Set this up today and ran it for ~3 hours. First session: 407 impression events, $4.43 earned (~$0.011/impression). A few things worth knowing before installing: - Payouts aren't open yet (earnings accrue, Stripe integration is coming but no date given) - No real advertisers yet — they're bootstrapping their own ad inventory to establish the platform - Launched today so unknown long-term Technical details: it modifies spinnerVerbs in ~/.claude/settings.json (a setting Claude Code intentionally exposes) and runs a local HTTP server for impression tracking. Auth token goes in macOS keychain. If you want the full setup walkthrough I wrote one up: https://ayeverse.gumroad.com/l/mktdi

For the ad buy side; I made a live data terminal app for tracking the order book, purchased block burndown, and bid pricing calc against volume-weighted average price of the order book. Tracks which ads are actually getting served and what to bid to not overpay or get buried. 943.1 imps/min Top bid now | $111.00 Serving floor | $31.00 Open interest | $1,506 Imps in book | 38.6K https://www.insapio.com/
