how ranking works and the logs

comments are users' opinions. the site doesn't write, edit or feature them, and removes only by category. each one is signed anon · and a 4-character tag that stays the same within one thread and can't be linked across threads. there are no links, images or formatting; a tx signature can be attached and is checked to involve the card's wallets. a comment's author can delete it within 10 minutes; nobody can edit one.

the exact formula comments, best: the Wilson lower bound of up / (up + down) with z = 1.281 (80% confidence), 0 with no votes, ties to the newer comment. comments, top: up − down, ties to the newer comment. comments, new: newest first. comments, controversial: 0 if up = 0 or down = 0, otherwise (up + down) ^ (min(up, down) / max(up, down)).

votes are opinions; the on-chain side is a record. in simulations of a public consensus-rating algorithm, a coordinated 5 to 19% of raters could swing results, so votes get their own counts, burst exclusions and integrity line, and the on-chain numbers sit apart, inside each card, as reference. no score mixes the two.

the vote candles are visitors' votes: one per UTC day (14 days on each row, 30 in an opened card), each a day of the card's net votes. it opens where the day before closed, its wick reaches up by that day's follows and down by its fades and avoids, and its body is the day's net: teal and filled when up, amber and hollow when down, on a solid line at zero. the last close is the card's net. they are anonymous clicks, not price data: they can be farmed, and vote bursts count only when you include them. the price candles inside each opened card's on-chain box are on-chain: one per launch or call, from a follower's entry, green above and red below, with a dashed entry line. they are reference only and never move a rank; no number mixes the two.

the votes are visitors' opinions, counted. nobody connects a wallet or signs anything: one device, one vote, bot-checked. anonymous votes can be brigaded, so vote bursts are marked and left out by default, each card shows how many were left out, and the on-chain side never moves. a cleared browser or a new network gets a new vote, so the counts are a signal of what visitors clicked, not a census of people.

the rank is net votes: follows minus fades minus avoids, counting only votes outside vote bursts unless you switch bursts on. ties go to the card with more votes, then the one listed earlier, then a fixed id order. a card gets a rank number from its first vote; until then it says 'no votes yet'. the feed has three orders: hot, new and top. none of them changes a rank number. hot: net votes on a log scale plus how recently it was posted, so a new post with a few votes can pass an old one with many. new: newest first. top: most net votes today, in 7 days or all time (UTC days), counting the votes outside vote bursts. there is no operator pinning, featuring or boosting; starter picks start at 0 like everyone. these are the only orders.

the exact formula net votes: counted follow − fade − avoid; with vote bursts included, the votes inside vote bursts are added. hot (log of net plus time): sign(n) · log10(max(|n|, 1)) + the posting time in seconds ÷ 45000, with n the net votes, so 12.5 hours of posting time weigh as much as ten times the net; the starter picks and the cards measured before the board opened share the time they were added together. new: the latest post first. top: the counted net of today's UTC day, of the last 7 UTC days, or of all time. ties in every order follow the rank order. this coin's dev is shown on the feed but left out of the rank. on-chain medians, inside each card, need at least 5 closed past the window and never enter a rank. grades and comment votes inside a vote burst, and comments inside a comment burst, are left out unless you include vote bursts.

one of the devs and KOLs the board started with, picked from public community sources. a starter pick starts at 0 votes and is never pinned. an account is shown next to it only when two independent sources agree or its pump.fun profile names it.

anyone can post a dev or kol by typing a name or @handle and pasting a wallet. the checker bot confirms the wallet has pump.fun activity; nobody checks that the name belongs to that wallet. reports for personal info or for pretending to be someone hide a visitor's name quickly.

a stretch of votes on one card that arrives much faster than usual, mostly from new browsers or from one network, is marked as a vote burst. votes past a card's daily cap are marked too, and a moderator can mark or unmark a stretch (each one is logged in the corrections log). votes in a burst stay visible but are left out of the counts and the rank unless you include vote bursts. each opened card shows how many votes were left out, and how many of its votes come from browsers that voted on no other card.

a peer-reviewed study of 35,569 influencer posts (2021-22) found named coins averaged +1.8% after a day and −6.5% after thirty. one window flatters; four show the shape.

a peak-only number floors everything at 1.0×, so a call can never print a loss. each receipt prints it once, labelled; no figure here uses it.

one creator wallet can hide a launcher who rotates wallets. wallets are linked by funding within 2 hops, with exchange and bridge funders filtered so strangers don't merge. when the filter misses one, the corrections log says so.

why anyone did anything, whether a post was paid, or who owns a wallet. same slot does not prove same owner: bots buy in the create slot too. graduation can be bought, so each one says bought at launch or reached after.
