## FAQ

### Is ShipOrDie.lol the same as ship-or-die.com?

No. ship-or-die.com is a paid founder community with a 30-day ship-or-kick-out rule. ShipOrDie.lol is a public board: you pay a stake through Stripe, put a product on a UTC date, and the internet can watch. We are not affiliated.

### What is a StickK alternative for shipping a product?

StickK is a commitment contract for personal goals. If the goal is a live product URL in 2–21 days, ShipOrDie.lol is the closer fit: $25–$2000 paid up front, public countdown, we fetch the page, missers fund people who shipped.

### Do I need a community or a referee to stake?

No. Sign in, pay the stake, name the date. Friends can dare you onto the board with a link. That is an invite, not a bet. Watching is optional email, not a Discord.
