The free samples from the kitchen is over. Here's what the paid game looks like.
Two curves run in opposite directions, and they're both fixed in the contract forever.
The price climbs. 0.001 ETH starting at #501, 0.00125 by #1,000, 0.0023 by #2,500, 0.0065 by #5,000, 0.05 by #10,000. Slowly, every single order, no jumps.
The split flips. Right now the kitchen keeps 90% to keep the lights on and 10% goes in the jar. That reverses on the way as business picks up: 86/14 at #1,000, 75/25 at #2,500, 57/43 at #5,000, and 20/80 by #10,000. Past roughly #5,900 more of every order goes to the jar than to the kitchen.
The jar pays trade-ins. Every hashbrown mined for ETH carries 80% of what it cost, fixed forever, travelling with the token. 0.0008 starting at #501, 0.001 at #1,000, 0.005 at #5,000, 0.04 at #10,000. Send it back, take the trade-in, it burns.
The jar needs ten times a trade-in on hand before it pays one so a rush slows it down instead of emptying it.
By #10,000 an order puts in exactly what its own trade-in is worth.
