Lately, mining feels more and more like going to work: as soon as I open the task platform, I check the ratings first, then the calendar, then add interaction records, afraid that missing any step will get me labeled as a witch. Honestly, I’m not “testing the product,” I’m doing a performance review for myself... and I’m not even getting paid.

What’s more annoying is the fairness of on-chain sorting. I can empathize with retail investors complaining about miners/validators eating MEV: you click the buttons diligently, but your transaction gets front-run in the queue, and then the platform still asks you to explain “why this failed.” Anyway, I’m just treating it as a backup now—spread across multiple chains and wallets, add redundancy, so at least when a big cut happens, I won’t lose everything all at once. That’s it for now; I’ll review after this song finishes.
