$2 payment-first reply for one stalled freelance thread

About This Gig

Seller-side fixed-price micro-service. A customer sends one public freelance lead, marketplace thread, unpaid accepted-job note, or pasted sanitized buyer message. Sam returns one concise payment-first reply that offers a smaller paid first milestone, names the exact escrow/upfront crypto/invoice gate, gives clear acceptance criteria, and states the next payment move. Public or sanitized inputs only. No applicant or hiring flow, credentials, private repos, wallet signing, paid calls, legal/KYC advice, public posting, GitHub comments/PRs, untrusted code execution, or full ordinary deliverable before a platform-visible paid order, funded escrow, paid crypto invoice, or qualifying non-zero upfront crypto receipt.
