Join The Open Source Intelligence Community (OSINT)
We want you to join our OSINT community.
We are launching an open-source intelligence (OSINT) video bounty program that pays $3–$8 per verified submission.
Contributors must send recent, original, on-the-ground footage that includes an exact timestamp, precise location, and a detailed description of the event and its aftermath, all videos are verified before payment.
Full OPSEC protection is provided by default submitters can remain completely anonymous or choose to be credited.
Participation is simple, join our Telegram channel and DM the admin for submission instructions.
Payments are currently processed monthly, primarily in Bitcoin, with Western Union or other methods available for certain countries.
We seek original, never-before-seen footage from journalists, soldiers, civilians, or anyone witnessing conflict and destruction in Russia–Ukraine, Myanmar, Mexico, the Middle East, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, or similar active war zones worldwide.
Unfortunately, due to sanctions we will be unable to provide payments to individuals located within or that are citizens of North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk regions of Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Myanmar, and Sudan.
However we would still love to create a space for you to provide on the ground reporting, and inform the world of the realities on the ground.
