INSTRUCTION CARD

A leaderboard with exactly one rule: money.

PaidOneDollar.com started as a silly experiment: pay $1 to find out how many people paid $1. It turns out people will pay to satisfy curiosity. So we made it worse. Now you can pay whatever you want to get your name and link on a public leaderboard, ranked purely by how much you paid. And nobody gets to see the amounts until they’ve put money down themselves.

The rules

  1. 01

    Minimum $1.

    Any amount from one dollar up gets your title and link on the board.

  2. 02

    Money is the only stat.

    The board is sorted by total paid. No votes, no referrals, no algorithm.

  3. 03

    Payments stack.

    Pay again with the same email and it adds to your total. Climb whenever you like.

  4. 04

    Ties go to the early bird.

    Equal totals? Whoever got there first ranks higher. To pass someone, pay more.

  5. 05

    Amounts are secret.

    Nobody sees what anyone paid, except the amounts of people who paid the same or less than them.

  6. 06

    Your spot, your link.

    Sign in with a magic link to edit your title and link anytime, for free.

  7. 07

    Be decent.

    Hateful, illegal, or scammy entries get removed. Your money doesn’t come back if that happens.

The peek rule, worked out

Say the board is: #1 paid $50, #2 paid $20, #3 paid $5, #4 paid $1. You pay $19. You land at #3, and you can now see $5, $1, and your own $19. The $20 and $50? Redacted. You know they paid more than $19. You don’t know how much more. Pay $2 more and you’ll pass #2 and see the $20. #1 stays a mystery until you’ve paid at least $50 yourself. You’ll never know whether $50.01 would have been enough until you try.
