@FediTips you can get money for posting, it's just not official, not paid by Mastodon gGmbH, not much like 5 ct per post and in many countries it's not legal. payment is in bitcoin or by some shady "culture club" with or without a line over several nodes to some government.

So if someone with technical expertise gets such a message on a throwaway account and feels brave... would be interesting if it's just some ordinary scam or if there are more interesting actors behind.
