Visitor notes

What people said after they sat down

These notes name the visit. They are not scores. One of them includes a wish for more time, which matches how the ninety minutes actually feel.

I brought the Phantom screen I had been afraid to open since a bad click in January. Jihoon had me read the recipient field out loud, character by character, before he would let the conversation move on. I left with the transfer still unsigned, which was the point, and with a paper list of the four lines I now check. The room was warmer than I expected and the chair is a bit low for a long sit.

Our office sent four of us. The printed preview used a fake mint address, so nobody was tempted to ‘just sign the real one.’ I still mix up a token account and the wallet address when I am tired. Hearing three other people hesitate on the same line helped more than another thread.

Daniel Okonkwo · Transaction-reading workshop, November 2025

I used the shelf on Thursday evenings after the orientation. The binder on approval prompts is the one I kept renewing in my head on the bus home. Staff never asked what my balance was.

Yuna Seo · Eight-week reading-room term, spring 2026

I wanted someone to tell me which validator to pick. Minseo refused that question and spent the hour on the staking-account screen instead: what the buttons change, and which signature would move control. I was annoyed for about ten minutes. Then I was grateful. I still chose the validator myself the next week.

The fee explanation was plain, and I wish we had reached priority fees earlier. We spent a long time on where a seed phrase lives in an apartment, which I needed, but the clock ran out before the second device. I have booked the extra twenty-five minutes for April rather than rushing it.

The workshop table where a paused transfer was read from a printout

A Thursday in October 2025

A paused transfer, read twice

A visitor arrived with a phone still on a Solana transfer she had not signed. The amount was a family remittance. The recipient field matched her sister’s address in the first and last characters and differed in the middle. She had compared only the ends on the subway.

Jihoon printed nothing from her phone. She read the full string from the preview while he wrote each group of four on the session sheet, then she compared that sheet with the address in her sister’s earlier message. They did not match. She declined the preview, asked her sister for a new address by a voice call, and built the transfer again the next morning from home.

She wrote afterward that the hour felt stern, and that she was glad nobody had offered to “fix it” by holding the phone. The chair was the same low one Hana later mentioned. We have since added a cushion; the reading habit stayed.
