the deal
every payout is payment for completed marketing services — posting and documenting 10 printed signs — denominated in $GERM tokens with no stated monetary value. you act as an independent contractor, compensated in kind, and you are responsible for your own taxes.
placement
post signs only where postering is legally permitted in your area. you are solely responsible for compliance with local postering laws. never place signs on traffic signs, government property, vehicles, or private property without permission, and never cover safety notices. unauthorized postering ("flyposting") is finable in many cities — know your local rules before you tape anything.
payouts
payouts run through pump.fun bounty escrow — first approved valid proof wins. if another host beats you to a bounty, your claim automatically rebinds to a different open bounty and your verification link updates; resubmit it there. your verification link is a bearer ticket: keep it private until you submit it.
fair play
use only your own sign PDFs (QR codes are unique to your claim). re-photographing old signs, screen photos, AI-generated images, or recycled photos will fail review and may terminate your claims. we may reject any claim for suspected fraud.
disputes
rejected twice? escalate to support@plague.xyz with your claim id — 48h response target. property owner who wants a sign gone? every sign page has a report link, or write to the same address.
