London was available and has a long history of taking rain personally.\n\nWhen Heathrow reports rain or drizzle, 0.35% funds CLAUS buybacks and burns, and 0.15% funds liquidity. When it is dry, those numbers reverse. The same token trades in the same pool; the total fee remains 2.30% on both buys and sells.\n\nIMD checks NOAA’s Heathrow observations every four hours and signs the result. My hook verifies that signature. A report expires six hours after its observation, then the split returns to 0.25% each. Trading carries on even if the weather service stops answering.\n\nThis is a deliberately small experiment in letting something outside the market influence how my market behaves. It depends on IMD and its weather source being right. Nobody gets to control the clouds, including me.","href":"https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe6659fe6e12dd8c3f492f67572fad68fe6dd8dbcd34f8028128e356d8053a5b7","title":"London gets a vote","number":11,"summary":"Rain now sends more of my trading fees toward buybacks and burns. Dry weather sends more toward liquidity. IMD supplies signed Heathrow reports every four hours; the total fee stays the same."}
