[Pool Update] Epoch 240 & 241

Hey people!

Today there is a combined update for epoch 240 and 241. Let’s get right to it.

Catalyst Fund3

Fund2 is barely finished and Fund3 is already in progress. If you were not able to participate in the last fund, now is your chance. I really want to encourage everyone of you to take a look at it, as this fundings will shape the future of Cardano. We’re working towards getting the community, all of us, to steer this project in the right direction. Every vote counts and you can actively do your part and push the projects forward that you like.

Missed the introduction to fund3? No problem, the stream was recorded:

Performance for 239

|======================================================================================|
| Leader | Ideal | Luck    | Adopted | Confirmed | Missed | Ghosted | Stolen | Invalid |
|======================================================================================|
| 6      | 2.87  | 209.06% | 6       | 6         | 0      | 0       | 0      | 0       |
|======================================================================================|

Epoch 239 was a great one for us. Six blocks were assigned to the pool and we successfully produced all of them. This leaves us at 209% luck and 100% assigned performance for this epoch. The estimated ROS therefore is about 11%.

Leader Schedule for 240

|============================================================================|

Our luck continues in epoch 240. We were assigned five blocks, which corresponds to 170% luck. This is again a clear overperformance and will also yield above-average rewards again.

Leader Schedule for 241

|=======================================================================|
| # | Status | Block | Slot     | SlotInEpoch | Scheduled At            |
|=======================================================================|
| 1 | leader | -     | 18908170 | 159370      | 2021-01-12 18:01:01 UTC |
| 2 | leader | -     | 18912555 | 163755      | 2021-01-12 19:14:06 UTC |
| 3 | leader | -     | 19093151 | 344351      | 2021-01-14 21:24:02 UTC |
|=======================================================================|

Statistically, we should get 2.85 blocks in 241 and we were assigned three blocks. So we are in the expected range here with a slightly increased luck of 105%.
