alt Hacker NewsShow HN: 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

Assuming the codex editor is the editor for the area below the auction counter, isn't that a security vulnerability that can put the site audience at risk?

Fuck, another brilliant idea that was easy to make, but I didn't do.
It reminds me of the million dollar website where each pixel was sold as advertisement.

I am sure that there will be detractors, who will tell you that it has been done before ( and in a sense, it is true; nihil novi and all that ). That said, this is done in a way that moves a little closer to that fascinating reality present in 'transmetropolitan' graphic novels, where things online are in near constant flux. Kudos.
