send oneTHE CARD / WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Someone you know financially supported a terrible idea.
The card you saw says I financially supported a terrible idea, plus a penny number. It is real. The person who shared it sent money to Chris, an individual on the internet who is asking everyone on Earth for one penny.
The math is the whole plan: about 8 billion people, one cent each, comes to $80,000,000. There is no product, no return and no second charge. Just a jar, a public ledger, and a man with very low expectations.
What the number means
Every confirmed payment is listed on the public ledger, newest first, with no names. Penny #12 is the twelfth payment ever made. The card is drawn on the payer's own phone or computer after checkout, so nobody else makes it, stores it or sees it unless they post it.
How to get one
Send a penny. After checkout you land on a thank you page with your own numbered card, ready to download or share. By card the minimum is 50 cents, because the card company will not move less; by PayPal a penny is a penny. The FAQ has the fee math, in public, because of course it does.
