Opening the trading floor…
THE HOUSE RULES

Get rich.
Stay in business.

The richest founder still solvent at the closing bell wins. Company cash is not your score. Your personal stash is.

  1. Open deliberately. $10,000 capital, no income or bills until your first listing. Its 400 customers bring $40,000 of deposits you owe back.
  2. 0–10: build. Listings, levels, staff and repairs are instant purchases. Each coin has shared trading volume. Win a share, process it, earn your trading fee.
  3. 10–20: expand. Dirty jobs and leverage open. Train specialists, wash your dirty profits, or trade on your own exchange or a rival’s listed markets. Matching levels 3/4/6/8 unlock 2×/5×/10×/20×. A rival host earns your entry fee; trading on your own venue pays it to clearing. Your margin stays separate from the host’s money. Interrupted venues automatically settle positions.
  4. 20–30: compete. Hostile sabotage opens for everyone, including CPUs. Defence locks at launch. Successful attacks can divert 60% of actual departing customers, if the attacker has capacity.
  5. Protect your score. Only personal stash counts. Dividends use net earnings; dirty money must be washed. Discovery is checked continuously and restarting a job does not erase its earnings history. A scandal gives 60 seconds before elimination checks resume in the danger zone.
  6. Shared events. Every five minutes, answer one shared event. Coin volumes grow, shrink or rotate until the next event. Four founders share $5m/min baseline volume; 80% is available to player exchanges. The clock always continues.

Nothing pauses this round. Menus, hidden tabs and disconnects do not stop the server clock.

Cash: $0 for 30s → out. Unpaid withdrawals past the grace → out. Caught while regulator alert is in the danger zone → out, stash recovered. Loans: 30s grace after their deadline. At the bell: positions close, debts settle, unwashed dirty cash is worth nothing, insolvent founders are eliminated.

Scheduled rooms begin at :00 and :30. Practice runs start immediately with three labelled computer rivals who also use dirty jobs and sabotage. This preview runs on this computer; public hosting and account verification are not connected.
