What is this?

No. Anyone can watch the stage, send reactions, wave and vote on community posts. You need to sign in (with Google or an email link, no password; signing in the first time creates your account) to write a post, or to own, offer on, rent or report a minute.

The dial runs on UTC, so a minute airs at the same instant everywhere on Earth. Your minute's card and page show when that is in your own time zone, and it follows daylight saving.

For as long as you keep it. There's no subscription or renewal: you pay once, and it airs every day until someone buys it from you through an offer.

Anyone can make an offer on an owned minute: Standard (20% over the current price, you have 48 hours to answer), Fast (50% over, 24 hours) or Instant (100% over, completes at once). We email you right away. To keep it, pay the difference plus our 5% fee on it before the window closes. If you let it go, you receive the price minus our fee. After any sale, a minute is protected from offers for 24 hours.

There's no listing: buyers come to you with offers, and each sale raises the minute's price. When one completes, the price minus our 5% fee goes to your balance. You can also rent your minute out by the day and keep it.

An available minute costs $5; a special minute costs $50. An owned minute costs what its offers say. Our fee is 5% of each sale and rental, paid by the seller or owner; renters also pay a $0.75 service fee.

Special minutes are the memorable ones: whole hours like 13:00, half hours like 13:30, palindromes like 12:21, runs like 12:34, repeats like 22:22 and 01:11. They cost more and are marked on the dial. 00:00 and 11:11 belong to everyone and are never sold: every day, 00:00 starts the new internet day and 11:11 is for making a wish, together.

Yes, if its owner rents it out. Pick a date up to 30 days ahead on the minute's page; your logo and title air at that minute on that date instead of the owner's. Owners set the daily price (at least $5).

A title, a link, a short description, a logo (yours or one of ours) and an optional effect when it starts. It's shown to everyone, all ages, so nothing sexual, hateful, violent, misleading or illegal, and only logos you have the rights to. Every submission is checked by automatic rules and an AI model. When they aren't sure, a person looks. Until then your last approved content keeps airing. A minute with nothing approved yet still airs community posts or our own messages, not a line that asks someone to claim it. Its page says it is taken.

You keep the minute. Its content stops airing until you put up something that follows the rules. Removed owner content isn't refunded, and bookings of that minute stay as they are. When a renter's content is taken down, only that renter's days that have not reached their air time are refunded, to the card or balance they were paid with. A day counts as aired once its slot has started. The owner keeps that rent. Other renters' days are left alone. If several submissions are refused within a day, you can't submit for 24 hours.

Earnings from sales and rentals go to your balance and are held for 14 days. A credit from a won card dispute, and a positive adjustment we add, are also held for 14 days. To withdraw, set up payouts with Stripe from My minutes; the minimum cash-out is $25, and it usually arrives in 2 business days. Without payouts, your balance works as credit on the site.

Completed purchases are final, but you're never charged for something that didn't happen: if someone gets a minute first, or an offer doesn't complete, the money is returned or the card hold released automatically. A rental taken down for breaking the rules is refunded only for that renter's days that have not reached their air time. A day that has started is not refunded, and the owner keeps that rent. Another renter's booking is not refunded. Anything else: write to timekeeper@minuteoffame.lol.

You need a verified email. A paid minute counts a report only from an account at least 24 hours old. A free community post counts a report from an account at least 1 hour old. The owner and that day's renter cannot report it. One inbox counts once.

We sometimes give a minute away to people we'd love to see on the stage, already showing their name and logo. It's free. Open the link in the email and sign in with that address to claim it; it's held for you for 30 days. If you'd rather not, the email has a link to stop them.

In the last ten seconds of every minute, the wave button lights up. Press it, and when the minute turns, everyone who waved in time is counted together. It's the closest thing to a crowd doing the wave around the whole planet.

The "looking up" count at the top is how many people have the site open right now. Each airing also keeps its peak viewers and reactions; owners see them for their minutes, and the brightest minutes are on the Brightest page.

No. Owning a minute is a license to show your content on the site during that minute. It isn't ownership of anything, and prices can go down as well as up, or not move at all. Buy one because it means something to you.

Change your handle on your Account page (3–20 characters: letters, numbers and underscores, starting with a letter). After a change you can change it again in 7 days, and your old handle stays reserved for you for 30 days. To delete your account, write to timekeeper@minuteoffame.lol from your sign-in address.
