After the group had discussed holding costs, the Buyback Report drew attention back to where the tokens went. When the Buyback Report appeared, the Night Watchman opened the burn receipt and found that one link led to the wrong page. The bad link would have sent readers astray during verification.

After the group had discussed holding costs, the Buyback Report drew attention back to where the tokens went. The Night Watchman usually checked a burn receipt before sharing it. The narrator was waiting for a version readers could trace for themselves.
When the Buyback Report appeared, the Night Watchman opened the burn receipt and found that one link led to the wrong page. He sent the corresponding transaction identifier to the editor and asked for the destination to be checked. The link was fixed that afternoon; he reopened the receipt, checked the amount, and only then shared it. The narrator received the corrected version.
The bad link would have sent readers astray during verification. Once corrected, the amount in the report had a traceable point of entry. The Night Watchman planned to add link checks to his sharing routine, and the editor had a step to check before the next publication. The report accounted for the listed buyback and burn; it offered no guarantee about future ones.
