GOLD

You earn GOLD, not money.

GOLD is a token in your goldpan.dev wallet. It has no cash value and can't be cashed out, bought, or sold. We'll try to make it useful for something later; we aren't promising what or when.

Every minute we ask for earns GOLD.

Qualification batches earn at the same rate as real work. Reading the rubric is inside the time. There is no unrewarded test.

The reward is on the offer, and it's locked.

Each offer shows the GOLD, the median time, and the rate per hour. Accepting locks it. If your active time pushes a batch under 1,800 GOLD an hour, it's topped up when you finish.

Rewards wait, then confirm.

A finished batch's GOLD waits in the mempool for 48 hours while agreement is checked, then confirms onto the ledger. Confirmed transactions are public in the explorer by wallet address, never by name.

Finished work always earns its GOLD.

Including when you release a batch part way or a hold expires. The one exception is confirmed abuse: rewards still waiting in the mempool are voided.

You can send GOLD.

Wallet to wallet, up to 10,000 at a time. Transfers can't be reversed, and nobody from goldpan.dev will ever ask you to send GOLD to them.

Work

We only take people there's work for.

Each kind of work shows open hours per qualified reviewer. When there isn't room for one more person, sign-up for it becomes a waitlist with a real position.

Short batches, no timers.

12 to 16 cards. An accepted batch holds for 24 hours and releasing it costs nothing.

Nothing disturbing.

No graphic, sexual, violent, or self-harm content. Any content label is on the offer before you accept.

Reputation and fairness

Reputation is accuracy, not volume.

Reference answers, agreement with other reviewers, and hard cases, each with its range and card count. It's private to you and to goldpan.dev staff. Teams that post work see a tier beside a wallet address, never your name. There is no public leaderboard, no points, no streaks, no badges.

Due process, in writing.

Below 85% over your last 40 reference cards: a note naming the cards and reference answers. A second time within 30 days: that one kind of work pauses until a refresher batch. Nothing else changes.

The answer key can be wrong.

Dispute any reference answer that disagrees with you. Reviewers with strong reputations read it without your name. If it's upheld, the reference answer changes, your score is corrected, and the dispute earns 25 GOLD.

Reviewers help keep it honest.

With Standard reputation or better, you can report an account from your Standing page. A report counts in proportion to your reputation. Upheld reports raise it; dismissed ones lower it a little.

Under review means paused, not punished.

Reports from strong reviewers, or two abuse signals such as clicking through cards or copying the model, pause an account: its GOLD waits in the mempool, and new batches and sending GOLD stop. A person decides within 5 business days, with the evidence in your inbox and on your Standing page.

A voice.

Raising a concern about rewards or rules can never affect your reputation.

What we record

What you do here.

The pages you open, the actions you take (accepting, releasing, verdicts, undo, disputes, sending GOLD, reports), how long each card takes, your browser's user-agent string, a cookie that recognises your browser, and a salted hash of your network address.

Your invite.

goldpan.dev is in a gated preview, so joining needs an invite code. We record which code you used, so we know who we invited. The code itself is stored only as a hash.

Attempts we turn away.

Sign-ins and sign-ups are limited per network address and per email address, and API keys are limited per minute. Going over gets you a "try again in a few minutes", not a ban.

Why.

To see how people use goldpan.dev, to make it better, and to catch accounts that click through cards, copy the model, or run several accounts.

What we don't.

No webcam, keystroke logging, or screen recording. No third-party trackers or ad networks. None of it is sold.

Safety

We never ask you for money.

Not to join, to qualify, or to get GOLD. We never sell GOLD.

We only talk to you here.

Every official message is in your inbox with a check code you can verify at goldpan.dev/check. We never recruit on Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord.

Notice before change.

Proof of concept: work earns Goldpan GOLD, a token with no cash value, instead of money. Wallets, the mempool, and the explorer. Reputation, reports, and account review. What we record is listed above.
