Lately, earning testnet points has been a bit frustrating. It was originally just for practice and to see what on-chain interactions look like, but once the airdrop season arrived, I started thinking, "Did I miss something?" and my mindset completely shifted. The task platform keeps shouting about anti-snipe measures every day, making it feel like clocking in at work, and the competition has become pointless.
I set a rule for myself: only treat it as practice fees. Whenever I start thinking about "how many times I need to do it each day" or "should I open another account," I stop immediately. Honestly, practice should help me become more familiar with the process and risks, not make me treat time as chips betting on unknown rules. Points and such, when rules change, are like proposal parameter adjustments—what really matters are the execution details. That's how I’ll handle it for now.
