Rules
wifibids.lol is a public auction for one real WiFi name. Rank is the bid. #1 is the SSID. Nothing else ranks you.
The live name
The highest all-time bid is broadcast as the WiFi name. When you take #1, nearby phones see your name in their Wi-Fi list. Lose #1 and your name leaves the air. It stays on the board until you raise or someone else climbs past it.
Bids
New names are whole US dollars, $5 minimum, $999,999 maximum, $1 at a time. Taking #1 costs $1 more than the current top bid. Paying less still puts you on the board at whatever rank that bid can take. Equal bids stay in the order they were placed — the older bid keeps the higher rank.
Raising
Enter the same WiFi name again to raise that listing. The new bid must be at least $1 above your current bid. You only pay the difference. Someone else cannot take your name by paying only that difference — they have to beat your total.
Today vs all-time
Today ranks what was spent in the last 24 hours. The live WiFi name is always the all-time #1, not the daily leader.
The name itself
WiFi names are 32 bytes, the same limit your router uses. No control characters. No slurs. Jokes, brands, and ads are the point. If a name cannot be set on a normal access point, it will be rejected.
What you are buying
You are not buying the router, the password, or internet access. You are buying the broadcast name until someone pays more. The network stays locked. Guests do not get on because they guessed the SSID.
