A key was necessary for a Sentry node to accumulate rewards, and the community was asking what other hurdles remained. In the market, BTC was holding near a high as attention turned to a November ETF window. The Night Watchman was more concerned with whether he could meet the node rules himself.
BTC consolidated around USD 34,500, and market attention shifted to the November ETF window. The same day, the team stated that receiving rewards required identity verification and confirmation that the applicant was neither in the United States nor on a sanctions list. Even with a key, a node would accumulate no rewards if it was offline or lacked the required gas funds. Reading the conditions one by one, the Night Watchman realized that discussing the purchase price alone was nowhere near enough.
The reward rules now extended beyond buying a key and running software to identity, location, and continued operation. Prospective operators had to consider both eligibility and their ability to maintain a node. The Night Watchman planned to check how those requirements would fit his own circumstances; market expectations could not settle the practical questions for him.
