WinnowThe board.
In slot order. Struck slots keep their number, their wallet and their total, and they stay here.
Four of them.
Take a slot
A buy of 0.005 ETH or more takes the next free slot, in the order the chain saw it. There are three hundred and the three hundred and first buyer gets none.
Defend it
If your slot is still standing, buying again does not take a second one — it adds to that slot's total, which is the only thing keeping you off the bottom. If you have already been struck, a later buy takes a fresh slot while any remain.
The cull
Every 9,000 blocks, about fifteen minutes, the lowest-total eighth of the survivors is struck — at least one, and never so many that fewer than twenty-five would be left. Ties go to the earlier slot.
Struck is forever
A struck slot is never restored. It stays on the board with its address legible. At twenty-five survivors the culls stop and the board is sealed.
Slots, totals and every strike are replayed from the buy tape and the chain head on every boot — nothing about the outcome is stored.
Winnow pays nothing. It keeps the survivors and it keeps the struck.
$WINNOW
The board's token. Buying takes a slot, and buying again defends it.
Not a page.
The cull is still running though.
