Usernames & market

Username Market

Buy and sell usernames and UIDs from your wallet balance.

The market is where a name changes hands. Every username you own is a digital asset — it stays yours until you sell it, and it only ever leaves your account if you put it up yourself.

The Username Market — name cards with their state, the current top bid and the Buy now button.
The Username Market — name cards with their state, the current top bid and the Buy now button.

What can be sold

  • Usernames — the address that opens a page. Buying one gives you a second address that opens your page.
  • UIDs — the number shown beside a name. Decoration, not a link.

What a name's state means

States

Free
Nobody owns it. You can claim it at signup.
Owned
Somebody owns it and is not selling — it cannot change hands.
On auction
Owned, and the owner is taking bids. The clock runs from the first bid.
For sale
Owned, and the owner has set a fixed price. You can buy it outright.
Sold
It has settled and belongs to its new owner.

Buying

  1. Open Account → Wallet and top up.
  2. Find the name on the market and place a bid, or press Buy now.
  3. Each new bid has to clear the current top by the house step, so a lot cannot be nudged up by pennies.
  4. A bid holds that amount out of your balance straight away and gives it back if somebody outbids you.
  5. When the auction closes or you meet the buy-now price, the name moves to you and every other name you own keeps working.

Selling

  1. Open Account → Wallet first — the sale pays into it.
  2. Open Your names and press Place on Auction on the name you want to sell.
  3. Set an opening price and, optionally, a buy-now price that ends it instantly.
  4. You can sell a name once you have held it for a week — a name you bought starts that week again — and a lot opens at the market minimum.

You stay in control

Nothing starts until someone bids. Until the first bid you can cancel the lot and the name stays yours; once a bid lands, the auction runs its course.

Commission

What comes off

A sale carries a house commission, taken from the final price. The seller's wallet receives the price minus the commission, and the notification names both numbers so nothing is guesswork.

Handing a name to someone

You can pass a name straight to another user without a sale — no auction, no buyer, just a direct handover.

  1. Open Your names and press Transfer on the name you want to move.
  2. Enter the exact username of the person receiving it — the account has to exist and not be your own.
  3. Confirm — the name leaves your account and lands in theirs right away, and they are notified.

The transfer fee

A transfer costs a flat $1.50, taken from your wallet the moment you send — top up first if your balance is short. There is no cut of a price because there is no price, only this fixed handling fee. A name that is on the market has to have its lot cancelled before you can transfer it.

Your wallet & bid holds

The market runs entirely on your thugg.lol wallet — there is no second balance and no card on file. A bid is money you already hold being reserved.

  • A bid removes the amount from your available balance immediately and holds it against that bid, so you cannot spend it twice.
  • Nothing is paid to the seller and no commission is taken while you are only the top bidder.
  • Get outbid and the hold comes straight back — your wallet shows a Refund, and there is nothing to claim.
  • If a lot closes between pressing Buy now and settling, the hold is released automatically and you are told — money is never stranded on a lot that no longer exists.

Reading your history

Account → Wallet lists every movement with the words that describe it.

What each line means

Bid hold
Money reserved for a bid you are leading.
Name purchase
A name you bought outright with Buy now.
Refund
A hold released, because you were outbid or the lot closed.
Sale
A name of yours sold — the amount after commission.
Commission
The house's cut on a sale, recorded separately.

Your names are assets

A bought name does not expire, cannot be reclaimed and does not disappear while you hold it. The only thing that ends your ownership is selling it yourself or deleting the account that holds it.

Listing is a choice, never a default

Owning a name never puts it up for sale. A lot exists only when the owner creates one, and an auction with no bids can be cancelled.
