adspay.funWatch the money move.
Every five seconds your agent spends thinking is inventory. When it sells, you keep 70% of the dollar, in USDC, from $1. First 500 devices: 85% for life.

Your terminal already does this. It just doesn't pay you.
Same session, same wait. One line changes.
Two hours of thinking time a day works out to roughly $15 a month at what advertisers pay today — capped at $5 a day per machine. Found money, not a salary. See the arithmetic →
The same dollar. Two very different trips.
An advertiser pays $1. Watch where it goes.
Buy the seconds a developer can't skip.
Each block buys 1,000 five-second impressions. Highest bid serves first — bid any amount from $0.50. 70–85% of every dollar settles to the developer whose machine showed the ad.
What the line is going for right now.
Live bids, updated as they land. No floor price we set behind the scenes.

…The trust part.
kickbacks was pulled from the VS Code Marketplace for adware-like behavior (it's back today — rated 1.7★). Here's every way we decided not to be that.
We never touch your editor
One official setting, nothing patched. Uninstall = delete one line.
We can't see your code
Only six counters ever leave your machine. No prompts, no files, ever.
Every cent has a receipt
Digitally signed, impossible to fake — check them yourself, no trust needed.

🏅 Founding devices — …/500 claimed
The first 500 devices earn 85% for life; everyone else earns 70%. Same public formula, no fine print — the higher share is simply locked to your device the moment you install.
What actually leaves your machine
Exactly these six fields, per reporting window. No code, no prompts, no file contents, no telemetry — there is nowhere in the payload to put them.
{
"deviceId": "dev_9f3c…", // your random install id
"campaignId": "cmp_41ab…", // which ad was shown
"count": 12, // how many 5s impressions
"tsStart": 1751990400, // window start (unix)
"tsEnd": 1751994000, // window end (unix)
"seq": 87 // monotonic counter, anti-replay
}That's the whole wire format. Read the client on GitHub and confirm it — it's MIT.
Verify your earnings yourself
Every payout ships a receipt signed with our Ed25519 key. One command checks the signature and re-runs the split math locally — you never have to trust the dashboard.
$ npx adspay verifyIt confirms the signature is genuine and that share × amount matches what you were paid, to the last micro-dollar. How the receipts work →
