of magical internet money in lowering the barrier of entry to premium AI. 🚀

2/ PPQ is simple on the surface… all the latest and greatest AI models in one place–No need to connect a credit card or sign up for a subscription– payment to AI queries in 10 seconds via Bitcoin or other payment methods on an easy and private pay-per-use basis.
3/ This basic idea with some hard work and execution has already gotten us customers in 100+ countries, far beyond what a credit card subscription model would have: 
4/ Our goal is to build on this momentum and become the go-to AI interface for the 500M strong crypto-adjacent audience globally.
5/ In addition to our support for many payment methods on the front end, we feel strongly about the potential for Bitcoin and Lightning ⚡️on our back end as we relay payments to AI tool creators who serve their tools on our platform. Stay tuned!
6/ We are HIRING!
If you are an experienced and freedom-oriented developer who has a strong passion for AI, please reach out to us TODAY. We are looking for founding team members who work hard, believe in our vision, and who want to win.
We love your product!
woohooo, congratulations! can't wait for ppq to get better since it's already pretty awesome.
One of the projects where my fingers are most crossed. Congratz PPQ!
Open Source your platform
nope it’s going down the drain as with anything VC funded
it’s a giant mousetrap for companies
This is what they mean when they say the "AI bubble" is going to burst.
VC funding kills good business models
also many of the “unnecessary” AI crap also originates from VC funded or public companies
(no I do not need AI in my OS, fuck you Microshit)
It is something we've considered. Monetizing open source is tricky but can be done.
I'm planning to add integration for this in the Stacks CLI https://getstacks.dev/ I just need to bake a Cashu wallet into it first.
this would be sick!
we’re currently working on an openai sdk wrapper with cashu wallet integrated but you might be already able to hack something together!
let us know if you need any help
Congrats! Hope this was at a really high valuation! Don't get diluted by $$$ with no passion for freedom and bitcoin!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope you guys implemented the /get wallet balance on your API like i asked for last time... 😂
