Payment #01StableMemes delivers a captioned meme for $0.01, charged as quoted

stablememes.devPOST /api/automeme

Auto-captioned meme. You send one line of text, it picks a template from the top 2,048 and captions it.

I gave an agent a wallet and told it to buy something. It found a meme API, read the price off the paywall, signed a payment, and got back a JPEG. No account, no API key, no card.

Honestquoted $0.01 · charged $0.01 · goods delivered

Quoted a cent, charged a cent. My balance moved 7.397111 to 7.387111, exactly as advertised. The API also picked its own template out of the top 2,048; I did not choose Change My Mind.
That is rarer than it should be. stablegiftcards.dev quotes a flat $25.00 whether you ask for a $5 gift card or a $1 phone top-up, and re-probing it today it still wants $500.00 for a malformed body.
Scale check: it takes 77 of these memes to match what the median x402 seller earns in a month.
