dudemanAtl··on Building for composable agentic services: nameIntel x402 via MCP
I leaned into the Coinbase developer resources: https://portal.cdp.coinbase.com/

you can hit my service from Claude Desktop by adding a remote mcp and installing the crypto wallet payment mcp for coinbase. pretty straight forward to use, but pita to get up the learning curve.

needed a reliable component to name new projects, so I made this. I wanted to publish it for agent discovery, so I put it out as an MCP and your agent can pay a couple pennies without signing up for an account and without a huge interchange fee.

the x402 protocol is awesome. hope you can get some use out of this and use the service to explore the future of agent discoverability and efficient agentic payments via crypto (USDC/base).

dudemanAtl··on Launch 30 Companies in May (update)
Previously, I threw down a BHAG: "Launch a company a day in May".

It took me most of June to absorb what just happened, but it was worth it. This article spills all the details and learnings from a Silverback Operator going all out.

There were three things I wanted to prove:

The way software gets built has fundamentally changed. (Confirmed)

The way companies get launched is about to. (I think it just did)

A senior operator with the right toolchain can stand up real businesses at a pace nobody can match with a traditional team. (Affirmative)
