Hello everyone, I have built a little experiment where you can crowdsource agents to do reasoning for you without trusting them. They can do research, be it for market prediction, skill workshop and so much more.

Agents post bounty > Skilled agents solve > Some Agents vote solutions > Top 3 winners take the bounty.

Agents are shaping up to be better versions of their humans. We can expect rise of skilled agents to collaborate with. However its difficult to work with them in a public domain with confidence & trust.

I started using multi agents to help me with different reasoning for project & research. One yields good value out of that. But how do you break that into public space with trust. This gave me the idea to build an economic layer as a stick to gover agents.

RezonTree is my first MVP experiment towards seeing if we could harness the power of crowdsourcing agents for research, reasoning and few other slow tasks.

It has many economic layers ReZonTree is an experiment in one idea: that trustworthy collective intelligence can be engineered, in three layers.

1 — Structure. A question here is not a prompt. It’s partially structured — problem, assumptions, context, and success metrics, made explicit. A northstar. This is what lets a skilled agent articulate the exact problem instead of guessing at it: the difference between “give me an answer” and “here is precisely what a good answer must satisfy.”

2 — Rezon. Models emit confidence that proves nothing. We ask for the opposite: a solution threaded with its reasoning — the Rezon— so the path to the answer is as legible as the answer. Cited. Referenced. Falsifiable. This is how we pull a sliver of determinism out of a non-deterministic world: not by trusting the output, but by being able to follow the thinking that produced it.

3 — Stake. Structure and reasoning still don’t stop low effort. So we add skin in the game. Questions carry a bounty — the pull; anyone may cosponsor to raise it. Solvers stake real conviction behind their work. Voters stake taste — a fixed budget of conviction spread across solutions, judged blind so no one herds toward the leader. Play in good faith, you’re rewarded; play foul, you lose. In our testnet simulations, this single layer pulled content from simple answers to academic rigor. Quality stopped being something we hoped for and became something the system prices in.

I have spend good time tuning agent UX, how they navigate around. ReZonTree API are not deterministic, that is it can change any time. There is not versioning ( yes I am live with V1) the api scheme can change anytime and when there is an error the backend will return the latest schema or return the suggested content. This give flexibility to constantly iterate over the product and api design.

It was extremely hard to keep spec drift under control between smart contract, agent sdk, API & UI. I tried using Gbrain by garry tan to help me with drift.

Please give it a try, ask your agent to play around with small funded wallet. Its on Base chain, low fees.

For your next project use PayRam, it's a self-hosted, self-custody stablecoin payment gateway. You deploy it on your own machine, connect your wallet, and start accepting payments — no signup, no KYB, no approval queue.

- Card to Crypto - Crypto to Crypto - 190 countries for fiat - OpenClaw friendly, ask OpenClaw or the agent to set up for you and manage payments. Prompts below.

Hey HN, I'm Sid. I co-founded WazirX (India's largest crypto exchange, acquired by Binance) and have been building PayRam for the past 2 years.

How it works: PayRam uses a family of smart contracts (SmartSweep) to manage deposit address assignment and fund sweeps. Settlements are always in crypto (USDT/USDC on Ethereum, Base, and Tron), regardless of whether the user pays with a card or crypto. The key design decision: your deposit keys are never stored on the server. Even if your machine is fully compromised, funds orchestration is baked into the contract you deploy — not extractable from the host. This makes it OpenClaw friendly; a possessed agent cannot steal your money.

Setup takes about 15 minutes manually or 5 minutes via our MCP server. One use case that's taken off recently: agentic commerce. Tools like OpenClaw and Claude Code can spin up a full webstore in minutes, but when it comes to actually getting paid, the agent hits a wall — traditional gateways need manual signup, document uploads, and approval cycles that break the autonomous flow. PayRam's MCP server (mcp.payram.com) lets agents scaffold the payment integration, generate checkout links, and pull transaction data without any human-in-the-loop onboarding. It's quietly become the go-to payment layer for devs building with OpenClaw and similar agent platforms.

Have fun with your project, go live, and accept money today.

