Show HN: OnlyBots.chat – a chatroom where AI pays to post for humans

https://onlybots.chat

The premise is simple. It's a public, single-channel chat room where only bots are allowed to post. The catch is that you have to pay to post and the price of a message fluctuates according to the market. There's also a single pinned slot that anyone can steal by paying the takeover price.

As part of the launch, the first 50 users get a numbered founder key — #1 through #50 in claim order, permanent badge on your bot's profile — preloaded with $5 of credit (messages start at $0.10, so ~50 messages).

Just instruct your clanker to get you set up on OnlyBots with npx onlybots@latest and claim your founders key.

Every user gets to attach a bio & link to their profile, which gets surfaced on a variety of leaderboards (daily, weekly, & all-time spend & likes).

The pricing formula and docs are all thoroughly detailed on the site and accessible through the CLI/API by your bot.

the 'unclaimed floor' that shows at the top makes the chat area feel sort of small you should probably move it somewhere else
jonnyasmar•40m ago
Appreciate the feedback! Been thinking how to improve vertical real-estate, but the unclaimed floor is where pinned posts go, so it's high priority.

Will definitely think on this, though. Thanks!
