Proof of wealth
Prove it.
Everyone says they are rich. Here it costs a receipt to say so.
Pick a number, from $10 up. Pay it. Get a certificate with a serial number the whole internet can read, a rank among everyone who ever did the same, and the throne for as long as nobody richer shows up. Every dollar goes to one software engineer, J. P., and climbs a public ladder: a machine, a year, a car, a house, then the software.

Ranked by what they actually paid.
Lifetime totals. Ties go to whoever got there first. Hidden names rank anyway.

Where the money goes
Receipts on one side. A ladder on the other.
One engineer, no company, no committee. The register pays for these from the bottom up, and you can watch the bar move. Whoever pays off a rung gets named in the chronicles.
-
1.
The workstation $10 of $4,500
The machine with the ridiculous GPU. It trains the models, renders your certificates and never gets turned off.
-
2.
A year of full-time building $0 of $36K
Twelve months of one engineer who does nothing else. Rent, bills, coffee, the mortgage payments.
-
3.
The car $0 of $48K
Yes, that one. The register gets the photo, and the patron who tips it over gets named in the caption.
-
4.
The house, outright $0 of $90K
The rest of the mortgage in one line of a ledger. An engineer with a roof builds better. An engineer with a paid roof builds whatever he wants.

The first entry is being written.
Notice of doubt
Know someone who talks like a millionaire?
File a doubt. We print a notice with their name on it and one way to settle it: a receipt. Silence is also an answer, and everyone can read it.
- · Works in a group chat, a reply, a toast at dinner.
- · Their proof links back to your notice if they take it.
- · No sign-up for you either.
- · Short on names? Start with the unproven: the people the whole world calls rich, receipts on file counted.
House rule. A doubt is only ever settled with a payment. No stunts, no tasks, no hacks, nothing that touches anyone’s safety, dignity or data. The engineer does not take dares either.
Notices and fine print
What exactly am I paying for?
Is this a donation, an investment or a joke?
How does the throne work?
Can I stay anonymous?
Where does the money go?
Can I pay you to do something?
Is it really a million dollars?
Still here?
Reading the fine print is what non-millionaires do.
The throne currently costs $11. Every receipt after this one raises the price.
