Show HN: TestiMoney – Pay to post messages that decay in real-time
- nykodev 9mo agoI built TestiMoney (https://testimoney.xyz https://testimoney.xyz) - a social experiment where posting costs money and your message's value decays over time. How it works: - Pay $10+ to post a 180-character message - Value decays 1-10%/hour (rate increases with viewer count) - Users can like/dislike to affect value (+/- 5%) - Super Likes ($1-50) add 100% of payment to value - Only 100 messages exist at once - lowest value gets archived Tech: Next.js, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets, Stripe The decay creates an interesting dynamic: popular times mean faster decay for everyone, creating natural pressure on the "market." I'm curious to see emergent behaviors - will people coordinate? Will whales dominate? Will anyone actually use this? Built this as a weekend project that got out of hand. Feedback welcome.
