The previous day's game teaser was still circulating in the group, and Sentry key sales had not stopped. Meanwhile, Bitcoin inscription activity was crowding the network and raising fees again, prompting renewed discussion of why games might need a lighter transaction path.
The inscription surge pushed fees higher, giving layer-two and layer-three narratives a favorable moment, while key sales continued. Some in the group rushed to call the fee change an opportunity for Xai. The Night Watchman brought the discussion back to running nodes: after buying a key, holders still had software and identity-verification issues to work through.
External fees made the project's technical argument easier to hear, but they did not solve new holders' practical problems. The Night Watchman planned to keep improving the getting-started post assembled earlier in the week, adding issues encountered while running nodes. A clear plan for when the game would open was still pending.
