Scope

The goal of this project is to create an application that generates images using generative AI models, specifically Dalle2, and leverages the Lightning Network for micro-payments.

Tracks

• Lightning Network

Note: We also attempted to implement Sia storage, but facedissues at the API level request.

Features

• AI-generated images using Dalle2
• Micro-payments through the Lightning Network

Getting Started

To set up the Satosh-E project on your local machine, follow these instructions:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sutt/Satosh-E.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:
