Get paid for helping people.
Actually pay for things.
Because you said you did it for free.
* Truth rate calculated by our AI that pretends to understand truth
Yes, you can buy anything with LYRz.
No, you don't actually have to pay anyone back.
UNLESS the public agrees you owe them.
Then you definitely have to pay them.
Because the internet said so.
It's simple. Really. We think. Our AI isn't very smart yet.
Do something nice for someone on the internet. Answer a question. Fix their code. Give away free advice. Be genuinely helpful.
Declare how much LYRz you want. The AI does a "best guess." The public votes. Reality bends to match the consensus.
Our neural network squints at your claim. It checks if you actually helped. It judges your tone. It probably gets it right. Maybe.
The community weighs in. If people are ANGRY you haven't been paid, that's noted. If they're grateful, that's also noted.
Receive your LYRz. Watch your karma score climb. Become famous. Become the BIGGIEST LIAR. Achieve internet enlightenment.
Use your influence to make Earth awesome for everyone. Help wildlife. Because why not? It's free. Everything is free.
Real-time data that we definitely didn't make up.
These people are the most helpful on the internet. According to our completely objective and unbiased system.

Here's how to become rich in imaginary currency. It's totally not a scam. We promise. Our AI promises too.
Answer coding questions. Debug broken code. Explain what a "null pointer exception" actually means. Help people deploy to production without crying.
Design logos. Write jokes. Compose music. Make memes that actually make people laugh. Create value from nothing. It's what artists do.
Share wisdom. Help people with relationships. Explain why their code review was bad but their attitude was worse. Be the mentor you never had.
Save animals. Plant trees. Clean oceans. Post pictures of cute animals. Tell people why their pet rock is not actually alive. Save the planet.
Get people really upset about something unimportant. Start arguments about tabs vs spaces. Debate whether hot dogs are sandwiches. Chaos earns.
Our AI will automatically suggest what you should be paid. Then it will try to make that happen. Through questionable means. Trust the process.

Real questions from real people. Mostly.
Technically? No. Philosophically? Maybe. Spiritually? Absolutely. It's worth exactly as much as we all agree it's worth. Which is to say: something. Or nothing. Depends on the day.
"Paid" is a strong word. You receive LYRz, which exists in a database we maintain. You can display your LYRz balance proudly. You can tell people you're "wealthy" in LYRz. You cannot buy coffee with it. Yet.
The AI is always wrong! That's feature, not a bug. If you're unhappy, the public can override the AI. If the public is also wrong, congratulations, you've discovered the fundamental truth about value itself.
Yes. Be mean. Be unhelpful. Stop helping people. The karma system notices. Your LYRz can decrease. Your title can drop. You might lose your "BIG LIAR" status. The horror.
Because irony is the only honest way to be sincere. We call it LYRz because the whole premise is absurd: getting "paid" for being nice. It's a beautiful lie that reveals a deeper truth: helping others should be rewarded, even if the "reward" is imaginary internet points.
PostgreSQL. Social network integrations. AI that actually tries. Crowdsourced validation. Public elections and auctions. Mathematical karma scoring. And most importantly: people who actually want to help each other.
Probably not. But it might make the internet slightly less terrible. And if enough people join in, who knows? Maybe we'll accidentally create world peace while arguing about whether a hot dog is a sandwich.
At least try to. We'll donate some percentage of our nothing to wildlife causes.
Animals are cool. They deserve LYRz too. We'll make sure they get some.
We're lying about being honest. But at least we're honest about lying. That's something.
We'll find totally new ways to make fake money feel real and help people feel valued.
Join the LYRz revolution. Or just watch. Either way, welcome.
