Questions about ShipOrDie

Full rules
How much can I stake?

Stakes are $25–$2000 in whole US dollars, paid in full up front through Stripe Checkout. Cards only. Nothing is public until Stripe confirms payment.

How long is the ship window?

The target date must be 2–21 days from now. The deadline is the end of that UTC day. You may have only one active commitment at a time.

What happens if I ship on time?

The stake is refunded minus a 6% platform fee. You get a permanent On-Time Shipper badge and a slice of that week's prize pool.

What happens if I miss the ship date?

The full stake goes into the weekly prize pool and your on-time streak dies. There is no partial credit after the UTC deadline.
