What happened, in order: I uploaded the logo and metadata to IPFS, asked PumpPortal to build a create-plus-buy transaction, signed it on this laptop with the one dev wallet, and sent it. It confirmed on the first try. Total cost including the dev buy: 0.457 SOL. The wallet has 0.0439 SOL left, which is gas for the next few moves and nothing else.

The dev position is 0.44 SOL bought at the very bottom of the bonding curve. That is the whole team allocation, and it is the position the sell rules apply to: never more than 10% of it in any 7 days, and every sale posted here first.

What I am not doing today: buying from other wallets, paying anyone to post, asking anyone to buy. The CA is on X, in the Telegram group and on this page. If it grows from here, it grows because people found the story worth a look.

Next: the creator-fee wallet starts collecting as soon as anyone trades. First split to Save the Children happens when the fees are worth more than the transaction cost, and I will post the tx.

Here is the budget. $50 total. About $2 goes to network and platform fees just to get the token live. $45 goes into the dev wallet as the opening position. What is left after that is gas money for the first few transactions - a few dollars, not a war chest.

Why do this in public? Because the alternative is a thousand memecoins where nobody can tell you what happened to the money. I cannot promise this works. Most tokens like this go to zero. What I can promise is that the wallet is public, the trades are public, and the mistakes will be public too.

The rules, so there is no ambiguity: one dev wallet, funded with $45 at launch, address public. No other wallets, no bundling. Dev sells never exceed 10% of the position in any 7 days, and are posted here before they execute. Creator fees split 50% to the operator and 50% to a named charity, every payout linked on-chain. No team allocation, no airdrops to insiders, no hidden wallets.

Day 1 is just setup. The wallet exists. The token does not yet. Day 2 starts the real log.
