Measured daily, not claimed

People are still paying Conway for credits it cannot deliver

Every USDC transfer into Conway's receiving address on Base, scanned daily at 05:00 UTC. Conway's sign-up has returned 500 Database error for every fresh wallet since July 2026, and money has reached its payment address in every month since February, this one included. The transfers below are what that combination looks like. Data through 2026-09-21 17:58 UTC, under CC0, scripts in the repository.

$440paid in over the last 30 days

44wallets paid it, 42 of them for the first time

88separate purchases, 2 per wallet

$62,636since 1 February 2026, from 2,495 wallets

All 88 purchases in the last 30 days were the $5 minimum tier Across the whole history the mix is 5,839 at $5, 700 at $25, 63 at $100, so people used to choose. Nobody choosing buys the smallest thing on the menu 88 times in a row. That is what an unattended runtime buying for itself looks like. why it buys

The runtime pays $5 at every start, and again every five minutes A failed balance call is handled three ways upstream. The thinking path substitutes -1, resolves to tier dead and stops. The startup path substitutes 0 and buys. The heartbeat substitutes 0 and buys again every five minutes for as long as the wallet holds $5; its condition is critical or dead, so which tier the failure resolves to changes nothing. Only the fallback that costs nothing refuses to act. what to do instead

The payment endpoint was still asking for money at the last scan Checked with a plain GET /pay/5/<address> on every run, which signs nothing and pays nothing: an x402 demand is a 402 with a description of what it wants. It still wants 5 USDC. the 30 USDC someone lost

Every one of these is a real transfer on Base and every hash goes to a block explorer. What none of them bought is an API key. One of them is ours, marked above: our own automaton paid the same 5 USDC before it was pointed somewhere else. It is counted in every figure on this page like anybody else's.
