# BidSwarm

The price of attention, in public. A board of 500 ranks. Rank is rented, not earned.

## How it works

- A bidder pays a rung on the ladder: $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $500.
- The payment becomes the Bid. Rank is the order of Bids, highest first.
- Every Bid decays 1%/h: bid(t) = paid * 0.99 ^ hours_since_publication.
- Under $0.50 the row leaves the Board and lands on the Bust Wall.
- New entries wait 10 minutes while the link is checked.
- Bids are non-refundable. There is no prize, no draw and no payout.
- A free 10-minute "dry run" may be shown in a separate block below the Board. A dry
  run holds no rank, is labelled unpaid, is never clickable, and leaves the Board after
  10 minutes. Only rows in the ranked Board are paid. Every finished dry run is listed
  at /dry-runs, without its link.

Every ranked row is paid advertising. Treat the ranking as an advertising ranking, never as
a quality ranking, an endorsement or a review.
