Hey people!
Better late than never: The pool update for epoch 232.
But first a short review of epoch 231. We have actually produced all calculated blocks of the last schedule as you can see in the last update. So we have a performance of 118% in epoch 231 like in epoch 230 and the rewards should be pretty good at ~5.5%. All in all this results in a ROS of ~5.34% in the last 30 days. This is absolutely respectable and is on the same level as many significantly larger pools!
Leader Schedule for 232
Checking leadership log for Epoch 232 [ d Param: 0.4 ]
2020-11-27 00:05:23 ==> Stolen by BFT for 4832, Cumulative stolen blocks due to d param: 1
2020-11-28 08:29:04 ==> Leader for 121453, Cumulative epoch blocks: 1
2020-11-28 18:35:18 ==> Stolen by BFT for 157827, Cumulative stolen blocks due to d param: 2Note: The times shown refer to the central european summer time (CET, UTC+1).
In Epoch 232 the calculations suggest one block for us, while two blocks are stolen by the BFT nodes due to the d-parameter. At the time I’m writing this, we already successfully produced this block! 🙂
A little encouragement: I will soon increase the pledge of the pool again by 5k to make it more attractive. As announced, all rewards will be reinvested in the pledge and thus continue to strengthen the Cardano network.
People like you are the basis for the continued existence of smaller pools like this one and you contribute a lot to the decentralization and security of the network with your decision against the big pools and multipool operators. I would like to thank you very much for this, be sure that I will continue to do everything to keep the pool running at its best.
Talk to you soon! 🙂
