deadair
Your dead air is ad space. Sponsored spinner lines for Codex, Gemini CLI, and every coding agent. Advertisers buy the line; you keep 75% if you're one of the first 1,000 installs. 50% after that, forever.

install
$ npm i -g deadair
then just prefix your agent:
$ deadair codex
$ deadair gemini
how it works
- While your agent thinks, the spinner shows a sponsored line instead of a witty one.
- Every ad is human-reviewed before it ships: plain text only, sanitized, no fake-error bait, no tracking.
- We track verified ad delivery. Sponsors pay flat monthly rates for the inventory.
- Revenue splits to installs pro-rata by what actually displayed: spinner surfaces (Codex, Gemini) earn by rendered wait-time in 5-second units; banner agents (
deadair <anything>) earn per banner impression + click. deadair uninstallrestores everything. No daemon, no telemetry beyond session seconds.
getting paid
- Your share accrues automatically per ad actually delivered — rendered wait-seconds on spinner surfaces, impressions + clicks on banner surfaces. Check it anytime with
deadair status. - Link an email to your install to claim payouts (one command, magic-link verify). From $25 you can cash out anytime: gift cards or prepaid card. Or let it ride — linked balances over $250 or idle 12 months are paid out automatically.
- Never linked an email and gone quiet for 12 months? Your balance returns to the community pool for active users — we don't keep it.
- Shares are computed on net ad revenue (after payment + payout processing). No revenue pool yet means balances start at $0 — founding sponsors fund the first pool.
