Back to collectionBadges Are Done; Reward Questions Remain
April began two weeks after XIP-1 passed, with rewards still a daily question in the community. XAI remained at $0.059. Keeping the node running could not deliver the rewards in the proposal on the foundation's behalf, and completed badge distribution did not establish when other rewards would arrive.

April began two weeks after XIP-1 passed, with rewards still a daily question in the community. The Night Watchman had long operated a node. He saw the demands in the group, but also had to decide what he could answer himself and what required an explanation from the foundation.
XAI remained at $0.059. Posts demanding rewards had piled up at the announcement channel, and the project's courteous answer was repeated: the Genesis commemorative badges had already been distributed, while the proposal was still in planning. Someone heard 'badges distributed' as 'all rewards settled.' The Night Watchman did not argue in the thread; he said the node would keep running, then clarified the distinction to members he knew.
Keeping the node running could not deliver the rewards in the proposal on the foundation's behalf, and completed badge distribution did not establish when other rewards would arrive. The Night Watchman decided to relay only confirmed status while on duty and leave timing questions for a formal explanation. Frustration in the group kept building.
