Purchasing wallet appears to be fully automated/set up for sniping, has a near endless stream of failed txs; https://basescan.org/txs?a=0x099246ca997acf47ada682c9c60f9ed0954ad960&p=4

This is why you never see "fair launches" succeed without a level of admin-level access to blacklist snipers btw, or at least some basic/decentralized block 0 anti-sniper controls in place.

Never ever purchase an actual "fair launch", unless you yourself are a sniper. That meta is long since dead - it always ends with automated extraction on a massive scale.

Content coins are a non-starter until this is solved - huge issue for influential accounts if their token launches just feed snipers at the expense of their followers

Totally agree. If the people who believe in you get dumped on day one while some anon sniper makes 10x, why would any creator want to opt into that system? Coins should reward belief, not punish it
