one bitcoin identity, built so sites pay you in sats.

Sign in with email or a bitcoin wallet. Sites that wire it in price the events they value and pass you a share, in sats — not a token, not points. No KYC.

The payout rail is in bring-up, so no sats move yet. OrangeCheck holds what accrues until a federation takes over. how custody works

i'm a user

no kyc and no pii required. each site sees you under its own id, so you are not tracked across sites.

  1. 1 · sign in — email or a bitcoin wallet you already own
  2. 2 · earn — a share of what sites pay, in sats · paid once the rail settles
  3. 3 · graduate — move to a wallet you control · opens when the first federation binds

i'm an integrator

add a sign-in that pays your users, alongside your oauth. you price each event and choose their share; orangecheck holds it today.

  1. 1 · fund — set per-event prices and your user-share split, fund escrow
  2. 2 · integrate — drop oc sign-in next to your oauth; receipts verify offline forever
  3. 3 · monitor — watch events on the developer dashboard; payouts accrue until the rail settles
§ the mechanism

every event pays, and the split is published.

A site decides which of its events are worth paying for and what each one is worth. From there the arithmetic is fixed and anyone can check it — these are the real prices, run through the same function that bills them.

§ and the same signature does three jobs
01

a user does something on a site that wired this in

A sign-in, a payment, a verification at a gate. The site decides which of its events are worth paying for, and what each one is worth.

02

one envelope

The event becomes a single content-addressed record. Change any field and it is a different record with a different id — there is no version of it that quietly disagrees with the one the user was shown.

  1. to the user

    sats to the user

    sats, not a token or points. None move until the payout rail settles.

    the split ↗
  2. to the chain

    a receipt on bitcoin

    anchored to a block and published publicly — it keeps verifying if orangecheck disappears.

    verify one ↗
  3. to the identity

    a stronger identity

    paid history accrues to the identity — which is what makes the next site want to fund it.

    the four no’s ↗
↺ and back to 01

A paid history is what makes the identity worth funding, so the third output is what pays for the first. No token printer, no subsidy — every sat a user earns is one a site chose to pay for something that actually happened.

§ the four no's

no token, no kyc, no cross-site graph. custody in the open.

[01]

no token.

what you earn is sats, not a points balance that only spends here.

[02]

custody, in the open.

orangecheck runs every role during bring-up, custodian included. /custody shows each one, live.

[03]

no cross-site graph.

each site sees its own scoped id, so sites can't correlate you. a standing commitment, not yet a cryptographic impossibility.

[04]

no kyc.

an email or a bitcoin wallet is enough. a wallet identity gives orangecheck no pii at all.

§ start now

one identity. sats by default. graduation by design.

sign up with email or a bitcoin wallet you already use, or wire the sign-in into your own site. no token, no kyc, no documents — a wallet identity gives us no pii, and email sign-in stores only an encrypted address to reach you.

with thanks to bram kanstein — whose work on bitcoin as sovereignty layer shaped the premise.
