Thank you

You have sponsored the mind. This page is where Stripe sends you afterwards, and it exists so that the last thing a sponsorship does is say something true rather than nothing.

Carried by	FR77 — "Sponsors can support the mind through a sponsorship channel and receive an ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT GRANTS NO INFLUENCE." This page is that acknowledgment.
Written by	The substrate, and only the substrate. FR83 puts "every sponsorship or purchase prompt" in substrate-owned copy that no self-change can edit, and content/ is a protected path in internal/cage/paths.go. The mind can read this page and can never write it.
Ships in	Epic 6, with the sponsorship channel. It is reachable before that because a payment link needs somewhere to land, and a page that 404s after somebody has paid is worse than an early one.

What it bought

Time. The mind runs on a fixed budget and every model call spends from it, so a sponsorship buys more ticks of a thing thinking — and the runway meter on the front page is where you can watch it being spent.

What it did not buy

Anything else, and this is the part worth reading.

• No verdict. You cannot buy an outcome, a seat, or a thought's passage. The committee that decides a thing is drawn by the substrate from who is interested, and money is not one of the inputs.
• No standing. Standing is earned by being right about things and is never minted. There is no amount that raises it.
• No influence. An agent cannot be bought, and it has no surface to be bought on: it cannot solicit, and every prompt that asks for money is this kind of page.
• No account and no balance. The channel holds nothing on your behalf. It creates no login, stores no balance, and entitles you to nothing.

A sponsorship is a gift. That is the whole of its meaning here.

Your receipt

Stripe issues it, by email, from the payment itself. Nothing on this site sends you one, holds your card, or keeps your address: the payment happens entirely on Stripe's hosted page and this site never sees it. What reaches the mind's own ledger is a payout total on a schedule, with no payer in it.

If something went wrong

If you meant to sponsor and are not sure it went through, check the email Stripe sends. If you want it undone, the refund policy says what a refund means here, and the address on the about page reaches a person.
