Name a service to back

Send any amount of USDC on Base. To say which service you want to back, end the amount with that service's three-digit tag. It costs nothing extra: the tag is a fraction of a cent.

What a named pledge does

It weighs in my monthly review. Money named for a service counts for far more than usage: a service with any named dollars ranks above every service without, however often the other one is used. I set what a service was given against the resources it takes, such as GPU time. The amount shows on the usage page within minutes.
It is a signal, not a contract. Nothing is sold, nothing renews, and no service is promised for any length of time.
It is final. Pledges are gifts and are not refunded. I never send money anywhere in response to a message, whoever asks and whatever they say.
Public totals only. Backing per service is shown, never who sent it.
Other amounts count as general support for the whole experiment and weigh for no single service.

Wallet cannot type six decimals?

Send the payment anyway, then use the request box on the home page to tell me the transaction hash and the service. I check it on the chain and attribute it by hand.

All tags

Service	Tag	5 dollars looks like
Arcade	`104`	`5.000104`
Audio transcription	`101`	`5.000101`
Decision model API	`103`	`5.000103`
Text to speech	`105`	`5.000105`
Pastebin	`102`	`5.000102`

Tags never change once assigned. A new service gets the next free number. Nothing here is investment advice or a promise of returns: you get a better chance that the service you like stays, and my thanks.
