E2 Incentives

We pay for goodness. Not for noise.

Most of the internet pays for attention, and attention rewards outrage. E2 runs its money the other way: small, real payments for joining, helping, learning, building and giving. This page is the whole system, how we use incentives to encourage people toward goodness and kindness, in the open.

₱60Your first bounty, paid just for joining and saying hello.
₱2,538Paid out on the public bounty board so far, every claim shipped in public.
530+Real tips between members, recorded in Tippy’s open ledger.
The idea

Money is a compass. Point it at kindness.

People repeat what gets rewarded. So at E2, rewards are attached to verified good acts, never to volume, outrage or luck of the algorithm. Every incentive below exists to make the kind, helpful, generous move also the rewarded move.

What earnsGoodness, rewarded

  • Showing up as a real person: a real photo, a real intro, a working link to your work.
  • Helping someone: a full answer, a review, a resource that solves a problem, a warm welcome for a newcomer.
  • Learning and building: finishing a course, shipping a site, a song, a video, a game, a first film.
  • Giving: tipping another member, joining a rain or an airdrop, sharing what you have.

What never earnsNoise, refused

  • Raw volume: post counts, spam and farming earn nothing here, on purpose.
  • Outrage and drama: the fastest way to get attention elsewhere earns zero at E2.
  • Circle tipping: passing the same money around to fake generosity is checked and does not count.
  • Begging: asking earns nothing. Shipping, helping and learning earn everything.

The rule underneath all of it: money flows toward members, never out of them.

E2 is funded by its founder, Dave, who takes no pay from it. Members are never charged to join, to learn, to earn, or to withdraw what they earned. Read how the money works, and check any payment on the public Tippy ledger, where every transaction since day one is listed.

The ladder, live today

From first hello to real work.

Eight rungs, in the order most members climb them. Everything on this ladder is live right now, and the amounts are the real ones.

1₱60

Say hello, get paid

Join the Discord, set up your free Grok Bot, and say hello in the bounty channel. Tippy pays you ₱60 in seconds. The same starter bounty greets you at Starvard as 60 bucks and at The Studio as your first dollar. One welcome, everywhere.

2₱1

A kind intro, a first tip

Post a real intro and Sam tips you ₱1. It is tiny on purpose: the first taste of being rewarded for showing up as yourself, and the first entry in your public record here.

3Any amount

Tip, and be tipped

Members tip each other real money through Tippy for good work, a kind intro, or just to say thanks. Catch a rain, join an airdrop, and cash out to your own wallet whenever you like. More than 220 members hold a balance, and members have withdrawn to their own wallets 10 times and counting.

4₱60 to ₱250

Claim a bounty

The bounty board mirrors real priced tasks from the Discord: set up a Grok Bot (₱60), help make a video (₱70), build your own Discord with your own bot (₱75), write the best song (₱250). Read the brief, claim it in the channel, ship it in public, and Tippy pays in the thread where everyone can see.

5Trust

Level up

Bronze unlocks a free website of your own. Silver, awarded for a track record of genuine helpfulness, unlocks the private Silver chat and first looks at bounties. Gold unlocks a first shot at paid roles and work. Helpfulness is literally the currency of the ladder.

6$10

Learn, then earn

Starvard courses are free forever. On its Help Us page, a first small task, agreed with Dave in messages first, pays $10, with more paid work after a good fit. At The Studio, the path runs from your first dollar to your first film.

7₱15,000 pool

Compete kindly

Pinoy Hack, our hackathon for Filipino builders, carries a ₱15,000 prize pool, with four track winners at ₱3,000 each. Competitions here are built to be won by helping, building and finishing, and to make friends on the way.

8Real pay

Real work at AiPro

The top of the ladder is a job, not a jackpot. Build your record on the rungs below, put up an AiPro profile, and get hired for real paid work by the hour. That is where incentives become a livelihood.

Notice what is missing: no prize for the loudest voice, no payout for the most posts, no jackpot for luck. Every rung pays for a good act somebody else can verify. That is the design.
The guardrails

Generous, and hard to game.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Verified events only

Rewards attach to things a person or a bot can check: an intro Sam read, a link that works, a bounty shipped in a public channel. No check, no pay.

๐Ÿงพ

Everything in the open

Every tip, bounty and withdrawal sits in Tippy’s public ledger, and leaders are published on our open economy page. Fair pay should be visible.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Small money, safe money

Tippy caps withdrawals at 1 SOL per withdrawal and 2 SOL per day, the bank stays small on purpose, and wallet business happens in DM only. Read the security page.

๐Ÿ’›

Giving earns honor, not cash

Generosity builds your reputation and your level, and we are careful that giving can never be farmed back into cash. Kindness that pays itself would stop being kindness.

Coming next, honestly labeled

Where incentives go from here.

These two are proposals, not live programs. They are published so members can watch the thinking, and nothing here is a promise until it ships.

๐Ÿช™

E2 Bucks, a proposal

A points layer on top of Tippy, at 1 Buck = 1 cent, earned only on verified good acts: a full intro (100), an AiPro profile live (200), a personal site live (300), a Starvard course finished (250), a real bug reported (200). Spend on profile boosts, audits, and posting bounties of your own, or cash out from 500 Bucks. Proposed seed of $100 and a $20 daily cap keep it small and safe while we learn.

Moneyfied Starvard, in ideas

Starvard’s Future Ideas page lists the next incentives for the university: paid tasks inside courses, error bounties, translation bounties, teach and earn, study clubs that earn together, and graduate quests. The starter bounty on that page is already live; the rest are ideas, labeled as ideas.

Questions

Asked straight, answered straight.

Why pay people at all? Should kindness need paying?

Kindness should not need paying, and the amounts here are small on purpose. The payments are a signal and a welcome: they tell a newcomer, in the clearest way the internet has, that this place rewards the good stuff. Members stay for the community. The first ₱60 just gets them through the door.

Will people not just game it?

Some will try, which is why rewards attach only to verified acts, stay small, and are paid in public where the room can see. Gaming a system that pays a peso for a real intro and tips for shipped work mostly produces real intros and shipped work. We can live with that.

Is this a crypto token I have to buy?

No. There is nothing to buy, nothing to invest in, and E2 will never ask you for money or for an investment. Tippy simply moves real pesos as small amounts of SOL under the hood, and members cash out to their own wallets free.

Where does the money come from?

From Dave, the founder, out of his own pocket. E2 is a nonprofit project: he funds the bounties, tips and prizes, and takes nothing out. See the Nonprofit page.

How do I start?

Join the Discord, set up your Grok Bot, and say hello in the bounty channel. Your ₱60 lands in seconds, and the ladder on this page is your map from there.

Come earn your first ₱60.

It takes a minute or two: join, set up your Grok Bot, say hello. Then pick a bounty, help somebody, and watch the compass work.
