99Prayers v0.1

Fair questions

Careful questions are welcome here.

Are you seriously paying people to pray?

Yes. Prayer Practitioners are compensated for the time and commitment involved in completing prayer requests. We do not claim that money makes a prayer more powerful or that paying earns divine favor. We believe the power of present-moment consciousness, awareness, and intention can amplify the power of prayer — and that real human attention matters.

So you're selling prayers?

99Prayers charges for coordinating a network of 99 people who commit to completing a requested prayer. Practitioners are compensated for participating. We make no claim that spiritual outcomes can be purchased.

Does paying more buy a better prayer?

No. A higher offer is intended to move a request higher in the assignment queue. It does not make a prayer spiritually superior and does not guarantee any outcome.

Why should someone get priority because they're richer?

That criticism is fair to raise. Higher offers help attract practitioners faster. Waiting time also increases priority so lower-priced requests are not intended to remain buried indefinitely.

How do I know anyone actually prayed?

For standard requests, completion relies on the practitioner's affirmation. Recorded options provide stronger evidence. No platform can verify another person's private internal spiritual intention.

Couldn't someone just click completed 99 times?

A single practitioner can only occupy one slot on a request. Suspicious behavior can be reviewed. Future recorded options provide additional evidence.

Are recorded prayers AI generated?

No. AI-generated or synthetic recordings are prohibited as evidence of completion. Recorded prayer must contain the actual practitioner's voice.

Are you training AI on my prayers?

No.

Are you selling my prayer requests or personal information?

No. We do not sell prayer data and do not use prayer text for targeted advertising.

Can Prayer Practitioners see who I am?

Only information the requester chooses to disclose should be shown.

Can practitioners contact me?

No, not in v0.1 and not through off-platform contact obtained from prayer data.

What if my prayer is embarrassing or deeply personal?

Requests are intended to be private by default. Only assigned practitioners and authorized platform staff should access full prayer content in the future live system.

Can I request harm against someone?

No.

Can I submit a manipulative or coercive verbatim prayer about another person?

99Prayers may reject requests that threaten, degrade, coerce, harass, or target identifiable people in harmful ways.

How do you verify somebody is Christian?

We do not claim to determine whether someone is a "real Christian." Verified status, when used, refers to additional identity and/or community-affiliation review.

How do you verify somebody is spiritual?

We cannot objectively verify spirituality. We can verify identity, references, certain affiliations, and platform behavior.

Is this a church?

No, unless the legal organization later actually becomes one.

Is this a charity?

We do not claim charity status unless legally established.

Are prayer payments donations?

No. Planned prayer-request payments are service payments unless legal structure later explicitly says otherwise.

Are payments tax deductible?

We do not claim tax deductibility unless legally confirmed.

Is this prosperity gospel?

No. 99Prayers does not teach that payment produces divine favor, wealth, healing, or a specific outcome. The brand may use visual themes of abundance, generosity, flourishing, and community.

Isn't this exploitative?

That concern deserves a straight answer. Compensation should be disclosed upfront, assignments voluntary, outcomes not guaranteed, privacy protected, and practitioners free to decline.

You're taking a cut of prayer?

99Prayers plans to charge a small disclosed platform fee for operating the service. Practitioner compensation, platform fee, and payment/network costs should be shown separately.

Who owns 99Prayers?

99Prayers is privately operated. The service limits unnecessary publication of team members' personal information for privacy and security. Legally required disclosures will be made where required.

Why Bitcoin?

Bitcoin can support direct global digital payments across different banking environments. It also introduces technical and regulatory complications, which is why real payment functionality is not enabled in v0.1.

What happens if only 97 people pray?

The planned live system does not mark a prayer complete until 99 qualifying practitioners complete it. Expired or declined assignments are replaced.

When do practitioners get paid?

The planned system settles only after all 99 qualifying completions have been recorded.

What happens if 99Prayers disappears?

For v0.1, payments are not live, so the site does not accept prayer funds. Future live payment design must disclose settlement and failure behavior clearly before money is accepted.

Are payments live right now?

No. 99Prayers v0.1 is a pre-launch recruitment and product-preview release.

Why launch a site before payments work?

Because the network depends on having real practitioners first. v0.1 is being used to build that practitioner community and test the product honestly before accepting money.
