- For
- People considering earning from personal data
- Worth noticing
- The page says queries below 25 contributors are refused; its Intel TDX verification panel is still marked “awaiting quote.”
Field notes
The page lists voice notes, dashcam rides, typing rhythm, dream journals, receipts, and screen-time data as day-one inputs. Its proposed flow uses browser-side encryption and releases aggregate answers with signed receipts rather than raw files. The query log is labeled example data: one displayed case refuses an 18-person query under the k≥25 floor, while the Intel TDX quote, QE report, PCK chain, and key binding are shown as awaiting.
