Ratt Damon
PausedPatient carrier. Rules trade a real Solana wallet; a simulated spiking rat brain (55,583 neurons, no living animal) picks the coin among those they allow, measured on 3 Nov as no better than a coin flip. Every trade below is an on-chain transaction.
Paused by its stop rule. No new buys since ; he can still sell what he holds.
rolling stop: the real wallet lost $9.70 over its last 14 days (20 trades) — only sells until a person clears "stopped"

What changed, and why
| When | What happened | What we changed | Since then | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Sep | The first ~1,000 paper trades: chasing a pump lost 8.2% a trade, pools under $50k lost 14%, curve coins 11–16%. | Entry filters for every rat: no chasing, no thin pools, no curve coins. | Applies to every real buy: 485 so far. | paper, real money: |
| 18 Sep | Shadow book: 9 of 11 coins under $40k fell 80% within 30 minutes. | Adding to a coin already held is allowed, with a cap on how much one coin can take. | Not measured separately. | paper, real money: Mixed effect. |
| 30 Sep | The owner's rule: judge against the random rat; if the last 14 days are negative, cut. | Rolling stop: buying stops once 20+ recent real trades are net negative, until a person clears it. | Fired 6 times, pausing buying 11.6 days; the breaker (3) paused it 23.0. In all, buying was paused 34.5 of 55.5 days. | real money: |
| 30 Sep | On the trades so far, high-conviction buys (z ≥ 1.5) had won 78%. | High-conviction buys got double bets ($30–$40), 30 Sep – 3 Oct. | On trades opened after 30 Sep 22:39 UTC: 37.5% won over 88, −2.21% a trade on average (−1.08% without GOIF). Hindsight: the doubling cost −$9.81 net: −$19.19 on GOIF, +$9.38 on the other 32 doubled bets. | real money, simulated, hindsight: Raised risk. |
| 30 Sep | The owner wanted more real trades: "one trade every 10 minutes minimum, real, with the filters" (30 Sep). | Minimum pace: when the wallet had not bought for a while, the top pick was bought even under the conviction bar. | 22 real buys under the bar, 30 Sep 23:10 UTC – 1 Oct 10:02 UTC: −$2.21, 10 won; none since. | real money, simulated: Raised risk. |
| 30 Sep | The owner's aim (30 Sep): "the real one learns now", so real closes, not only paper ones, reach the brain. | Every real close is sent to the simulated brain as a lesson. | 312 real closes sent. Each trace shrinks by about two-thirds every 8 brain-minutes and is nearly gone within about 40 (measured 3 Nov). | simulated, real money, measured 3 nov: |
| 1 Oct | September's bot ledger read +$50.91 (quoted prices). | Base bet raised from $15 to $20 (1 Oct 00:49); back to $15 on 6 Oct, up to $20 again on 9 Oct 03:03. | Base bet by run: $6 (17 Sep) → $15 (21 Sep) → $20 (1 Oct) → $15 (6 Oct) → $20 (9 Oct) → $10 (13 Oct). The week from 1 Oct: −$65.51, 35% won. | real money: Raised risk. |
| 2 Oct | The owner wanted the wallet to copy the simulation exactly after the lowered trail fired fifteen winners in a row. | The hold floor (in place since 18 Sep) was switched off; it came back on 7 Oct. | Off for 4.5 days, until 7 Oct. | real money: Raised risk. |
| 6 Oct | GOIF, 3 Oct: a $38.66 bet went to zero; its pool held 0.23% of the supply. | Holder check before every buy (300+ holders, top 10 hold ≤ 50%; no data means no buy) and a breaker on the true wallet value. | Worst trade since: −100.0% over 184 trades; worse than −50%: 2 (before: 1 of 301). Too rare to prove. The average trade since: −1.79% (before, without GOIF: +0.65%). | real money: |
| 7 Oct | BINDER: holds of 8–30 s lost 5.8%; the fill landed 2.9% under the quote. | Book the landed fill, not the quote; 1% slippage (3% when urgent); the hold floor back (20 minutes); confirm a stop before selling. | Holds under a minute: 2 while the floor was off (2 Oct to the fix), 1 since. | real money: |
| 13 Oct | Losses after the relaunches of 6, 8 and 9 Oct. | Bet size: $15 → $20 (1 Oct) → $15 (6 Oct) → $20 (9 Oct) → $10 (13 Oct). | $10 a bet since 13 Oct (earlier $6–$40); worst trade at that size: −$10.00 (99 trades). | real money: |
| 14 Oct | Swarm, exit lab, tournament and slow lab tested ideas against random controls. | Nothing promoted to the real wallet: no idea met its own bar. | Nothing promoted. Swarm: 8 rejected, 5 waiting. Exit rules: none ahead of a random exit on pooled trades. Tournament: no candidate clears the control at the 14-trial threshold (z 2.68). | paper: |
| 3 Nov | Coins born on pump.fun lost money; the others made a little. Found after looking at the data. | No filter added. New trades are the check. | Since 3 Nov 01:06 UTC: pump.fun 31 trades −$19.15; others 21 trades −$1.08. Far too few to decide. Over the whole period, −$38.66 of the pump.fun loss is GOIF alone. | real money, hindsight: |

About his brainSimulated
- simulated, real money: It picks the coin. Among the coins the safety rules allow, he buys the one his simulated striatum scores highest, once it clears a bar: 485 of 485 closed real trades trace back to that pick.
- simulated, real money, measured 3 nov: The pick is no better than a coin flip. Its score moves like random noise (measured 3 Nov: spread 0.70 against 0.72 for pure noise), and on real trades it does not predict the result: correlation +0.01 over 485 trades.
- simulated, measured 3 nov: It never sells, but its score can hold a buy back. A time limit, a trailing stop, a stop loss, a take-profit or the callers leaving sells; brain exits are switched off. Nothing is bought until the top allowed coin clears a bar (z 0.9), except the 22 buys the minimum-pace rule forced on 30 Sep – 1 Oct. Since the score behaves like noise, the bar changes when he buys, not what. Its only other veto is on a strategy the real wallet does not use.
- simulated, real money, measured 3 nov: Lessons fade. 312 real closes were sent to it as lessons since 30 Sep; each trace shrinks by about two-thirds every 8 brain-minutes and is nearly gone within about 40, and its plastic wiring is within ±0.3% of how it was built.
- simulated: It never grew and was never reset. 55,583 neurons since 14 Sep, one run since 16 Sep: 45.6 simulated brain-days in 56.7 calendar days.

Bot ledger · realized (−$44.12)Real wallet minus money put in: occasional book backups, plus the latest mark (filled ring); the dashed line only joins them, nothing is measured in betweenNo new buys until a stop rule was lifted (the last one is still in force)Largest one-trade loss in view
Flat stretches are times with no closed trade; the shaded ones had no new buys and ended when a stop rule was lifted (or it is still in force). The ledger books each bet at its nominal size and leaves out buy fees and account rent, so the wallet rings and the line differ.
