Monday brought no new announcement, but the Sentry key sale was drawing closer. Earlier in the month, a member had said the node's Telegram group had more than 6,000 people. The Night Watchman now saw newcomers still asking about the basic rules.
One member took the group's size as proof that the sale would draw attention; another worried that questions would disappear in the chat. The Night Watchman stopped guessing how fast keys might sell and instead separated two commonly confused questions: whether the software could be downloaded for free, and whether someone without a key could earn rewards. He asked people to say first whether they only wanted to try running it or intended to buy a license.
The community no longer doubted that the sale would attract interest. The immediate challenge was helping newcomers understand the conditions for taking part. The Night Watchman planned to keep organizing answers around their questions. A group of more than 6,000 said nothing about how many would buy, or how orderly sale day would be.
