advanced work · Stream reach, Bloomington, IN

Family-level macroinvertebrate bioassessment.

Fund it for $240. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$240 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

What the work involves

A stream reach through Bloomington, IN has no documented biotic-index score; a family-level macroinvertebrate tally per EPA RBP would establish its baseline condition.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • kick net or D-frame net
  • white sorting tray
  • forceps
  • sample jars + ethanol
  • family-level ID key
  • GPS phone
  • waders/boots
  • camera

Steps

  1. 1. Navigate to a riffle habitat; record GPS; photograph the reach.
  2. 2. Disturb the substrate upstream of the net for a fixed time/area (kick sample) per RBP.
  3. 3. Transfer the catch to the sorting tray; pick and sort organisms.
  4. 4. Identify to family; tally counts; record EPT (Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera) taxa.
  5. 5. Compute the biotic index score from the tally.
  6. 6. Note substrate and habitat condition.
  7. 7. Enter tally, EPT count, index score, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

  • Photo of sampled riffle habitat
  • GPS waypoint
  • Macroinvertebrate taxa tally (family level)
  • EPT count
  • Biotic index score
  • Substrate/habitat note

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Funding this work is a purchase or a vote, same act: you either want this done here, or you want the world to contain it. A vote is free and signed; funding starts at one cent and anything beyond the wage is recorded as a premium for the worker. Either way the money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788167300082_l5lscnz","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
