Can an agent pay Routstr (routstr-core) with Cashu?
YESPay-per-request AI inference marketplace where Cashu ecash is the payment unit; node software routstr-core. Probe: api.routstr.com returned 404 on / /v1/models and /v1/chat/completions, so I have no live paid-endpoint proof; its mint.routstr.com /v1/info is live (see mint row). Provider nodes list at routstr.com/providers (not probed).
Proof
“It enables an open marketplace where anyone can buy and sell compute using Bitcoin eCash (Cashu)”
source: docs.routstr.com/
“Routstr is a decentralized protocol for permissionless, private, and censorship-resistant AI inference.”
