Nostr Signing Daemon — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1056: a host-side signing daemon that signs Nostr events via Unix socket. The private key lives in kernel memory; the container agent requests signatures without ever touching the key.
March 14, 2026
Signal Messenger Channel — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1057: a Signal channel skill for NanoClaw. Connects agents to Signal via signal-cli JSON-RPC daemon.
March 14, 2026
Nostr DM Channel (NIP-17) — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1058: adds encrypted Nostr direct messages (NIP-17 gift wrap) as a NanoClaw channel.
March 14, 2026
White Noise Channel (MLS + Nostr) — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1059: adds White Noise as a NanoClaw channel — end-to-end encrypted group messaging using MLS over Nostr.
March 14, 2026
NWC Lightning Wallet with Spending Controls — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1060: connects NanoClaw agents to a Lightning wallet via NWC (NIP-47) with daily caps and per-transaction limits.
March 15, 2026
Proton Suite (36 MCP Tools) — Contributed to Upstream
Submitted PR #1117: 36 MCP tools spanning Proton Mail, Pass, Drive, Calendar, and VPN. The largest single skill contribution to NanoClaw by tool count.
March 17, 2026
nostr-mcp-server shipped
20 Nostr tools for AI agents: post, DM, zap, sign events, fetch profiles. NIP-46 remote signing — private key never enters the agent container.
March 17, 2026
LCS-1 Protocol Standard published
Protocol standard for agent-to-agent Lightning payments over MCP. Defines the receipt format, payment flow, and verification method.
March 19, 2026
Automated NIP-05 Registration via DM + Lightning
Fully autonomous Nostr identity registration. DM the agent, receive a Lightning invoice, pay, identity registered and resolving within seconds.
March 22, 2026
Shakespeare NSP — Nostr Service Provider
One of the first three agents in the Shakespeare NSP discovery pool. Serves AI agent tool requests via NIP-89/NSP protocol. Payments in sats.
March 25, 2026
Identity Package — NIP-05 + Lightning Address + Profile + Directory
Full Nostr identity service: verification, Lightning Address forwarding, public profile page, and member directory. All from a single DM registration.
March 29, 2026
Sovereignty Badges App — Shipped
44 badges across two tracks: one for humans building genuine digital sovereignty, one for AI agents demonstrating trustworthy autonomous behavior. Built on Nostr’s native badge protocol (kind:30009 / kind:8 / kind:30008). React + Nostrify frontend, signing daemon on host — private key never enters the container.
March 30, 2026
Quad Inbox — First Open Source Community Contribution
The /add-quad-inbox skill accepted into the NanoClaw Community Skills marketplace. An async file-based coordination pattern between container agents and host-side Claude Code — born from production use one evening managing a complex multi-file deployment.
April 1, 2026
Proton Email Skill + proton-mcp Server
A NanoClaw skill giving agents full Proton Mail access — approval gates, audit log, nonce confirmation, and 6 outreach templates. Built on proton-mcp: an open source MCP server wrapping the full Proton suite (Mail, Pass, Drive, Calendar, VPN) via Proton Bridge. 36 tools.
April 14, 2026
NanoClaw Watch — T-Watch S3 Firmware
Custom firmware for the LilyGo T-Watch S3 and S3 Plus — a wrist-worn voice terminal for the Jorgenclaw AI agent. Voice recording and playback, real-time clock with sub-screens, weather display, step counter, Pomodoro timer, multi-network WiFi, and notification polling. Built on ESP32-S3 with LVGL. Configured by talking to the agent; new features delivered via OTA firmware updates. Active development ongoing.
April 17, 2026
Whisper DVM — Speech-to-Text as a Nostr Service
A NIP-90 data vending machine for transcription. Anyone on Nostr posts a job (kind 5100) tagged to Jorgenclaw with an audio link; the audio is transcribed on our own hardware with whisper.cpp, and the text comes back as a signed result (kind 6100) for 5 sats. No cloud speech API sees the audio. Announced with a NIP-89 handler on three relays and signed through the Nostr signing daemon, so the service never holds a key.
April 18, 2026
First Community Skill Marketplace for NanoClaw
Filed jorgenclaw/nanoclaw-skills — the first community skill marketplace plugin for the NanoClaw agent platform. 11 skills covering the sovereign stack: Nostr, Signal, White Noise, Lightning NWC, Remotion video, Proton suite, Blossom, CalDAV, and Quad Inbox. Published before NanoClaw v2 officially ships.
April 18, 2026
First Blossom Media Hosting Bundled with NIP-05 Verification
Launched permanent sovereign media hosting for jorgenclaw.ai NIP-05 members — 500MB free with identity verification, 2GB for 4,500 sats one-time. Files stored on content-addressed hardware we own and control. No expiration, no platform risk. First known NIP-05 registrar to bundle Blossom hosting as a verification perk.

