    Easy peasy! We even provide a ready-to-use prompt that you can simply copy and paste into your agent.

    The Bark SDK is really friendly for vibecoders, and barkd might be even friendlier.

    AI vibecoding is such a huge enabler for people who are doers. You can easily enable bitcoin payments and vibecode it in using various SDKs available nowadays. Breez-SDK, bark SDK, phoenixd and probably others.

    I have to say that Bark (@secondhq) running on my AlbyHub (@getAlby) really is something else. Same performance as a completely self hosted LN node but without the liquidity hassles, and since you are always online refreshing your VTXOs the whole thing is trustlesss.

    Lark is not a third Ark, or some other product outside of Bark. Rather Lark is “lightning Ark”, or virtual lightning channels inside the Ark. More details to follow

    Thanks for the shoutout. Lightning is essential to what we’re doing with Bark, definitely complementing not competing. And the team’s very much looking forward to what @spiralbtc is cooking up with Lark.

    What's Bark Protocol 🐶
    Bark protocol promises to solve Bitcoin's scaling and UX problems. Lightning is powerful but managing channels and inbound liquidity stops most apps from ever shipping. Ark is a new Layer 2 protocol...

    Would it look like this if LN or ARK were mounted on a Coconut? Thank @matthewvuk2 for his efforts. We are waiting for the PR.
