The rules

Everything else, in order.

01What does a payment actually do?

You pick an amount and you pick an effect. The amount is any whole euro from €1 to €1,000 - there are no packages and no tiers to choose from. The effect is either one kitten dancing on the stage, or a nuke that interrupts every kitten at once. Whatever you buy happens on a shared timeline: everybody with the page open sees the same thing at the same moment, not a private copy.

02Does paying more do something different?

Yes, and what exactly is deliberately not published. Every payment draws its dance from a pool, and larger amounts can reach parts of that pool that smaller ones cannot. The thresholds are not written down anywhere on the site: knowing them would turn a surprise into a vending machine.

03How does the board rank?

Rank is the sum of everything you have paid, in cents. That is the whole rule. There is no auction, no bidding war, no minimum to enter above the price of a dance: pay more in total than the row above you and you pass it. Every euro you have ever spent still counts toward that total.

04What is the difference between All time and Today?

All time never resets: it is the sum of everything, forever. Today resets at midnight, Europe/Rome time, and starts everyone from zero. Whoever is first on Today wears the crown shown on the stage, and keeps it until somebody passes their total for the day.

05Do my payments add up across sessions?

They do. If you leave a link, your totals add up per domain, so paying three times from yourname.com is one row with a bigger number, not three small rows - and www. is ignored, so it never splits you in two. If you leave a name but no link, they add up per name instead. The name shown is the last one you typed.

06Do I have to give a name?

No. Name and link are both optional and nothing about the payment depends on them. Without a name the dance still happens, the receipt still appears in the feed, and the money still counts in the totals at the top of the page - it just does not get a row on the board, and shows up as 'someone' instead. Anonymous payments are not aggregated into a single row on purpose: one unbeatable 'Anonymous' entry would kill the competition the board exists for.

07Can my email address end up on the site?

No, and it is enforced in more than one place. Stripe collects an email to send you a receipt; it never reaches this site's storage, and it is never shown, logged, or attached to anything public. On top of that, a name shaped like an email address is rejected rather than cleaned up: the payment goes through, the dance happens, and it is credited anonymously.

08What are the rules for links?

A link has to be a normal public web address, http or https. Anything else - other schemes, embedded credentials, custom ports, bare IP addresses - is dropped, and the payment goes through without it. Every link on the board is marked as a paid placement for search engines, opens in a new tab, and passes no ranking signal. A link on this board is a link somebody paid for. It is not an endorsement.

09How is the board moderated?

After the fact, not before. There is no approval queue, because a queue would mean waiting to see the thing you just paid for. Anything abusive or misleading gets removed from both boards and blocked from coming back. Removing a row does not undo the payment or the dance that was already shown.

10What currency am I charged in?

Euro, always. Payments are handled by Stripe and this site never sees your card details. The currency switch in the header changes only how the numbers are displayed: the dollar figures are an approximate conversion, marked with a tilde, and the amount actually charged is the euro one.
