Pulsed Media AI Credits

From Pulsed Media Wiki

Pulsed Media accounts with an active service earn AI credits from the service invoices they pay. Earned credits cost nothing extra and nothing is added to your invoice; more can be bought with the monthly Virsilipas plans. The credits pay for AI requests made with your own API key, from a script on your seedbox or from any chat or coding tool that accepts an OpenAI-compatible address. A Dragon-R Temeraire at list price earns 13,498,500 credits a month, enough for about 50 million input tokens on the default model.

The key and your balance are on the Virsilipas AI key page in the client area. Virsilipas is the song-box of the Kalevala, opened before the singing starts.

How many credits you earn

credits = what you pay in euros × plan multiplier ÷ 100 × (1 + account bonus in percent ÷ 150) × 1,000,000

Multiplier 1 means 1 % of what you pay. One euro of allowance is 1,000,000 credits, so a multiplier 5 plan paid €10 adds 500,000 credits before any bonus.

Plan Multiplier
Most plans: seedboxes, storage boxes, SSD seedboxes, dedicated servers 2.5
Shared M10G seedboxes: M10G S, M, L and XL 5
Dragon-R Mushu, Toruk, Shenlong and Temeraire 15

M10G SSD and M10G Storage plans, and the Dragon-R special-offer plans, earn the default multiplier 2.5.

  • The service invoices you pay count, renewals and new orders alike, add-ons and upgrades included, without VAT. A yearly payment earns the credits for the whole year at once.
  • The Support Boost add-on earns at its own fixed multiplier instead: 25, 50 or 100 for the +10%, +25% and +100% levels. The account bonus does not apply to it.
  • The Token Booster add-on gives you more credits from one service: its price comes back as credits, and the credits that service earns, Support Boost included, grow by 25%, 50% or 100%, up to the booster's price again. The account bonus does not apply to the booster's own payment.
  • The account bonus is the account-level part of your bonus, from 0 to 300 %. It counts your time as a customer, what you have paid net of payment fees and account credit you hold, minus refunds. It leaves out the per-service terms (how long a service has run, extra services, products, referrals), so it can be lower than the bonus your service page shows. At 300 % the factor is 3, so multiplier 2.5 becomes 7.5 (7.5 % of what you pay) and multiplier 5 becomes 15.
  • A refund takes back the credits that payment earned.
  • Credits from all your services go to one balance for the account. Under the current rules they do not expire and they keep adding up.
  • Accounts with an active service at launch get a one-off grant at multiplier 1: 1 % of what they paid for services in the 12 months before, net of refunds. Plan multiplier and account bonus do not apply to it.

The multipliers are the current rules and may change. The credit history on the client-area page lists what was actually added, such as the opening grant, invoices and refunds.

Worked example

An M10G S at its list price of €8.99 a month has multiplier 5:

Account bonus Credits per month
0 % 449,500
150 % 899,000
300 % 1,348,500

Buying more credits

Three monthly Virsilipas plans add credits on top of what your services earn. Each plan earns a fixed share of its own price, from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 credits per euro. The account bonus does not apply to plans.

Plan Price per month Credits per month Credits per euro
Virsilipas 100 €9.99 9,990,000 1,000,000
Virsilipas 150 €49.99 74,985,000 1,500,000
Virsilipas 200 €299.99 599,980,000 2,000,000
  • The credits reach your key within minutes of a paid invoice, and again on every renewal.
  • A plan can be ordered more than once. Each order adds its own credits to the same key and balance.
  • Bought and earned credits share one balance and, under the current rules, do not expire.
  • A refund takes back the credits that payment added.
  • The account gets its key with its first credits, so a plan works without any other service.

Prices as of October 2026, without VAT. The Virsilipas page has the current prices and the order buttons.

Credits per plan

The figures use each plan's current list price per month, which excludes VAT like all listed Pulsed Media prices. Your own credits follow what you actually pay, so a discount, an older price or a different billing period changes them. The token columns show what the month's credits buy on the default model if all of them go to input, or all to output; real requests mix the two. The tables cover every plan that has active services and a list price.

Models and what a request costs

You pick a model by its alias. Each alias has three prices in credits per million tokens: fresh input, cached input (prompt text the model service serves from its cache) and output. Reasoning tokens count as output.

Each model can also be called by its own name from the Model column, at the same prices as its alias. GET /v1/models lists every alias and model name your key can use, with current prices.

A request costs (fresh input × input price + cached × cached price + output × output price) ÷ 1,000,000, rounded up once per request. Each answer reports what it cost in usage.credits. A request is never allowed to spend more than your balance, and a refused request costs nothing.

Using your key

  • In the client area, the account owner sees the key on the Virsilipas AI key page, along with credits left, usage for the last 30 days and the credit history. Get a new key replaces a key that may have leaked: the old one stops working at once, so update it wherever you use it.
  • If your seedbox has the file ~/.virsilipasKey, readable only by you, it holds the key in two lines: endpoint= and key=.
  • The address is https://virsilipas.mcx.fi/v1, speaking OpenAI-compatible chat completions. The same server also takes the Anthropic Messages format at /v1/messages, the format Claude Code uses, for every alias except nolimits-flash, nolimits-qwen and nolimits-mimo and those three models' own names, and the Gemini API format at /v1beta/models/, the format Gemini CLI uses, for every alias. Keys start with vsk-.

From a shell on your seedbox (SSH, or the dashboard console where it is available):

KEY=$(sed -n 's/^key=//p' ~/.virsilipasKey)
# No key file yet? Run  read -rs KEY  instead, paste your key from the client area and press Enter.
curl https://virsilipas.mcx.fi/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"model": "default", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say hello."}]}'

The answer is in choices[0].message.content. Add "stream": true to the body and -N to curl to stream it.

Check your balance and usage with the same key:

curl https://virsilipas.mcx.fi/v1/balance -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
curl https://virsilipas.mcx.fi/v1/usage -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"

/v1/usage shows your usage per day and per model for the last 30 days, and the grants that added to your balance.

Any tool or library that lets you set an OpenAI-compatible base URL and API key works too: set the base URL to https://virsilipas.mcx.fi/v1, the key to your vsk- key and the model to an alias. Requests are text only; an image, audio or file part is refused. The README has JavaScript and PHP examples, and docs/API.md covers every field, header and error.

The key is not tied to your seedbox. Using Pulsed Media AI Credits on Any Linux Server sets up the same key file, Python, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Pikkumies on any Linux machine, most of it without root.

Keep the key private. Anyone who has it can spend your credits, so never put it in a web folder, a torrent or a file you share.

Privacy

The credit service is open source: mcxVirsilipas on GitHub. Its code never stores or logs the text of prompts or answers; per request it records counts such as tokens and credits, the model alias, status and timing. Your prompt does go to the model service that answers it.

Of the AI coding tools installed on seedboxes, Codex, Claude Code and Gemini CLI start on these credits by themselves on a server with a current PMSS when ~/.virsilipasKey holds your key, unless you have set the tool up with an account of your own. OpenClaw does the same when you install it with the key in place. How it works and how to turn it off.

Credits with your plan

AI credits come with Pulsed Media services, and they grow with your account bonus, which rises with your time as a customer and what you pay, up to three times your plan multiplier. See the seedbox and storage box plans. When your work needs more than your services earn, the Virsilipas plans add up to 2,000,000 credits per euro, from €9.99 a month.
