The dispute over pool reward shares continued. The Night Watchman was more concerned with another question: as price fell, would Sentry operators keep their nodes online? Some in the group took the weak market as a sign that operators might pull back too.
XAI reached 0.85, but the number of Sentry nodes online did not fall. The Night Watchman observed that trading had weakened while on-chain operations were holding for now. He asked members to discuss the maintenance commitments they could actually sustain instead of guessing from price whether others would shut down. One operator said he would examine pool reward shares before deciding where to place his key.
The steady online count showed that operators were still running nodes that day; it did not settle the dispute over pool returns. The Night Watchman planned to keep watching their actual choices. If price pressure persisted, the way operators balanced maintenance costs against pool shares would become clearer over time.
