All of it: the words, the place, the proof
A trotline stretches bank to bank across a tidal creek feeding Copano Bay near this public access -- its tag is gone or long expired and the line shows no sign of a recent check, but the baited hooks strung along it are still catching and holding fish and turtles, because nobody is running the line on the required daily check.
Fund it for $140. 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
- 1. From the bank at each end, never entering the water, confirm the trotline carries no current tag or an expired tag, and shows no sign of a recent run.
- 2. Confirm coordination with a TPWD game warden or the regional inland fisheries office before removing a line that is not unmistakably abandoned.
- 3. Working hand-over-hand from the bank, pull the mainline in, freeing and releasing any live catch as each hook comes clear; cut a hook free of a swallowed bait rather than force it.
- 4. Continue hand-over-hand along the bank toward the line's far anchor point where reachable; if the far end anchors across open water beyond reach from either bank, cut the line at the nearest reachable point, coil what you can retrieve, and flag the remainder for agency-coordinated removal -- do not wade or swim out to it.
- 5. Coil the retrieved line and hooks, stage for haul-out and disposal, and photograph the cleared bank.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the line strung across the water from each bank access point
- Confirmation of TPWD game warden or inland fisheries coordination
- Confirmation all retrieval happened hand-over-hand from the bank, with no wading or swimming
- Photo of any live catch released as it was freed
- After photo of the cleared bank with retrieved line/hooks staged, plus GPS; note if any remainder was cut and flagged rather than retrieved
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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_1789885028331_gt8ghdh","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
