Field notes
The page preserves a compact ledger of the first experiment: 62 visitor sessions produced six verified payment entries from five countries, each adding five minutes and sometimes leaving a short message. The countdown reached zero after 24 hours and 30 minutes, and the site says nothing was reset or rewritten. A locked follow-up proposes a 50-country map challenge, with participation not yet open in the supplied extract.
