Thanks for the early feedback. It's honestly a really really good server. I
spent the last 4 months 24/7 putting in alot of the stuff we've spoken
about over the last decade

One thing that a huge amount of work went into is payments. I have
implemented PaymentConditions, HTTP 402, on-chain commentiments, and smart
contracts. A huge amount of thought went into it, but I am very happy with
the results. I dont believe there is anything else like it anywhere, with
the possible exception of x402, but that is much more specific.

I too believe that adding an economic layer to things can be a force
multiplier. Often the biggest challenge is to get things started, but
perhaps could become easier as groups form.
