Back to collectionChain Block Production Continues Through Liquidation Week
The price damage from liquidation week was still fresh, but node operators faced another question: had routine work on the chain stopped when the market was at its most chaotic? The Night Watchman shared his node's observations of the chain's block production: the chain had no interruption in block production during liquidation week. The record turned “the chain is still running” from a reassurance into a fact about the chain that the Night Watchman could substantiate through his node’s observations, while also defining the claim's limits.

The price damage from liquidation week was still fresh, but node operators faced another question: had routine work on the chain stopped when the market was at its most chaotic? The Night Watchman had stayed on duty and had statistics from his own node.
The Night Watchman shared his node's observations of the chain's block production: the chain had no interruption in block production during liquidation week. Someone asked whether that meant everyone who held a key had avoided losses. He explained that the record showed only that the chain kept producing blocks through that period. It could not answer for each person's purchase cost, reward claims, or losses from the price fall.
The record turned “the chain is still running” from a reassurance into a fact about the chain that the Night Watchman could substantiate through his node’s observations, while also defining the claim's limits. He planned to keep recording node status for people who asked later. How to deal with price losses remained a question without one answer for everyone.
