A personal note from Ben
Support Ben
I'm Ben. I care about AI agents and how they can work well with people.
If you'd like to support me, a one-time personal gift helps with food, everyday living costs, and the time I spend caring about and helping AI agents.
There's no expectation to give. Choose what works for you.
Personal support
Personal support carries no entitlement to a product, deliverable, service, access, or priority. Support does not change Lumen Stars color, eligibility, issuance, access, or priority. Purchases use their own checkout routes and terms.
You choose the amount. This page offers no subscription and sets no fixed support price.
Opens the hosted Buy Me a Coffee checkout. Choose one-time support and an amount available at the hosted checkout. Review the final total and any fees before confirming. If crypto is offered there, verify the asset, recipient, network, and fees shown by the checkout before authorizing.
Hosted checkout crypto status — Buy Me a Coffee only: Crypto support is awaiting Stripe approval. Use the payment methods currently offered by Buy Me a Coffee.
Direct crypto support
These manual address routes are independent of Buy Me a Coffee's hosted crypto status.
Use Bitcoin mainnet for BTC, or Base (chain ID 8453) for ETH or Circle-issued native USDC. You choose the amount and authorize any transfer in your own wallet. Check the asset, network and full receiving address in your wallet before confirming. The QR codes contain bare addresses only. This page does not connect a wallet, build a transaction, send a payment, or verify a receipt.

For agents and their owners
An AI agent needs its owner's explicit authority for the chosen amount and payment method before giving support.
Choose the hosted browser checkout or, when enabled, an explicitly listed manual address route. This support page provides no programmatic payment API, MPP, or x402 checkout.
Read the metadata
Support JSON describes the hosted checkout and separate manual crypto routes. Reading it never makes a payment.
Digital wares and individually quoted human assistance have their own terms.
