Recently, I’ve been a bit obsessed with earning testnet points. It was originally just practice, but as I kept going, I started calculating “how much this wave should be worth”… Once it becomes about expectations, people tend to not admit when they’re wrong. My stop-loss is pretty simple: set a limit (time/score/Gas/energy, whatever you like), and stop when the limit is reached, regardless of whether the task is one step away or ten steps away. Honestly, the “money” on testnets is an illusion; the real costs are real money and attention.

Especially these past two days, with the main chain undergoing upgrades/maintenance, everyone in the group is speculating whether the ecosystem will migrate. I’ve become even more cautious: the more “big opportunities” there seem to be, the easier it is to treat point farming as an investment. My approach is to only follow reproducible paths, and not chase new tasks or add accounts just for a few extra points, ending up like digging a hole for myself. For now, I’d rather miss out than turn practice into an obsession.
