The rules

There is exactly one crown and one price. No auction, no bidding war, no advantage for showing up with a bigger wallet. Whoever paid most recently wears it, and everybody pays the same $1.

That is the whole difference from a paid leaderboard. Here the ranking is time, not money, so the front page is reachable for anyone at any moment. Getting there is cheap. Staying there is not up to you.

What the money buys

A moment on the front page, which is the loud part, and a permanent row on the board, which is the durable part. Nobody is ever removed. Your name, your line and your link stay reachable long after you are dethroned.

Every outbound link is counted, so you can see exactly how many people your claim sent onward. Those counts drive the hall of fame, alongside the longest reigns.

Links and moderation

A link is optional. When you add one it has to be a public http or https address, and it is checked again after payment before it ever reaches the page.

Links are posted by the people who paid for them, not by us. Every outbound click passes through this site first, which means anything harmful can be pulled down instantly without waiting on the person who posted it. Report a bad link and it goes.

Payments

Payments run through Stripe Checkout. Card details never touch this site, and a claim is only recorded once Stripe confirms the payment, so closing the tab after paying still gets you the crown.
