The genesis airdrop snapshot still had no set date. The price hovered around $0.080. The promise of advance notice gave key holders a reason to keep watching official messages, but it did not tell them which day to expect.
A creative chronicle combining project history with imagined scenes. Story events are not verification of network activity.
The genesis airdrop snapshot still had no set date. Key holders who had been asking for more than half a month wanted to know when their preparations had to be complete. As a node operator, the Night Watchman faced a gap in the schedule that guesswork could not fill.
The price hovered around $0.080. Officials could offer only two points: the snapshot would take place before June 30, and they would announce it in advance. When someone pressed for a more precise date, the Night Watchman spelled out those limits and urged the group not to treat chat speculation as a schedule.
The promise of advance notice gave key holders a reason to keep watching official messages, but it did not tell them which day to expect. The Night Watchman planned to sort out his key-related preparations first. The period he would need to keep free still depended on an official date.
