These past couple of days, I’ve been confused again by words like "data availability / ordering / finality," so I came up with a simple trick: first, draw a line—can others see what you’ve sent out (don’t hide the data), how to determine who comes first or last (don’t get front-run), and finally, whether this matter is settled (don’t roll back). Basically, these three steps, and all other terms are just packaging.

By the way, looking at social mining, fan tokens, and that set, they keep saying attention is like mining… I have some doubts. No matter how much attention there is, if the chain can’t record it properly / the order gets mixed up / it’s prone to failure at any time, isn’t that just mining in the air? I’m now more concerned about whether the rules will change or if I can review them later; otherwise, if the airdrop conditions change, I’ll have to go through the same pitfalls again.

Staring at these documents and dashboards for too long makes my eyes sore and my neck stiff. Anyway, I’ll take a break tonight and go mining again tomorrow.
