I built a leaderboard where people pay real money for nothing

Hey HN

I made a tiny web experiment

You can pay real money to appear on a global leaderboard. There’s no prize, no perks, no rewards — just a flag with your country and a growing number next to your name.

Why? Because it’s hilarious, absurd, and curious to see how far people will go just to show off generosity for nothing.

It’s fully functional, secure via Stripe, and every donation counts. Just for fun, and completely transparent.

Would love feedback, questions, or just laughs.
