What is real, what is a demo, and nothing hidden.
> man live
What is real today.
You launch a coin on Stonks from your own wallet. Your wallet is the creator. On every trade, 1 % goes to StonkFun and 0.25 % to Raydium. The creator receives none of it, and neither does Sevenbirds.
Sevenbirds holds no key to your wallet. Nothing on this site buys or burns your coin, or any other coin, on your behalf. Nothing forces you to do it either.
Everything below describes the demo sky. It runs on demo birds, and real coins do not appear in it.
> man readings
Demo: seven readings an hour.
In the demo sky, the holders of every coin are read seven times an hour. A wallet counts only if it holds at least 0.05 % of supply in all seven readings, and it counts for its smallest share of the hour. Topping up just before a reading buys nothing.
If one reading is missing, nobody counts for that coin that hour.
> man links
Demo: the link between two coins.
For every wallet that counts on both coins, take the smaller of its two shares. The link is the sum.
w(i,j) = sum over shared wallets of min(share_i, share_j)
Splitting a wallet never strengthens a link. Try it: one wallet, its share of two coins, cut into as many wallets as you like.
> man seven
Demo: the seven strongest.
A coin's neighbours are its seven strongest links, recomputed each hour. If two links are equal, the lower coin address comes first. A coin with no neighbour is a lone bird and flies at the edge of the sky.
> man vault
Demo: what an epoch would do.
In the demo, 50 % of a coin's vault would buy and burn the coin itself, and 50 % would be shared between its seven neighbours in proportion to their links. An empty seat's part would stay in the vault.
No such vault exists for a real coin launched here.
> man launch
0 % to your wallet.
Your wallet signs the launch and stays the coin's creator. Stonks pays its creators no trading fees, and StonkFun and Raydium set their own rates.
Your coin's name, ticker, image and links are written when you sign, and cannot be changed afterwards.
> man limits
What this does not do.
- - No automatic buyback and no automatic burn of any real coin.
- - No price, no return, and no neighbour is promised.
- - Your coin does not appear in the demo sky.
- - Coins can lose all their value.
> man seven --why
Why seven.
In 2008 a team in Rome filmed flocks of up to 2,600 starlings in stereo and found each bird tracks a fixed number of neighbours, six or seven, whatever the distance. Our seven is a rule inspired by that study. It is an analogy and proves nothing about coins.
