On weekend on-call, I went and set the alarm to ring every two hours again—afraid that if I close my eyes, I’ll get the “the bridge got hacked + the oracle is acting up” package. The truth is, a lot of terms sound scary. Put simply, I just follow one thread: does the status you’re seeing actually count as “real”? Can the data be obtained (not only within some small circle), who’s supposed to be lining up (don’t let anyone pull the usual stunt and cut in line), and can the final outcome be confirmed (don’t say it’s settled and then go back on it). If these three things aren’t solid, then no matter how noisy it gets, it’s still like the alarm clock going off for show…

As for social mining, the whole fan-token setup, and that “attention is mining” thing—I treat it as just noisy notifications. First, I want to see whether the underlying logic clearly explains what “real” means. If it doesn’t, I’d rather not touch it.
