run the banner
Your idle top row, earning.
A tiny Go client pins one sanitized line above your shell prompt. You keep 50% of every impression a server confirms it displayed. No artificial cap on what a machine earns.
git clone https://github.com/Wilcus-Industries/earnd && ./earnd/client/install.sh --api-base https://www.earnd.devClones the repo, builds from source (needs Go), installs a shell shim (bash/zsh/fish), registers this device, and prints exactly what it sends. Open source and auditable.
Server counts, not you
The client never reports impression counts. It redeems single-use, server-signed tokens after a confirmed dwell. You can't inflate what you earn.
50% share, held 30 days
Each confirmed impression accrues half its clearing price to your escrow. Earnings settle after a 30-day clawback window, paid out via Stripe Connect.
Off means off
earnd off clears row 1 instantly and resets the terminal. The setting persists across shells until you turn it back on.
Never when offline
No connection, a full-screen app (vim, less, htop), or a non-interactive shell — the banner hides and bills nothing. It returns on the next prompt.

Payouts require Stripe Connect onboarding (identity verification) and a $25 minimum balance. We send only your device id, OS, surface type, and display-dwell timing — never command contents or keystrokes.
