Background: With the new year underway, Sentry Key holders were weighing staking alongside node operation. In the group, the Night Watchman kept seeing the same question: would the client still recognize a key once it entered a pool?
Today: Operators also wanted to know how rewards would reach them. Officials answered each question: the client would still recognize a staked key, but holders had to claim rewards themselves; the pool would not claim on their behalf. The Night Watchman began distinguishing client recognition from reward claims when replying.
Impact and next steps: Operators now had a practical distinction to follow. The Night Watchman realized that many people treated running a node and claiming rewards as a single process. He planned to ask where each person was stuck during the next round of questions. How holders with stolen wallets could claim rewards remained unresolved.
