Hey HN! I’m Marco the creator of this project. It’s a social experiment, whoever pays the most get his name on the front-page!

You can link your website and get visit :)

You could see it like a milliondollarhomepage v2.0

For any feedback pleas leave a comment :)

P.S. the profits will be donated to a charity organization

If I can kindly suggest, pick the charity and put “all proceeds will go to ___” on the page. It might save you some headaches later. Best of luck!

Or allow a selection of charities as people will have different areas of interest.

Definitely put a note up, though. My first thought when seeing this was a vivid image of someone laughing all the way to the bank.

Yes I will definitely add this feature! thanks! I've tried to add more social proof possible ! even link my twitter profile. I don't want to be a scam!

Is the charity organization called "My Bank Account"? Also, what do you mean by "profits". What are the expenses? After reading about hollywood accounting, I'm always suspicious about "profit".

When exactly?

As far as I can tell this is a never-ending contest, so are you donating the proceeds to charity on a rolling basis as soon as you receive them?

And are you donating 100% to charity, or using a portion to pay for the website/server/bandwidth/development costs?

Dang simple yet effective idea. Good job. Modern version of million dollar website I guess.

I always thought it would be an interesting gambling game where folks bid just like this site, but the prize is instead all of the previous bids.

So, if the bids are $1, $2, $3, $4, the $4 bid would win $10 (minus a % take for the house).

The more bids there are, the higher the return for the ultimate winner, so bids could get quite high once it gets going past the first 2 or 3 bids.

Good idea, but there is just no way I will put my card on random website, even though it's sent to Stripe :)
