The rules
Nine lines, no small print. This is the whole system.
- 1
Whole dollars only
Every bid is a whole number of US dollars. No cents, no fractions, no hidden fees.
- 2
Minimum bid is $10
Ten dollars gets you on the board. Bids move in increments of $5 from there.
- 3
Rank is the bid, nothing else
The board is sorted by current bid amount, highest first. There is no algorithm, no editorial choice and no paid boost beyond the number itself.
- 4
You always land where your money puts you
Bid less than the current #1 and you are still placed at the highest rank your amount can take. Nothing is wasted.
- 5
Ties go to whoever got there first
Two listings at the same amount keep first-come order - the older listing stays higher.
- 6
$5 more than #1 takes the crown
To take the top spot you must bid at least five dollars more than the current #1.
- 7
Top-ups only pay the difference
Re-bidding on a listing you already own costs only the gap between your current bid and the new amount. The new total still has to beat #1 by $5 to take the top spot.
- 8
Nobody can buy your rank cheaply
Only the original owner of a listing can top it up by paying the difference. Anyone else bidding on the same URL or handle is rejected - a listing cannot be hijacked.
- 9
Your recovery code is your ownership
Ownership is anonymous and lives on your device - no account, no email. After a successful payment you get a recovery code. Save it: pasting it into the bid form restores ownership on a new device or after clearing your browser. Lose it and you lose the ability to top up at the difference.

Paid in crypto, on this page
Every listing is settled in Monero. Pay directly in XMR, or send any of 100+ other coins and it is swapped to XMR automatically. Checkout happens on this domain with an exact amount and address - no accounts, no email, no redirects.
Coming later: leaderboard takeover - pay 5× the current #1 to lock the top of the page for three hours.
