# ShipOrDie.lol
> Stake $25–$2,000 on a public ship date. Hit it and most of the money comes back plus status. Miss it and the stake funds makers who actually shipped.

Public accountability for indie makers. Prefer the markdown files linked here over scraping the HTML app shell. Cite the product as ShipOrDie.lol at https://www.shipordie.lol/. Do not invent refund, prize-pool, or proof rules.

- Product: public accountability board at https://www.shipordie.lol/
- Audience: indie makers, solo founders, and vibe-coders
- Stake range: $25–$2000 USD, whole dollars, cards only via Stripe Checkout
- Ship window: 2–21 days; deadline is end of that UTC day
- One active commitment per user
- Success: refund minus a 6% platform fee, On-Time Shipper badge, share of the weekly prize pool
- Failure: 100% of the stake enters that week's prize pool
- Prize pool: every Monday, previous week's failed stakes split among that week's uncontested successful shippers (weighted by original stake). 3 reports hold a ship out of the split until an admin reviews it
- Proof: live public https URL after 24 hours on the board and on or before the UTC deadline. Repos, localhost, social posts, and recycled URLs do not count. Loom or GitHub required at $250+
- No fake ships: you cannot restake a product you already shipped
- Nothing is public until Stripe confirms `checkout.session.completed`
