I think, you're beating yourself up too much. A couple of hiccups on the first day of potentially one of the best projects yet is no biggie in my book.
In any case, I just woke up (it is 8 a.m. in Germany) an hour ago and my two punks were there.

Thank you for explaining in details, so we all understand the intricacies behind Hive-Punks. It is interesting to see, how things work on the backend side. Never even thought of it, to be honest.

Have a nice weekend.
