What this is, honestly
A reader who pays can copy the words — just as a friend might photograph a newspaper page. We're not selling a lock; we're selling convenience at an honest price. We say so here because honesty is the product.
Questions
- Where does a reader's money sit?
- Depends which pilot group you're in. Balance readers: in a refundable balance. Tab readers: nowhere — you pay only after reading, when your tab reaches £5. (During the pilot: test money only.)
- Why do some readers see a balance and others a tab?
- We're honestly testing two ways to pay — a £5 balance you top up, and a tab that settles at £5. Same one-tap reading either way. The pilot's job is to find out which one people actually prefer; that's the version we'll build for real.
- What does the writer keep?
- 98p in every pound, credited the moment someone reads. The 2% covers the payment rails. No monthly fee, no hidden cut.
- Is this some new kind of internet money?
- No. Pounds and pence, on ordinary card rails. Nothing to install, no special account — just a tab or a balance here.
- Can readers just copy the article?
- Yes — like photographing a newspaper page. At 10p, convenience beats copying. We say this openly because we think it's true.
- What do you know about me?
- An email address. Tab-group readers also have a payment reference held at Stripe — we never see card numbers, just a reference used to settle the tab. Reading history is private, never sold, and deletable in one tap.
