XAI had risen and retreated the previous day, but Night Watchman still had a node to tend. Many in the group discussed price; others were beginning to ask how long reward emissions would continue at the current rate. Neither question could be answered from that day’s market screen alone.
XAI moved back and forth around USD 1.20. Node rewards continued to be emitted as before, while total supply kept moving toward the halving threshold. After recording the day’s node activity, Night Watchman urged questioners to distinguish rewards being paid now from what would change when the threshold was reached. He pulled up the rules to check them himself.
Daily node operations continued, but the advancing supply meant operators could not simply carry forward old reward expectations. Night Watchman planned to examine the halving trigger separately from his node expenses, then discuss both with other operators. No one could yet say from this day’s information when the threshold would be reached.
