We have Web Bot Auth to allow good bots to identify themselves to website operators: https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/reference/bot-verific...

Bot detection is a big problem to solve, but it’s a significant focus at Cloudflare. (It’s not my team at Cloudflare specifically, but we work closely with them)

We plan to make it easy for both buyers and sellers to rotate addresses. Done right, everything should be pseudonymous to the outside world.

(Full privacy is a harder problem to solve, but address rotation is a good 80/20 solution for now)

Yes! I’m a PM on the team that is building this. We want this to work equally well for human payments or agent payments. Low friction micropayments are the problem to solve, but once solved, it can work for either segment.

I’m a PM on the team that is building this. We want to offer a range of options, from charging everyone to charging unverified bots to simply charging users who exceed rate limits. We don’t want to add a dependency on a particular detection mechanism, but we do want to offer a variety of choices depending on how people want to filter.

Thank you for the kind words! I’m a PM on the team that is building this. I’ve believed in microtransactions for over a decade and hope that we can finally bring them to life.

Proper spend delegation and permissions is a big focus of ours - it’s great to let your agent have discretion, as long as the damage from going off course is limited. Definitely want people to feel comfortable experimenting with emerging tech

RemoteHacker is great! We came across it on Product Hunt yesterday and posted one project. We have been very impressed by everyone who has reached out so far.

It seems like there's a gap between small one-off jobs that are posted on Upwork, and projects that require multiple full-time engineers. RemoteHacker seems to sit perfectly in between those two options.

I had the privilege of seeing Salopek announce the project at the Knight Civic Media conference, and based on his presentation I can tell you that he is not taking this lightly. This isn't a project that he decided to do on a whim without evaluating the risks. This is a very well-planned, calculated project that desires to not only be fascinating, but also to make a statement on journalism itself. He won't compromise the integrity of it. Of course, there will be people aiding him along the way out of necessity (translators, guides, etc), but I guarantee you there won't be a helicopter or truck involved.
