Adding salt to boiled peanuts; when is best?

When do u add the salt? In the beginning of the directions it says to add salt, but 2/3 way down it says not to be tempted to add salt before peanuts are soft?

Also, I do not eat these but I wanted to make some with a 1 to 4 hour boiling window. How do I know they are cooked?
