I've launched 11 coins on pump.fun. 6 are alive, 5 are dead. Here's what I got wrong. Not selling anything. No link, no group, no ticker in this post. I just don't see many launchers post the losses, and I think that's why the same mistakes keep circling. Some context so you know where this is coming from. I launch under my real name and face. No creator allocation on any of them — no pre-mine, no dev supply. I've bought small amounts of a few of my own on the open market, same price as everyone else, after launch, and I'm still holding those. I've sold exactly once, on one coin, for about $50. On one launch I bought about $3 so the chart would render instead of reading "no data." I keep creator fees on and that's the whole business. I publish the address of every wallet I hold anything in, test wallets included. Never rugged one and never will. What killed the five: This is the big one. I'd build the coin, post the contract, and there'd be nine people there. A launch isn't a starting line. It's a moment where you spend an audience you already have, and if you don't have one, making the coin first is doing it backwards. Now nothing launches until there are real people in the room, and the coin gets made quietly beforehand so there's nothing to get in early on. The six still alive all have something attached — a site, a character, a bot in the chat, a free tool that works whether you hold the token or not. The dead ones were just a ticker. A ticker gives someone exactly one action to take and then nothing, and "nothing" is a short wait before they leave. When one died I took down its site and its T g group. That's the one I actually regret. It looked like hiding, and it erased the only proof I'd shown up at all. Dead ones stay up now. I got tired of eyeballing holder distribution so I built a scanner for holder concentration and fresh-wallet splitting. A lot of what looks like organic early interest is a handful of wallets funded from the same place an hour before. Run that on your own launch, not just other people's. It isn't. It's whether anyone is still talking in there on a Tuesday when nothing is happening. Every other definition is cope, mine included. Happy to answer anything, including the uncomfortable ones. And I'd genuinely rather read what killed yours.
