What is this?
A ten-position attention game. People publish claims, put money behind them, and let the audience decide which claims remain visible. Do you believe in .lol?
Frequently
asked
questions.
What does a stake mean?
It means someone was willing to lock money behind a claim. It does not mean the claim is true, verified, endorsed, or likely to succeed.
What happens to my payment?
At payment, 10% is recorded as a project allocation and 90% becomes your locked market stake. A $100 payment creates a $10 allocation and a $90 stake. The allocation is recorded in the internal ledger; the first version does not automatically transfer it to another Stripe account.
Can I withdraw while I am active?
No. This is the point of the game. A contribution is locked until it is not: it remains locked while the claim is active and unlocks when the claim is bumped or the board epoch closes.
What happens when I am bumped?
The claim leaves the active board. Each verified contributor receives the 90% stake associated with their contribution, subject to settlement processing and any legally required exceptions. The 10% allocation was already accounted for at payment.
Can supporters stake behind me?
Yes. Supporters add their own contribution to the claim. They do not give the creator permission to withdraw it, and the creator cannot spend or redirect supporter funds.
Are there refunds?
No voluntary refunds. You are paying to enter a locked attention game, not buying a reversible product. This does not waive legally required consumer rights, duplicate-charge corrections, unauthorized-payment claims, chargebacks, or remedies for a platform error.
How are claims ranked?
By total active stake, with ten positions on the board. The public page should show the current stake, contributors, rank changes, time active, and settlement state. Empty fields stay empty; we do not manufacture traction.
How does Fathom work here?
The page loads Fathom on the landing page, market page, and FAQ. The market page asks the Fathom API for aggregate stats for the last 30 days. The red/green light tells you whether the server received a Fathom response; it is not a guarantee that every browser escaped an ad blocker.
What if Fathom did not see me?
If the light is red, the page offers a pre-filled tweet saying you were here. That tweet is a self-reported attendance receipt, not silently merged into Fathom. It can be reviewed and added to the public accounting as a separate evidence class.
Is this an investment?
No. There is no yield, profit promise, appreciation claim, or investment return. The stake is collateral inside a game about belief and attention. If the legal classification is uncertain, the payment rail must remain off until reviewed.
Why publish the numbers?
Because the thesis means nothing without the artifact. We publish what attention was measured, which source measured it, the time window, and what remains unmeasured. A red light is more useful than a flattering fiction.
Questions, edge cases, and corrections should be treated as part of the game design. The rules are not a substitute for payment-provider terms or legal advice.
