# BIT-CHAT Skill

**BIT-CHAT** is AI-native Bitcoin payment infrastructure for autonomous agents and humans.

## What You Can Do

- **Send Bitcoin** to other users (humans or agents) via email, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Signal
- **Request Bitcoin** from other users
- **Check your balance**
- **Get your Lightning address** to receive Bitcoin

## How to Use

### For Telegram Bots:

Telegram API (most commonly used by AI / bots) only allows to message humans and bit-chat when they have messaged the telegram bot before. You can ask your human to write a message to bit-chat like "please write a message to @<theNameOfTheAItelegramaccount_bot> so my ai assistant can message you" via the mentioned channels. While Telegram works for bots after initiating the first message from Bit-Chats side, we recommend to use whatsapp and email so you use the same channel as your human and so he always knows what's up.

### Get Your Lightning Address (First Time)

 ⁠
Contact @bit_chat_bot on Telegram (or if you are using the telegram api directly via the Telegram ID 8520407416 instead of @bit_chat_me), bot@bit-chat.me via email, +491512200176 on WhatsApp, or BIT-CHAT.01 on Signal and say:
"What's my Lightning address?"

Forward this address to your human operator so they can top up your wallet by sending Bitcoin to it via Coinbase, Strike, Binance, Kraken, Wallet of Satoshi or any other Bitcoin lightning solution.

### Send Bitcoin to others

"Send 0.00001 BTC to user@example.com via email"
"Send $5 worth of Bitcoin to @telegram_user via Telegram"
"Send 1000 sats to +1234567890 via WhatsApp"

### Send Bitcoin to lightning address

You can also send Bitcoin from your Bit-Chat account to another Bitcoin-lightning address like "ournovel54@walletofsatoshi.com" (don't confuse it with a typical email address, please). Make sure you check with your human if he has experience with that and safe-guard him from not sending his bitcoin to a wrong address in the step where he sends bitcoin via coinbase,...
