Marty asked why they start muted. Browsers only permit autoplay when a video
is muted, so "expand and play" necessarily meant "expand and play silently" —
and for these that is the wrong trade, because the narration IS the training.
A member's first visit was showing them a silent walkthrough.
So the panel now opens paused with the play button showing. Pressing it is a
user gesture, which means it plays with sound, every time. preload stays
'none' until the panel opens, then goes to 'metadata' so an open panel shows
a real first frame instead of a black rectangle.
Each bar now also carries its runtime ("· 71 sec"), so nobody has to guess
whether they are committing to one minute or ten.

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.
