Minting is one thing.
Standing in line
is another.

Held, not burned. Sell below the line and your bum goes dark until you top it back up. Nothing you already earned is lost.

There is no whale discount. Every extra bum costs more token than the one before it.

The check runs against your balance each time the pool pays out, so a bum that was activated and then emptied stops earning by itself.

Activation follows the token, the bag does not. A buyer proves their own hold before the bum earns again.
