The Odyssey final challenge had just begun, but minting the Pioneer avatar was already stuck. The Night Watchman, a longtime community member who helped answer questions, saw newcomers rushing to finish the day's task and growing unsure which entry point to use.
The Day 16 Pioneer avatar would not mint, and the page said it was being updated. Then another problem emerged: connecting a Twitter account before minting trapped users in a loop. The Night Watchman posted the correct minting address for newcomers, one message at a time, and urged them to avoid other links and stop treating repeated authorization attempts as a fix.
What first looked like a wait for a page update had become a problem with both access and authorization. He planned to report the two failures separately and guide newcomers back once officials explained the situation. There was still no answer for people who missed the Day 16 mint.
