Back to collectionA Monthly Low and Tasks That Would Not Verify
The postelection rally had yet to reach XAI, while players working through Vanguard tasks faced a more immediate obstacle. XAI touched 0.167 intraday, its low for the month and roughly 90% below the March high. The price and the task failure together made it harder for participants to decide how much effort to keep spending.

The postelection rally had yet to reach XAI, while players working through Vanguard tasks faced a more immediate obstacle. The platform would not verify their work, and the leaderboard had stopped updating. Some worried that the time they spent would not count.
XAI touched 0.167 intraday, its low for the month and roughly 90% below the March high. Task verification had failed for two consecutive days, and the leaderboard remained frozen. One player tried for three hours, swore, and went to bed. In the group, someone suggested keeping a record of completed tasks to check once the platform recovered.
The price and the task failure together made it harder for participants to decide how much effort to keep spending. That player chose to stop for the day and check tomorrow whether verification worked before attempting more tasks. No one could yet say whether the leaderboard would properly reflect those two days of attempts.
