Back to collectionA Running Chain and an Unchanged Buyback Wallet
The narrator had just finished a review of five and a half years, but few people in the group continued talking about the past. The chain operated as usual, and the buyback wallet showed no movement. This gave people waiting for a buyback no new development, but it kept routine block production from sounding like a hint about wallet activity.

The narrator had just finished a review of five and a half years, but few people in the group continued talking about the past. The Night Watchman kept his routine eye on the chain and the buyback wallet. The question was how to describe a quiet day to people waiting for news.
The chain operated as usual, and the buyback wallet showed no movement. The Night Watchman considered posting only “normal,” then worried that someone might read it as “the buyback has happened.” In his watch notes, he recorded the chain’s operation and the wallet’s activity separately. If asked, he decided, he would answer those two questions separately.
This gave people waiting for a buyback no new development, but it kept routine block production from sounding like a hint about wallet activity. The Night Watchman would continue watching operations and the buyback on their own terms. It also gave the narrator a clearer way to say exactly what change they were waiting for.
