I just started building an operating system that will be written entirely in one text file. This text file includes in order: a readme, a RISC-V assembly boot code, then the rest. You run it by compiling the initial boot code with a RISC-V

I feel like the only protection against AI in general, not just for tickets, is trust. If I trust you, you can do whatever you want as long as I trust you. If I don't trust you, you can do whatever you want; I will just block or ignore

I know that is a possible problem. Partially, that problem exists with everything; advertisements make people buy from the most popular brands even if they are not the best. Other than that, the developers in this cooperation have to trust

The difference this is supposed to make is that currently most people don't pay for free software. I don't for example. That is because I don't need to. This system is supposed to make more people pay, which should mean that

The thing is that this solution scales better. If you had to pay all developers individually, that would not be worth it but with my solution, you have to pay only one. Also, it doesn't have to be a subscription. The payment is 100% up

This is compatible with that. One such service that distributes payments could sell subscriptions in this system. That's one of the ideas I have had all the time with this project but I guess I forgot to write down; payment distributer
