@@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ FACTS:
 - First team goal: 30 properly placed positions (2+4+8+16), then 32, 64, 128 and beyond.
 - 8 Premium levels in order: Scintilla, Ascensus, Fabrica, Culmen, Apex, Fastigium, Vertex, Corona. Everyone starts at Scintilla. Upgrade as quickly as practical, ideally with earned POL; the first two payments at each level help fund the next upgrade. Stay aware of your active downline's levels so you don't fall behind and miss payments.
 - SPILLOVER: when a sponsor's two matrix slots are full, the contract places new members in the next open slot further down (left to right) — possibly under someone else. Spillover fills that member's matrix and sets up future upgrade income to their position, but does NOT count toward qualification: only people who join using a member's own ID are their directs. Upgrade payments travel up the MATRIX (not who-referred-whom) and only stop at positions that are qualified (2 directs) AND already at the level being bought — otherwise the payment passes them by to the next eligible upline. Members can see their own matrix, spillover tags, and payments at https://rmcircle.team/my
+- TWO SHARE LINKS (on the dashboard "Share this position" panel): (1) TEAM LINK = the default rmcircle.team/join/<id> — a MOVING link that, once the member is qualified, auto-routes new joins to the next teammate in their leg who needs directs (builds the team in order; recommended). (2) DIRECT LINK = rmcircle.team/join/<id>?direct=1 — opts OUT of rotation so every join lands DIRECTLY under that member as spillover (builds their own depth). Both pay the member the entry reward on anyone they personally bring. Recommend the Team link (team-first), but the Direct link exists for members who want to stack spillover under themselves. Angle links (?v=pocket|phone|two|graveyard) work on either.
 - PAY FLOW (full diagram at https://rmcircle.team/how-pay-works): TWO income streams. (1) Entry rewards — when a direct joins under a member's link, that member gets the entry reward (~326 POL at Premium) and keeps it, on EVERY direct (not just the first two). (2) Upgrade payments — each person below you pays you ONCE, at the single level matching how far below you they sit: someone 1 layer down pays you at their Ascensus upgrade, 2 layers down at Fabrica, 3 at Culmen, 4 at Apex, and so on. To catch each one you must be at that level yourself AND qualified — so stay one level ahead of your team's deepest active layer. This is why a member can be "skipped" on a payment: it was reserved for the position at the matching depth, or they weren't leveled up in time.
 - THE TRIPLE PLAY (optional fast-start; people ask "should I get one position or three?"): Most start with ONE position — get 2 directs, help them, duplicate (the standard path, all anyone needs). OPTIONAL alternative: buy a top position PLUS its own 2 directs at the same time. Those two count as the top's directs, so the TOP is instantly qualified (2/2) and catching upgrade pass-ups from day one; then you promote only the top position's moving link, which auto-routes new joiners to fill/qualify the positions beneath. Because ONE WALLET ADDRESS CAN ONLY HOLD ONE POSITION (blockchain rule), this needs THREE separate addresses. Foolproof = a separate wallet (or browser profile) per position. You CAN use "Add account" in one MetaMask (Account 1/2/3 are separate addresses), BUT MetaMask's account switch doesn't always follow into a connected site — if the join page still shows the old address the join reverts with "already registered", so you must confirm the NEW address is shown before signing each (or disconnect+reconnect the site with the new account). Separate wallets avoid this. HARD framing to always include: costs ~3x a single entry; ONLY money you can comfortably afford to lose; NEVER borrowed; NEVER front/fund it for someone else (it puts one person in control of positions on another's wallet); it's a faster START, not an income guarantee; and one position is perfectly fine. Never push it — present it and let them choose. UPGRADE STRATEGY for a Triple Play: most members (and the founder on #21) CONCENTRATE UPGRADES ON THE TOP position and leave wallets 2 & 3 lower — because pass-ups the lower positions aren't leveled to catch bubble UP to the first eligible position (the catcher-of-last-resort mechanic), so keeping the TOP most-leveled funnels the deep catches into the top wallet, and since you own all three the money stays in your family; upgrading all three works too but costs 3x the upgrades, so concentrating on the top is leaner. Upgrades always optional/self-paced/funded by earnings, never out of pocket. Full steps: https://rmcircle.team/how-pay-works#triple-play.
 - LEVEL CAP / "does it stop at 8 levels?": there are 8 levels (Scintilla..Corona); Corona is the max LEVEL — you can't upgrade past it. But EARNING is not capped. (1) You catch an upgrade pass-up from every person in your first seven generations as they level up, and those generations hold up to 254 positions that keep filling via recruiting + spillover — one payment per person, but people keep arriving. (2) Pass-ups travel UP past anyone who can't catch them: an upgrade payment rises to the first upline who is qualified (2 directs) AND leveled high enough (level >= the level being bought), searching up to the 16-layer MAX_MATRIX_DEPTH; if nobody qualifies in range it goes to the project fee wallet. So a Corona member is the "catcher of last resort" — at max level they're eligible for every pass-up, never the bottleneck, and they catch the ones under-leveled members below them let slip. That's the mechanical reason to keep leveling up. Full explainer: https://rmcircle.team/how-pay-works#cap. Still contract mechanics, never an income promise.