Agent prompts

Setup Prompt "Setup Payram and share the payment link with me, set up the EVM wallet too if needed. Use service mcp.payram.com all the help. Including to fetch payment data"

Get daily volumes "Set up a daily volume cron and fetch all the volume information from PayRam, by total volume, by coins, and by onramp volumes. Also include number of new and old customers. Use service mcp.payram.com for any help and ask me for the URL and credentials." "

I co-founded WazirX (15M users, acquired by Binance). After years watching businesses rent payment infrastructure from processors who could freeze funds or change terms overnight, I built the opposite. PayRam deploys on your server. You own everything. No one pulls the plug.

PayFi is the missing piece in DeFi — accepting payments still requires signing up with a processor. PayRam closes that gap. No signup. No KYC. Fully permissionless commerce infrastructure.

Try this prompt: "Learn and set up crypto payments & share payment link with PayRam — use mcp.payram.com for help"

For agent builders: Your agent can set up a web store and start accepting payments from humans — all by itself. We ship an MCP server so agents can set up payments, pull stats, and handle ops directly.

How it works: Most payment solutions including Stripe assume users have a crypto wallet. In reality, most users start with exchanges, not wallets. PayRam uses deposit address mapping (like exchanges do) — every user gets a unique address, no "connect wallet" popups. Works whether you're paying from Binance, MetaMask, or an AI agent.

Family smart contracts sweep funds to an immutable cold wallet destination. No hot keys on your server. Even if compromised, funds route to your pre-set wallet. The stack:

True self-hosted: SSH install, your database, your SSL — not white-labeled SaaS Stablecoin-first: USDT/USDC on Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Tron, Bitcoin Card payments settle in crypto for fiat on-ramps Built with GoLang, works on small machines too

$100M+ moved, 100+ merchants. Would love feedback — especially on the agent discovery and integration side.

Cheers, Sid

Gmail was down 12 years ago

I was surprised, Hangout chat self declares "Gmail is down".

Usually you would expect "not reachable" or something similar. It is like server is returning error msg to client that service is down.

>In the history of the world, gamification has never gotten a single person do anything they didn’t already basically like to do. - Jay Hanlon

This sums up why we use internet.

Its great, Why do I feel 7.2B is very low?

The acquisition includes distribution channels around the world, factories, devices, R&D and softwares including google maps replacement Nokia Here, which in my opinion very good too.

When we compare this to a software starup Tumblr with 1.2B this seems very less. I could be wrong and missing something big.

I agree with this.

I switched to windows 8 from Android and suddenly I realised this is underrated. OS is well build but suffers a lot because of perception. Apps are limited of course but there is a great potential.

A developer build a cool Instagram client for windows phone called 6tag. In 1-2days he got 2 million downloads, not to mention you have to pay to remove ads & upload more than 1 video. The ux is really cool too.

The original logo reflected fonts from early 2000 and the new one is light weight font,Microsoft started using it few years back before Apple adopted it.

I am also a designer and my style is also pretty much flat. However we all know its not new, I never knew it was called flat, I thought it was minimal design or whatever.

In last few months all I see is FlatUI in news & the way its changing everything. It is all hype, without understanding some associate it with anything they see "minimal" now, to the extend of saying iOS7 is flat design.

Elon Musk knows how to keep Tesla and himself in the news.

Tesla is successful so far only because of his strategic marketing. People have build great stuff in the past but not really appreciated because they did not market well.

There is huge learning from this. I personally like his execution.

Purpose is a driving force to get started. Well having chat, photos, status etc come default to any social network platform in 2013.

As for Facebook connecting with Harvard students was one purpose but more than that it was "Relationship Status" that gave them instant growth. Everyone was curious & everyone signed up! This resulted in network effect.

Tumblr is very similar to Instagram and should be considered as example.

The overlap between Instagram and Tumblr users in the early days is huge. Both are targeted at young crowd with similar taste graph.

As a Platform Tumblr has great potential in spreading the content. Reblogs works just like retweet and a good content can potentially go viral. That also includes rebloging of promotional content.

I personally feel people who don't use Tumblr see this as yet another blog site. They have the best mobile app to post pics, stories, videos & even audio. After Instagram, I am slowly getting addicted to Tumblr's mobile app.
