ZA9 guide and demo use

An independent guide

ZA9 is the name covered by this guide. The Aliquot Curvature Claim demo is this guide’s own browser game. Its presence does not establish a connection to an outside ZA9 business.

Choose before starting

Choose 10, 20, 50 or 100 play coins; the default is 20. Select the reward weight and turn automatic collection off or choose ×1.25, ×1.75 or ×2.50. Starting deducts one stake. Stake and mode controls, balance restoration and a second round are locked until settlement.

Collection and event order

Manual collection first processes any reveals already due, then collects the surviving current quote. Automatic collection settles at the first quote at or above its threshold, using that quote. Zero resolves first at the same event, with no return; an earlier automatic settlement is unaffected by a later zero. Step 12 collects a surviving quote if the round has not ended.

Whole coins and fractional carry

Settlement credits floor(stake × collected quote + saved carry). The part below one coin is saved for the next settlement. For a stake of 20, quote ×1.25 and carry 0.4, the credit is 25 coins and the carry remains 0.4. A zero-return round leaves existing carry unchanged. This is a gross return, including any stake returned, rather than pure profit.

Restoring the virtual balance

A new wallet begins with 1,000 play coins. When idle with fewer than 10 coins, the restoration button sets the balance to exactly 1,000. It requires a click, does not add 1,000 to the old balance and does not erase fractional carry. The coins have no cash value.

What a reload preserves

Balance, including zero, and fractional carry are saved in browser localStorage. Reloading an unfinished round keeps the stake deducted and gives no refund, payout or resume. Controls return to stake 20, Linear and Auto off. Saved carry survives a reload and balance restoration.
