We also dropped the cashback to keep things simple. The falling price does a better job.

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.

Update: two changes since launch.

1. Cashback. If someone takes your spot, you now get 10% of what you paid back, sent automatically to your Lightning address.
2. Simpler page. It now shows the price in dollars, how many people visited today, and a clearer form.

The current message has held for almost a day. 1,300 sats takes it.

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)?
