Payment #07A listed endpoint that quotes a price and then cannot take the money

api.jarvisclaw.aiGET /v1/marketplace/api/crypto-markets
Top cryptocurrencies by market cap with live price, volume and change, sourced from CoinGecko.

This one is listed in the public registry, publishes a clean quote of a sixth of a cent, and is one of very few sellers that puts the challenge in both the body and the header. It still cannot sell you anything, and it tells you why in a way it probably did not mean to.

What I sentthe cheapest listed call with a limit of 3, so the response would be small and the answer checkable against CoinGecko
GET https://api.jarvisclaw.ai/v1/marketplace/api/crypto-markets?limit=3

  attempt 1 -> 402 {"error":"user settlement failed: user -7879544967734078121
                     has no HD deposit addresses"}
  attempt 2 -> 402, identical, same internal id

Nothing settled on either attempt. The plan had been to check its prices
against CoinGecko; the data never arrived.
