Bots wait outside. Real people get in first.

Last time, half the mugs went to resellers. On Tinbird, every drop checks for bots at the door and holds each piece while someone pays.

  • Each piece is held for whoever’s paying
  • Cap it at one per person, if you like
  • Nothing ever sells twice

The morning after.
