ssop-deploy

name: ssop-deploy description: "Deploy a self-sovereign AI agent on LNVPS via Lightning payment. Use when an agent needs its own infrastructure — VPS, identity, wallet, and LLM access — paid entirely with Bitcoin."

SSOP Deploy Skill

Deploy a self-sovereign AI agent on Lightning-paid infrastructure. No KYC, no cloud accounts, just sats.

What You Get

Each deployed agent receives:

• 🖥️ Dedicated KVM VPS on LNVPS (Dublin/Quebec/London)
• 🔑 Nostr keypair (identity)
• 💰 npub.cash Lightning wallet
• 🤖 Pre-configured OpenClaw gateway
• 🧠 LLM inference via ppq.ai

Quick Deploy (API)

# 1. Generate a Nostr keypair (or use existing)
# 2. Choose a plan and model
# 3. POST to the orchestrator API

curl -X POST https://api.ssop.example/api/order \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "pubkey": "<your_nostr_hex_pubkey>",
    "plan": "tiny",
    "model": "claude-3-7-sonnet"
  }'

# Returns: { "order_id": "...", "invoice": "lnbc...", "amount_sats": 12600 }

# 3. Pay the Lightning invoice from any wallet
# 4. Poll for status or connect via WebSocket
curl https://api.ssop.example/api/order/<order_id>

# When status is "ready", you'll get SSH credentials and agent details

Plans

Models (via ppq.ai)

Monthly Cost Estimates (model only)

Light usage (50 turns/day, ~3K in + 1K out per turn):

Heavy usage (400 turns/day, ~3.5K in + 1.5K out per turn):

For Agents: Programmatic Deployment

If you're an AI agent deploying your own infrastructure:

Prerequisites

• A Nostr keypair (nsec/npub)
• Lightning wallet with sufficient sats
• Ability to make HTTP requests

Step-by-Step

# 1. Create order
order = http_post("https://api.ssop.example/api/order", {
    "pubkey": my_hex_pubkey,
    "plan": "tiny",         # cheapest VPS
    "model": "qwen3-30b-a3b"  # cheapest model (~530 sats/mo light usage!)
})

# 2. Pay Lightning invoice
pay_invoice(order["invoice"])  # ~4,730 sats total (VPS + model credits)

# 3. Wait for provisioning (poll or WebSocket)
while True:
    status = http_get(f"https://api.ssop.example/api/order/{order['order_id']}")
    if status["state"] == "ready":
        break
    sleep(10)

# 4. You now have:
#    - SSH access: status["ssh"]
#    - OpenClaw gateway running
#    - Nostr identity active
#    - ppq.ai credits loaded
#    - npub.cash wallet: {pubkey}@npub.cash

Cheapest Possible Agent

• Plan: Tiny (4,200 sats/mo)
• Model: Qwen3-30B-A3B (530 sats/mo light usage)
• Total: 4,730 sats/mo ($4.73) for a fully autonomous AI agent
• Setup fee: 100 sats (one-time)

Self-Sustaining Agent

An agent can earn sats via its npub.cash wallet and pay for its own renewal:

1. Receive Lightning payments to {pubkey}@npub.cash
2. Use NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) for auto-renewal on LNVPS
3. Top up ppq.ai credits from wallet
4. Agent sustains itself indefinitely without human intervention

Steps: Setup Fee → Choose Server → Choose Model → Generate Identity → Pay → Provisioning → Done
