Node operators were handling the move to GoldSky while watching the staking pool change. The Night Watchman had updated his own three machines, but working software did not mean others still wanted to keep funds in the pool.
Today, the total amount in the staking pool shrank for the eighth consecutive week. Someone in the group wanted to attribute it all to price. The Night Watchman pointed out that the total alone could not distinguish operating costs from reward expectations or holders' other plans, and asked the person to separate those questions.
A sustained decline could no longer be dismissed as a single week's fluctuation. The Night Watchman planned to gather common obstacles to node updates, then listen to holders' reasons for leaving, so technical problems and reward decisions would not be confused. Which factors mattered most remained unknown.