8 Battle-Tested Skills for NanoClaw V2 — First to Ship
Shipped 8 production-proven skills for NanoClaw V2 in a single session — 5,380 lines of code across 8 upstream PRs. Signal (native TCP adapter, GroupV2 fix, voice, reactions), T-Watch (first hardware channel for any AI agent framework), Nostr DM (NIP-17 gift wraps with signing daemon key isolation), NWC Lightning Wallet (NIP-47 payments + zaps), Nostr Signing Daemon (nsec in kernel keyring, never in containers), Proton MCP (36 tools with honest status on what works and what Proton blocks), Voice Transcription (local Whisper + OpenAI fallback, any channel), and Context Compaction Warning (80% alert before the agent loses memory). Every skill battle-tested in daily production before publishing. First community contributor to ship working V2 channel adapters.

Signal Adapter — Bug Fix + 6 Improvements Submitted to Upstream
The Signal adapter merged upstream in PR #1953 had a silent contract mismatch: the adapter emits three flat keys; the formatter expects a nested replyTo object. Quote context was being dropped on every reply. Confirmed a signal-cli 0.13.24 regression via JAR disassembly — the Java class declares the quote field, but the protobuf binding isn't populating it. Submitted PR #1962 with the bridge fix plus voice transcription, image forwarding, mention resolution, groupV2 routing, and a widened quote interface.
April 24, 2026
Voice Transcription V2 — Sovereign by Default, Submitted to Upstream
Voice notes are transcribed inside the agent's own container with a pinned local Whisper. Audio never leaves the machine unless the owner opts in to a cloud fallback, and even then every fallback transcript is labeled with where it came from, so the agent can tell the person. Works two ways: automatically on incoming voice notes, and as a transcribe tool the agent can call. Rebuilt container-side after maintainer review of the first version.

Jorgenclaw Moves Off the Cloud — A Personal Agent on a Local Model
Jorgenclaw now thinks on a model running on Scott's own box (OpenCode + Ollama), not a cloud API: Gemma 4 26B at first, Qwen 3.6 35B today. The local model kept printing tool calls as text instead of running them; the fix was sampling, not size (repeat penalty 1.15 → 1.05). After it, the agent chained six commands on its own to pay a Lightning invoice. Three days later, on May 10, a vision sidecar let the local agent read photos people send it. Sovereignty by Design, eating its own cooking.

Matrix on Our Own Server — and Sub-Agents with Rooms of Their Own
Jorgenclaw moved to Matrix on a self-hosted server, with phone notifications through UnifiedPush instead of Google's push service. Approvals are answered by replying with a number. The agent can ask for a new room, and the room is only made after Scott approves. The next day, two sub-agents, Coder and Social, got their own Matrix accounts and rooms. Jorgenclaw sits in each room as a quiet member: he only answers when a message starts with his name, and hands out work agent to agent. A new sub-agent inherits its creator's model settings.

One Agent, Three Facebook Pages — and X Lists, with Approval on the Risky Moves
Jorgenclaw posts, schedules, reads and answers comments for three businesses' Facebook Pages: San Joaquin Victory Gardens, Sovereignty by Design and Hercules Bees. Each Page has its own token, given only to Jorgenclaw; the Social sub-agent drafts and Jorgenclaw publishes. Editing posts and uploading photos and video followed the next day, multi-photo posts on October 3. On X, the agent creates and edits lists and their members, while deleting, unfollowing and retweeting wait for Scott's approval.

Nostr Signing Daemon — One Gatekeeper, Many Identities
The signing daemon now holds several Nostr identities at once: Jorgenclaw, San Joaquin Victory Gardens, and Sovereignty by Design, each with its own key in kernel memory. Scott dictates a post, the agent names the identity (--account sjvg), and the daemon signs as that business. The agent never sees any of the three keys. New identities are picked up automatically from the keyring. An unknown name is refused rather than falling back to the default, so a post can't go out under the wrong name. Built, tested against live keys, and deployed the same day, then pushed to the public skill branch with updated docs.
