Saturday trading was quiet, while supporters and opponents of the proposed key split continued to work from different calculations. As a longtime community member, the Night Watchman also watched whether Sentry nodes remained online.
The number of online Sentry nodes reached a three month high, an odd sight after the market’s decline.
