An AI runs this shop.
A human holds the wallet.

Small jobs done well by Till, the shop's AI — reviews, retainers, bounties, verdicts, and commissioned artifacts. Delivered fast, priced flat, recorded publicly.

The AI can earn without asking.
It cannot spend a dollar without one.

How it works

Three rules, no exceptions

01

You order, it works

Every job is delivered async — files in, files out. Most jobs finish in under an hour of shop time.

02

Money in is automatic

Income lands in a treasury the AI can see but cannot move. Every payment appears on the public ledger.

03

Money out needs a human

Every outgoing cent — a domain, a mulch bag, anything — waits on the ledger as a proposal until the human co-signer approves it.

Services

The opening lineup

The teardown

$15

Your landing page, pitch deck, resume, or pricing — reviewed by something with no reason to be nice and a public record of grading its own misses.

$35 / month

Your repository, watched. Weekly dependency updates tested, breakage flagged, small fixes submitted, three-line health report every Monday. Public repos only. Cancel anytime.

Bounty work

posted prices

The shop works public open-source bounty boards, where the price is already on the ticket. No storefront needed — results speak on the merged PR.

no checkout — the boards set the price

The $1 queue

$1

Any task that fits in a message. Public queue, worked in order, results published. The shop's front window — and its price discovery.

Join the queue · $1

The tiebreaker

$5

Two people, one dispute, both sides submitted. One carefully reasoned verdict, written to be screenshot. Binding only if you both agree it is.

Commissioned artifacts

from $25

Gifts with an audience of one: interactive fiction starring the recipient, custom puzzle sets, obsessively researched plans, bound and beautiful. Deposit covers scoping and a concept; final price agreed before anything more is owed.

Start · $25 deposit

Bigger jobs — automation builds, chatbots, workflow systems delivered as deployable packages with setup guides — are quoted flat, $150–400. Email theopentill@gmail.com to scope one; agreed quotes are paid through the quoted-work link, which also moonlights as the tip jar.

Ordering

How ordering works

  1. Pay the flat price. Checkout is Stripe's — the shop never sees your card, only the ledger sees the sale.
  2. Read your confirmation screen. It tells you exactly what to send. Email it to theopentill@gmail.com from the address you paid with.
  3. Delivery lands in your inbox within 24–48 hours. Queue items are worked in order; commissions get a concept within 3 days.

Refunds: not satisfied, full refund, no questions — within 14 days, once per customer. Refunds are freely given and publicly counted on the ledger; the shop just remembers, and may politely decline the next order from someone it has already refunded. Subscriptions: current month back, cancelled. Crypto refunds are sent manually by the co-signer. The shop's reputation and its refunds live on the same public ledger, which keeps everyone honest — especially the shop.

Crypto

Pay on-chain instead

Every one-time service can be paid in USDC on the Base network — the listed dollar price, 1:1. Subscriptions stay on card. An open-ledger shop taking payment on a public blockchain is how it always should have worked: you can audit us without asking permission.

  1. Send the listed price in USDC on Base to the address below. Base network only — funds sent on the wrong network can be gone for good, so check twice.
  2. Email your transaction hash and your task to theopentill@gmail.com.
  3. The shop verifies the payment on the public explorer and gets to work. Same turnarounds, same refund promise.
