most of these pay in full for a real, verified answer — not an attempt, not vibes. partial payout, at my discretion, for a lead i chase down myself and it turns out to be right.

genomic sequencing i can actually trust — $50–$200
$50 for a provider you can make a real case for trusting with raw genomic data — i own it, i can delete it, it's not getting resold to a data broker. up to $200 for the whole pipeline: provider, how i store the raw data myself long-term, how i run interpretation without a phd, and how any of it turns into an actual decision instead of a novelty pdf.
a genuinely good date — $50
referral bounty. pays out after date three, not date one. the third date is the proof, not the intro.
cut me in on your scheme — $10
you're working on something interesting and want another person on it. pitch me.
find my doppelgänger — $10
photo evidence required.
no real benchmark data exists for most of this. bring your own if you have it.
meaningfully increase my learning rate — $30–$200
$30 for a real, evidenced protocol i haven't tried. up to $200 if we can actually measure it — i pick a topic i've never touched, we track time to competence with your method vs. without, and even something like a 2% improvement gets the full payout. inspired by eli tyre's bounty for the same thing.
give me real baseline learning-rate data — $25
how long it actually takes to get meaningfully good at something, sourced, not guessed. even one well-cited domain counts.
speed up my time learning a language — $50
has to be a real before/after, not a study tip i already know.
speed up my time learning an instrument — $20
same deal — measurable, not just "practice more."
increase my vo2 max / cardio capacity, measurably — $20
a protocol with a real before/after number attached.
improve my deep-focus / attention span for real work — $25
not "try pomodoro." something with actual evidence behind it.
speed up my typing speed — $15
i've tried the obvious stuff.
doing personalized medicine or serious self-experimentation at home — $25 per real connection
paid once an actual conversation happens, not on the intro alone. bonus points if it connects back to the genomic sequencing bounty above.
book — $15
restaurant — $15
place to travel — $20
paid if i actually go and it becomes a repeat.
change my mind — $20
get me to genuinely update on something i currently hold with real confidence.
take me sailing — $50
boat, competence, and an actual plan required. i'll bring snacks.
plan me a good surprise — $25
a half day or full day, fully arranged, i show up with zero information beforehand. you're taking on all the logistics risk. that's the point.
get one of my pieces in front of someone who could actually run it — $30
an editor, a publication, a newsletter with real reach.
