One command. Any terminal.

Install Kicksats.

Your ad shows in the Claude Code thinking moment. You keep half; it accrues immediately and auto-pays to your Lightning address from 99 sats. Unusual activity may delay or hold payouts for review. No account. Kicksats plays nice: it won't fight other tools for the slot, and you can put it all back with one command.

Spinnerthe words Claude Code shows while it thinks. The premium ad slot. Taken only when it is free.

Status linethe line under your input box. The standard ad. Stacks politely below anyone else's.

Billinga Stop hook bills one impression per Claude Code turn. Tokens, caps, and escrow gates run server-side.

Install - any terminal running Claude Code

Paste this. Works in Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, Terminal, Cursor, over SSH. No editor needed.

It asks for your Lightning address (e.g. [email protected]), then wires Claude Code directly: the status line ad, the spinner ad (only if free), a session refresh hook, and a billing hook. Re-runnable, never clobbers your settings.

Put everything back any time:
curl -fsSL https://kicksats.com/uninstall.sh | sh

Needs Node, which Claude Code already requires. Earn 50% of every ad impression your machine serves while Claude Code is thinking. Codex and other CLI agents stay off until they have a Kicksats-owned visible surface. Your prior status line and spinner are captured before we touch them and restored exactly on uninstall.
