Why is this exclusive? Why not just free or cheap?
Because tools that are free attract noise. Every session costs real GPU compute on Decart's backend — we're not going to eat that cost for tire-kickers. The $100 filter means everyone in the community is serious about building with this. You're paying for a better tool and a better community around it.
What do I actually need to run it?
A webcam, internet, and a license key. No GPU. Lucy 2.0 runs in the cloud — your machine just sends webcam frames up and receives the transformed stream back. Works on a Mac mini as well as a gaming PC.
Why Bitcoin only? Can I pay with card?
No cards. No PayPal. No KYC. We accept Bitcoin on-chain and Lightning. If you don't have BTC, grab some from Strike, Cash App, or your preferred exchange. The whole point is global access with zero gatekeeping.
How do I actually stream with it?
Open the app, upload your avatar photo, click Start. In OBS, add a Window Capture source, select the LucyStream window, and crop to the large output video. That's it — your avatar now shows up anywhere your camera would normally appear.
What's the real catch on pricing?
No catch. Access pass is a one-time fee. You get 10 minutes included. After that, you buy top-ups as you need them — no subscription, no auto-renewal, no "premium tier." Credits don't expire. Use them at your pace.
Is this legal? Will I get banned from Twitch?
Platform rules differ. Most accept AI avatars (VTubers have been doing this for years with Live2D). We prohibit impersonating real people without consent — our ToS is clear on that. Use it for characters, generated faces, or your own stylized self. You're responsible for what you stream.
What happens if the app breaks or Lucy's API is down?
If Decart's servers have downtime, your credits stay — we don't deduct for time you couldn't stream. We monitor uptime and issue automatic credit refunds for outages longer than 15 minutes. Telegram group gets real-time status updates.
Refunds?
No. All BTC payments are final — the blockchain doesn't do chargebacks and neither do we. But we'll let you test with the 10 included minutes before you commit to top-ups, and the community is there if something's wrong.
