The Night Watchman was a longtime community member who operated a Sentry node. Pool rules and the approaching halving brought newcomers to him with questions about running their nodes, while he was also weighing how long he could sustain his own routine.
On Saturday, he posted to mark the halfway point of his plan for a full year of node attendance. Someone wanted to follow his schedule. He urged them first to consider whether they could keep watching their node and whom they would ask for help if it failed. The attendance goal was a promise to himself, not a return strategy for everyone.
The post showed him how easily personal persistence could be taken as operating advice. He planned to write down his routine checks and what to do when he needed to step away, then discuss them with operators he knew. Whether anyone could arrange mutual cover remained unanswered.
