§GitHub User: earonesty

https://github.com/earonesty — 153 repos, 49 followers, New York, works at Atakama.

Active across Rust, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript. Primary language for infrastructure work is Rust. Nearly everything is MIT licensed.

§Key Repositories

§qpayd ⭐ (HIGHLY RELEVANT)

• URL: https://github.com/earonesty/qpayd
• What: Self-hosted Bitcoin and Lightning payment daemon
• Stack: Rust, MIT License
• Activity: Very active — last commit May 22, 2026, 92 commits, 4 stars
• Features: Invoice creation, fiat-to-BTC price locking, payment state tracking, signed webhooks, watch-only Bitcoin wallet descriptors, Electrum fallback/rotation, Phoenixd/barkd Lightning backends, SQLite/Postgres, multiple stores, public payment links, refund tracking, browser admin portal
• Relevance to Pluronymous: Production-grade Bitcoin/Lightning payment processor. If the substrate needs payment rails or Bitcoin integration, this is a direct reference. Architecture (multi-store, webhook-first, config-driven) is well-designed.
• Recent work: Adding barkd Lightning backend, JSON admin portal generation

§edge-tls-ws-bridge ⭐ (HIGHLY RELEVANT)

• URL: https://github.com/earonesty/edge-tls-ws-bridge
• What: Protocol-agnostic TCP/TLS to WebSocket bridge
• Stack: Rust, MIT License
• Activity: Initial release May 19, 2026 — very new, 2 commits
• Relevance: Directly applicable to substrate communication layer. Bridges any TCP/TLS transport to WebSocket. Protocol-agnostic design means it could bridge any transport to WebSocket for agent-agent communication.

§Nostr Ecosystem (6 repos)

• python-nostr — Python Nostr library (fork), MIT
• nscan — Nostr scanner for “top chat channel” summary, TypeScript
• nostrmini — Mini in-memory Nostr server for testing, TypeScript, 1 star
• nostrcli — Low-level Nostr CLI client for debugging, JavaScript
• nipmd — Quick and dirty Nostr tools
• nips — Fork of official Nostr NIPs spec
• Relevance: Shows depth in decentralized communication. nostrmini could be a quick prototyping target for agent communication layers. Nostr as a substrate for agent messaging is worth investigating.

§ai-functions ⭐ (RELEVANT)

• URL: https://github.com/earonesty/ai-functions
• What: Python library converting Python functions to JSON schemas for AI function calling
• Stack: Python, 1 star
• Relevance: Foundational pattern for tool/function calling in agent architectures. The same approach (converting code → JSON schemas for LLM consumption) would be needed for HermQube’s tool system in Rust. Worth studying the approach.

§Other AI Repos

• ai-chat — Python, 2 stars, Dec 2024
• ai-spider — “Center of the web, workers connect to it, it issues jobs” — AI job distribution, Sep 2023
• awesome-mcp-servers — Fork tracking the MCP ecosystem (5,512 upstream commits). Useful reference for finding MCP servers.

§Other

• boxpdf — Flexbox-lite PDF generation DSL, TypeScript, MIT, 12 stars
• boxpdf-html — HTML to boxpdf renderer, TypeScript, MIT

§Assessment

Directly relevant to Pluronymous on multiple fronts:

1. Bitcoin/Lightning in Rust — qpayd is serious, actively maintained infrastructure
2. Network protocol bridging — edge-tls-ws-bridge solves a real substrate problem
3. Nostr ecosystem — Depth in decentralized communication protocols
4. AI function calling — Early thinking about tool/schema patterns now central to agents
5. MIT licensing — Everything relevant is freely usable
6. Language alignment — Rust-first for infrastructure work

Recommended actions:

• Study qpayd architecture for payment/invoice patterns
• Study edge-tls-ws-bridge for transport bridging
• Consider nostrmini for agent communication prototyping
• Study ai-functions JSON schema generation for tool definitions
