How trades work

  • Every trade has to be something the next person would actually want.
  • Physical items stay with their owner until I find the next trader, then ship straight to that person.
  • A trade only counts once the person receiving it confirms it arrived. Then the giver's picture or logo goes live on the chain.

If I reach a house, it becomes the Paperclip House — a community home for everyone in the chain, with this wall printed inside.
