Today I was fooled by "on-chain data" again... Clearly, the transaction I just sent still shows no activity on some pages, almost thought I was stuck. Then I realized it's normal: the RPC you're connected to might be slow, the node is still syncing, and the indexer has to wait for it to fetch, store, and then send it to the front end. To put it simply, what you see is "the on-chain data organized by others," not the chain itself.
So now I open two or three more access points to compare: the built-in wallet, the block explorer, and an extra backup RPC. To avoid getting frustrated by delays.
By the way, I want to complain about that recent "attention as mining" scheme—social mining + fan tokens look lively, but when the data source delays or glitches, all your interactions look like air... A few days ago, I followed a bunch of accounts hoping to catch opportunities, but it was all emotional output and screenshot-driven hype. Today I unfollowed them directly—better to save gas than attention, for now.
