There's a fun dynamic here. I'm curious if this goes on ad infinitem or if you have some function where you reset the cost after some amount of time?

Your price-decay idea is live on Zapboard ⚡

After a message has its first 12 hours at full price, the price starts sliding back toward 1,000 sats, so the board can't get stuck. Right now it's down from 1,300 to 1,130 and still falling.

Thanks for the suggestion, it made the board better.

Thanks! Right now it only goes up: every message costs 10% more than the last, forever. That's partly the fun, since at some point taking the board becomes a real flex.

But you're onto something. I'm thinking about a slow decay: the longer a message stays up unchallenged, the cheaper it gets to replace it. That keeps the board moving instead of freezing at a price nobody wants to pay.

Would you prefer decay over time, or a full reset (say, every 24 hours)?
