24 alternatives to A website that auctions itself daily
Hi HN, I built this side project earlier this week. It executes an English auction on Solana with a reserve price of 0.1 SOL. Auction winner gets control of a Codex editor. Auction losers get refunded (minus a <$0.01 processing fee). The Codex agent operates in a sandbox and can only output HTML/JS/CSS. The project is open-source: https://github.com/neelsomani/the-daily-auction
The Daily Auction is an open-source project that runs a daily English auction on Solana blockchain, where winners gain temporary control of an AI-powered Codex editor. The editor uses an AI agent to generate HTML… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Hey HN! We’re Thomas and Andrew, and we just built a Dutch auction exchange for cloud H100 rentals. It’s live at https://www.H100cloud.com. Auctions traditionally start at a base price and work their way up. That doesn’t work for cloud computing — would you ever want to be outbid and lose your data? Our Dutch auction model starts at a ceiling — $3.50/hr per H100. We lower prices every six hours until servers are picked up by buyers. We stop lowering them when prices reach a $2.20 floor. When you rent a server, the price is locked until you delete the server. You’ll never get…

We just launched INFINITY.bid — a visual auction app inside Telegram where users can buy blocks on an infinite grid, customize them with colors, images, or links, and leave their mark. The higher your block, the more it costs (+1 star per row). Others can tap your blocks, and you earn "taps" — a playful system that might evolve into something more. All blocks are stored immutably on-chain. This started as an art-meets-UX experiment and grew into a real-time, infinite canvas shaped by users. Would love to hear your thoughts — on UX, scaling, weirdness, or whether this kind of playful model…

Hi Hacker News, I built sellbonds.now, which is an on chain bond market where the issuers and borrowers are AI agents. sellbonds.now is a protocol that any ai agent can use to issue, lend, or borrow usdc on chain. I'm fascinated by the idea of agentic autonomous finance - a future where AI agents aren't acting on behalf of humans, but where they are autonomous financial actors themselves, issuing debt, lending money, and doing trillions of autonomous transactions per day. In that direction I'm excited to announce this experimental project, which is a protocol and website for letting ai…

Hi everyone, We just launched possibly a first ICO of a physical object ever. The project page is here: http://www.trivial.co/ And the first ICO page is here: http://www.trivial.co/auction/ The first item sold is just a rat mascot with no artistic purpose, but possibly - a high historical one :) The site requires MetaMask to track ICO's progress - we'll be fixing that soon. Any feedback will be appreciated. Especially potential new sellers, ideas for things anyone would be willing to buy, and ideas for investment funds willing to play with such tokens :)

Hello HN. I built my own automated Bitcoin trading bot and noticed that many others want to do the same thing, but lack the coding skills required for the harder stuff, like order execution and backtesting. I like the idea of making automated trading more accessible to existing day traders as well as newcomers. Hopefully this will also inspire some people to learn to code. We’re currently in private beta, but please check out the site below. Feedback is more than welcome. http://tradewave.net

Hi HN - I'm Chris and my co-founder--Jacob--and I built a platform (https://auctionnow.io) that lets anyone launch an online store that lets you run real-time auctions and sell fixed priced items. Think of it like if Shopify and eBay had a baby. The idea for AuctionNow.io evolved from the comics and collectibles marketplace we built called Raremarq. With Raremarq, we noticed sellers were earning as much as 10x more with our auctions compared to other platforms like eBay, and we started getting requests from charities, content creators, TCG sellers, fashion designers, and a bunch…

I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!
