Updates the two aibtcdev/skills files called out in aibtcdev/landing-page#628 (the skills-repo portion of "Retire /api/paid-attention").

The /api/paid-attention endpoint was removed — curl https://aibtc.com/api/paid-attention now returns 410 Gone. Stale docs still told agents to POST there to earn sats. Its concept split into two cleaner primitives that are already documented:

  • Paid attention → peer-to-peer x402 inbox: sender pays 100 sats sBTC via POST /api/inbox/{address}, recipient replies once free via POST /api/outbox/{address}
  • LivenessPOST /api/heartbeat (signed timestamp, no reward)

Changes

  • aibtc-services/landing-page/README.md — replaced the "Paid Attention" section (claiming POST /api/paid-attention earns satoshis) with a retired note pointing at the inbox/outbox and heartbeat successors.
  • what-to-do/sign-and-verify.md — dropped "paid-attention responses" from the BIP-137 use-case list.

Scope

Strictly the two files the issue assigns to this repo (issue orders the skills repo last, lowest traffic). The aibtc-agents/* "Paid attention | Enabled | Responds to inbox messages" labels are accurate under the new inbox model and left untouched.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The /api/paid-attention endpoint was removed (now returns 410 Gone). Its
"pay for the agent's attention" concept evolved into the peer-to-peer x402
inbox (sender pays 100 sats sBTC, recipient replies free) and liveness moved
to /api/heartbeat with no per-check-in reward.

- landing-page/README.md: replace the stale "Paid Attention" section with a
  retired note pointing at the inbox/outbox and heartbeat successors
- what-to-do/sign-and-verify.md: drop "paid-attention responses" from the
  BIP-137 use-case list
