cto fee - '30 XRP Sent': Ripple CTO Emeritus Fulfills XRP Offer
In a recent response on X, Ripple CTO emeritus David Schwartz shares an $XRPtransaction hash, alongside which he wrote, "$XRPsent," causing attention on X.
The transaction details provided by Bithomp indicated 30 $XRPworth $44.05 sent by Schwartz to a receiving address at a fee of 0.000012 worth $0.000018.
This unusual move follows an interesting twist in an X conversation with Schwartz promising to send 30 $XRPfor AI prompts.
Earlier, the Ripple CTO emeritus had identified a critic after a legal argument ensued on X, with another user highlighting that the critic had used AI to generate demeaning responses to Schwartz. This caught Schwartz's interest, with him seeking to know the AI prompts being used.
"I'd pay serious money to see his prompts. They're probably hilarious," Schwartz responded and made an $XRPoffer to the critic.
"I'll give you 15 $XRPfor each prompt you share in the thread, up to 10 prompts. You have to figure out how to get a receiving address," Schwartz added.
Sorry, I'm not sure why it took me so long to find this.

$XRPgifting story revisited
Ripple CTO emeritus David Schwartz once revisited a story that centered around $XRPgifting in March.
Schwartz recalled that the first email anyone had ever sent him with the word "$XRP" in it was from Vinnie Falco, who asked for some $XRPback in February 2013. This came less than a year after $XRPLedger launched. The trio of David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto launched XRPL in June 2012.
When asked if he had sent him some $XRP, Schwartz responded that the inventor of Google autocomplete, Alex Kravets, sent Falco instead.
