Questions
Beta. Stampede is in beta. Right now it runs on play money, so no real bill gets paid yet. Real payments come next.
What is Stampede?
A place to pay a stranger's bill. People post bills they're behind on, a person checks each one, and anyone can chip in and stamp it paid. Givers earn ranks and climb the Board.
Does the money go to the person?
No. Every payment goes to the biller: the electric company, the landlord, the hospital. Nobody can post a bill and pocket the money.
Who sees my bill?
Strangers see the type of bill, the amount, the city and your note. Never your name. The account details and the photo are encrypted, only reviewers can open them, and every look is logged. They're deleted 30 days after the bill is paid.
How do you know a bill is real?
A person reviews every bill and its private details before it goes up. Posters can add a photo of the bill, and reviewers see it next to what was typed.
Is it free to post a bill?
Yes. Posting a bill costs nothing.
Can I give without anyone knowing?
Yes. Turn on quiet giving and your stamps show up as "someone". They still count toward your own rank.
How do I sign in?
With Google. There's no password to remember. Sign in with Apple arrives with the iPhone app.
Is there an app?
Stampede for iPhone and Android is in testing now. Until then the website works on any phone, and you can add it to your home screen.
Is it real money yet?
Stampede is in beta. Right now it runs on play money, so no real bill gets paid yet. Real payments come next.
