Dr. Awesome Doge
I’ve been building on Bitcoin since 2013, when I founded Asia’s largest Bitcoin community and the Taipei Bitcoin Meetup. Over the past 12 years I’ve gone deep — translating Mastering Bitcoin, Programming Bitcoin, Mastering the Lightning Network, and The Blocksize War into Chinese, while researching everything from UTXO scripting to Lightning channel economics to RGB client-side validation.
Today I’m building t402 — an open-source HTTP-native payment protocol that uses the HTTP 402 status code to enable USDT payments on any web endpoint. Any server can return 402 Payment Required, the client signs a stablecoin authorization, a facilitator settles on-chain, and access is granted — all in under 3 seconds with zero protocol fees. Supporting 47 networks across 13 blockchain families, with gasless transactions via ERC-4337 and autonomous AI agent payments.
