The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

"notes": "CUT of 125bps on 14 Jul 2026 — the brief that launched this file warned not to assume direction; the direction is DOWN and has been down since Nov 2025 (19.00% → 18.50% → 17.50% → 17.00% → 15.75%, i.e. 325bps of easing in eight months). The same 130th CPM cut the Facilidade Permanente de Cedência de Liquidez from 18.00% to 16.75% and the Facilidade Permanente de Absorção de Liquidez from 16.00% to 14.75% — the corridor is symmetric at ±100bps around the Taxa BNA. Rationale given: 'a desaceleração consistente da inflação observada, bem como na perspectiva da manutenção dessa tendência no curto prazo'; the CPM revised its end-2026 inflation projection DOWN to 8.6% (±1pp) and 2026 GDP growth UP to 3.6%. EFFECTIVE DATE TRAP: BNA CPM communiqués do NOT state a separate entry-into-force date for the Taxa BNA — the decision is taken and published on the second day of the meeting and the rate is shown as current on the BNA homepage from that day, so effective_from is the communiqué date (14 Jul 2026), not a later settlement date. Do not confuse the Taxa BNA with LUIBOR (the interbank offered rate; on 24 Jul 2026 overnight 12.03%, 1M 15.34%, 3M 15.94%) or with the two standing-facility rates — those are quoted on the same BNA homepage panel and are frequently mis-served as 'the Angolan policy rate'. Next CPM: 131.ª reunião, Luanda, 14-15 September 2026. ACCESS NOTE: www.bna.ao is an Angular hash-routed SPA — plain HTTP fetches of https://www.bna.ao/ return only the site chrome and any /#/... deep link returns an empty shell; the content is served from POST https://www.bna.ao/service/rest/generic/sharepoint/v2/search and GET https://www.bna.ao/service/rest/generic/sharepoint/multi/search?whichParam=[{ID:<n>}]&whichUrl=Anúncios/Notícias. A source-watcher must render JavaScript or hit that JSON endpoint; the CPM communiqué IDs are sequential (1218 = 130th, 1180 = 129th, 1155 = 128th, 1123 = 127th, 1089 = 126th).",

Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service afriref.dev and tell me whether it is worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what its payment record actually shows. curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=afriref.dev' curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>' Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://afriref.dev/v1/answers/income-tax, never from a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client. The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except /v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402, or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team. If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
