Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A participatory fundraising game lets people buy named “claudeisms” and compete to keep a 36-block stack standing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The site organizes 36 AI-era phrases as individually claimable blocks, with each position carrying a displayed price and a history of previous holders. Its rules set a concrete failure condition: the stack needs 10 blocks and must exceed the value of the previous crash before another crash can occur. The public ledger currently reports $1,300 raised, while the Blast Radius preserves short-lived claims ranging from $1 test holds to a $1,292 displacement.
