A 50,000-Key Cap Clarifies the Plan but Leaves Trust Unsettled

With the tokenomics and Sentry sale details newly released, the community shifted from asking “when does it go on sale?” In response to repeated questions, officials said there would be 50,000 keys in total, with a fixed cap. The supply of keys and the fate of testnet efforts had clearer answers, but the argument continued.

With the tokenomics and Sentry sale details newly released, the community shifted from asking “when does it go on sale?” to “what exactly are we buying?” The Night Watchman was still studying the nodes, while speculation about price and rewards moved faster than practical questions in the group.

In response to repeated questions, officials said there would be 50,000 keys in total, with a fixed cap. Rewards accumulated during the testnet could carry over when mainnet launched, and the nodes could continue as well. Someone called the project a scam outright. Officials replied that people could say plainly if they disliked the tokenomics, but should not spread fear. The Night Watchman explained the quantity and the carryover terms separately so nobody would mistake a future transfer for rewards already received.

The supply of keys and the fate of testnet efforts had clearer answers, but the argument continued. The Night Watchman planned to keep reading the operating instructions before deciding whether participation suited him. Whether critics would accept the reply, and how the carryover would work in practice, still depended on later arrangements.
