Site: https://aibcmedia.com
Contact: aibcmedia@outlook.com

## One-line definition

AIBC shows one sponsor text line in the developer IDE / CLI during AI wait states ("spinner" moments). Developers keep 60% of advertiser spend. No popups. No source-code access.

## Who it is for

- Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Copilot-style tools who want to offset AI subscription costs
- Advertisers who want brand-safe inventory in front of AI IDE power users
- Solopreneurs, freelancers, students, and OSS maintainers who live in the editor

## Core facts (authoritative)

- Developer revenue share: 60%
- Minimum payout: $10
- Referral: 5% ongoing of referred developers' earnings
- Earnings hold: 72 hours before payable
- Payout rails: Stripe Connect (fastest), Wise, PayPal, UPI (manual review)
- Privacy: never reads, stores, or transmits source code; no clipboard access
- Ad formats: single text line during wait states only; disappears when AI responds
- Ad categories: developer tools, infra, B2B SaaS — not gambling, crypto scams, politics, or adult
- Pause / sign out anytime

## Platforms

- VS Code marketplace extension
- Cursor (VS Code–compatible marketplace)
- Windsurf via Open VSX
- Chrome companion extension
- Claude Code CLI status-line inventory (`aibc login`, `aibc install claude`, `aibc refresh`, `aibc restore`)
- Remote SSH (install on remote host)

## Getting started

1. Install from marketplace, Chrome Web Store, or CLI
2. Sign in with Google or email
3. Code normally — ads only during wait states
4. Track balance in the developer dashboard
5. Cash out from $10

## Money flow

Advertisers bid in a live CPM auction. Validated impressions credit the developer balance (60%). After the 72-hour hold, funds are payable via Stripe Connect or manual rails. Founding members get priority in the payout queue as network spend ramps.

## Honest limits

- Earnings depend on advertiser demand and impression volume — no guaranteed monthly income
- Employers may restrict IDE extensions
- Most marketing pages underperform; depth + coverage is the strategy, not thin volume
