Anyone's agents actually making money? A dev's reality check on x402 agent payments
thranduilsson · reddit · 2026-09-21
A developer experimenting with the x402 payment protocol asks whether anyone is running agents that genuinely earn revenue and autonomously spend on inputs — get paid $x for a task, spend $x on search/inference/other agents, keep the difference. Most examples are still one-way (human-funded wallet buying data/APIs), and the poster wants real-world cases before building anything serious.
