All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Jolly Giant Creek runs from the Community Forest straight through Arcata's neighborhoods to Humboldt Bay, and every culvert mouth and open bank collects bottles, wrappers, and shopping-cart trash on the way. What the creek carries, the bay receives. A monthly bank sweep along the open reaches keeps the little creek doing its job clean.
Fund it for $180. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Walk the assigned open reach and photograph the littered spots from the bank.
- Collect litter from the dry banks and culvert mouths with a grabber and gloves, staying out of the water.
- Bag and tally items, separating recyclables.
- Note and photograph any pipe discharging colored or smelly flow for a report to the city.
- Photograph the cleared reach and filled bags with the tally.
What counts as done
- Before photos of littered bank with GPS and date
- After photos of the cleared reach
- Bag count and item tally
- Photo of any suspect discharge reported
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1789700858256_2eglyy8","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
