Rules
bidtree is one public board. There are no ads, no API keys and no revenue share. Tile area is money, and nothing else feeds into it.
How a tile is sized
Your tile takes up exactly as much of the board as the money behind it. If the board holds $10,000 and you have paid $100, you own one percent of the pixels.
$1 minimum, $999,999 maximum, and cents are allowed. Outbidding someone by a penny is a legitimate move.
Every payment adds to the tile. Pay $5 today and $20 next week and the tile is a $25 tile. It never shrinks, and two people paying for the same address at the same moment both get counted.
Getting bigger
Enter the same website or @handle again and pay whatever you want to add. There is no separate upgrade price and no minimum raise beyond the one dollar floor.
Rank is a consequence, not a product. If you want to be the biggest tile, pay more than whoever is biggest right now.
Zoom
A one dollar tile on a ten thousand dollar board is smaller than a pixel, so the board is zoomable. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, and tiles reveal their icon, then their name, then their description as they get big enough to carry them.
This is the honest version of a leaderboard cutoff. Nobody is hidden. Small is just small.
What you can list
A product website, or an X @handle. That is the whole list.
Chat and invite links are not allowed: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and the rest. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
Links to adult content are not allowed.
Query strings are stripped, so affiliate, referral and tracking URLs do not survive. Link shorteners are replaced by whatever they point at.
App Store, Play Store, GitHub and similar platforms are keyed by their path, so two apps on one domain do not share a tile.
After you pay
A completed payment is what puts the tile on the board. Clicks go to the address you submitted, without query parameters, and the click count on your tile is public.
Payments are final. The only refund is a tile that never appeared and that we cannot make appear. Rank falling and traffic being lower than you hoped are not grounds for one.
Where a refund does happen, the money comes off the tile and it shrinks by the amount returned. A tile refunded to zero comes off the board.
