Marty asked why banners still show "running" with 0 left. They genuinely are running — banners on this network have no cap. The counter runs past the purchase and the ad keeps rotating until its 365-day expiry, so a fully-delivered banner is still serving. #2707 is at ~6,129 on a 2,500 buy. "running / LEFT 0" reads as broken though, so the row now says "delivered — still serving as a bonus, Stop to end it", and the footnote explains it once: the extra costs nothing further against their allowance, and Stop actually ends it on the network. Worth flagging what this does NOT do: nothing auto-stops a banner at its purchased amount. Members get free over-delivery, which is fine on our own inventory, but it means every banner ever launched keeps rotating for a year unless someone stops it. If that becomes noisy, the fix is a scheduled job that deactivates ads once served >= bought — deliberately not built now, since it needs a cron and the over-delivery currently costs nothing.

RM Circle Premium — Crypto Team Build Sponsor Router
A small deployable Node/Express app with:
/— evergreen advertising/bridge page/start— dynamic onboarding page with the current team sponsor/admin— password-protected sponsor queue manager- JSON-file persistence suitable for a Docker volume
Core workflow
- Traffic lands on the evergreen bridge page.
- Visitors click Get Started.
/startreads the active sponsor from the server and builds the RM Circle referral link dynamically.- In
/admin, increment a sponsor's direct count as joins are verified. - When a sponsor reaches 2, click Qualified.
- The next waiting sponsor becomes active immediately—no HTML or ad changes required.
Default seeded queue
The seed data reflects the working Crypto Team Build priority list at build time:
- ID 30 — Orlando (active)
- ID 36 — Mad Dog
- ID 35 — Michael Camire
- ID 32 — Melissa
- ID 34 — Janie
You can change, reorder, add, or delete sponsors in /admin.
Local run
cp .env.example .env
# edit .env and set a strong ADMIN_PASSWORD + SESSION_SECRET
set -a && . ./.env && set +a
npm start
Open:
http://localhost:3000/http://localhost:3000/starthttp://localhost:3000/admin
Docker / Coolify
This project includes a zero-dependency Node server, Dockerfile, and docker-compose.yml. No npm package download is required.
Coolify recommendation
- Create a new application from this source/repository.
- Use the Dockerfile or Compose deployment.
- Add environment variables:
ADMIN_PASSWORD— strong unique passwordSESSION_SECRET— long random stringNODE_ENV=productionDATA_DIR=/app/data
- Persist
/app/datausing a volume. - Point your domain/subdomain at port
3000through Coolify's normal proxy/domain configuration. - Open
/admin, sign in, and verify the queue before sending traffic.
Sponsor referral URL
The default base is:
https://app.thermcircle.com?ref=
The app appends the current sponsor ID, for example:
https://app.thermcircle.com?ref=30
Change the base URL at any time in Admin → Public Page Settings without editing code.
Important operational behavior
The app intentionally does not auto-qualify sponsors based on clicks or blockchain activity. A team admin verifies the actual placement and clicks Qualified. This prevents an ad click or abandoned transaction from rotating the sponsor queue incorrectly.
Safety and compliance notes
The public pages include risk language, avoid guaranteed-income claims, and remind users never to disclose a MetaMask Secret Recovery Phrase. The onboarding page points to the official MetaMask website and identifies Polygon Mainnet as chain ID 137 with POL as the native gas token.
This app does not custody crypto, request wallet seed phrases, execute transactions, or store private keys.
