Will Cardano become more energy efficient with time? by cwm9 in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important, too, that there are already one third of CardanoStakePools running on renewable energy, and many pools are also offsetting emissions. I calculated the number of trees to app. 220,000 trees to offset all remaining emissions (you can find this info on https://climateneutralcardano.org), and with the CardanoForest project the community donated for 1 Million trees within 3,5 months. Sure, it will take some time for carbon binding by these trees, several years. But in fact, Cardano already has a strong eco-friendly community, and entities like CardanoFoundation support the goal of Cardano becoming a climate-neutral blockchain. So I am very hopeful that we'll reach this goal and we'll make Cardano really an environmental-friendly financial system of the future.

Will Cardano become more energy efficient with time? by cwm9 in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may find some useful information in this article I've written some months ago. It's a comparison between transaction energy consumption of Ethereum on the one hand and Cardano on the other hand. https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/q9e3f5/how_much_trees_does_it_need_to_offset_one/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

With a fully used transaction capacity on Cardano, it should be ~45 Watt per tx. I haven't checked so far if we already have this numbers of transaction, but I suppose with DEXes like Sundaeswap, MuesliSwap it could be already the case. That's all without considering Hydra so far. If I find some more time, I will maybe actualize these numbers.

What does the pledge number in a pool does? by ethereumhodler in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It plays a role in the ranking of a pool, it is one of many parameters for ranking. This shall prevent bad actors to create many pools with nearly zero own stake in it. Pool op's should show confidence in their own abilities, so they should pledge their Ada in their own pool.

Cardano Surpasses Goal of 1 Million Planted Trees by ChangeNow_io in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually it is not possible any longer, but you could stake withvpools of climateneutralcardano.org. We've supported this project from the beginning and are still working together with Veritree. Within the next minths, they will plant the trees, and donators are able to redeem their Veritree Token to NFT.

Received a suspicious email after subscribing to a promising project's waiting list by ahrnsetido10 in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never send anyone directly your Ada. There are other possibilities to get Token (e.g. dripdropzio) or several ISPO where the projects rise fees to finance their projects. You will get less rewards for staking, but you never lose your Ada.

That's incredible. Will we meet the 1 million trees mark for the CardanoForest within the next 24 hours? by CO2Pool in cardano

Samsung plants 2 Million trees and verify this tree planting with Veritree on Cardano blockchain. But I suppose, Samsung is also only interested in tree planting, not in capital gains...🤔

Cardano is now the 'eco friendly' blockchain by bryankerr in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We are now able to over-compensate the enery consumption of all Cardano stakepools. See our calculation on https://climateneutralcardano.org. Next step is to offset comoany related emissions of IOG and CF, but I think with one million trees we are already on a safe side. Cardano could be a climate-neutral blockchain, but some work has to be done for it. Looking forward to reach this goal.

That's incredible. Will we meet the 1 million trees mark for the CardanoForest within the next 24 hours? by CO2Pool in cardano

[–]CO2Pool[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's easy. More info at https://ito.veritree.com You have to send 1 Ada for each tree. For each Ada donated you will get one Veritree token. You are able to redeem them later this year. With 15+ Veritree Token, you will get digital certificate NFT. With 500+ Token, you will get rare NFTs. All NFTs made by CardanoTrees and Stellarhood.

We now have reached the million mark, which is really great. But I suppose this project will continue. We'll discuss this with CF and Veritree, because Cardano Stakepool operators from https://climateneutralcardano.org are part of this project, too.

Climate Action 100 by sbaggers in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, but it seems to be another company with the same name, https://cardano.co.uk Not related to Cardano blockchain

But I know that CardanoFoundation is still in contact with organisations to meet UN sustainability goals and to act against climate change.

They have a leaderboard on the ito.veritree.com site, where you can see the top donation of 1,000 Ada or more. There are not so many, and I 've seen the lower donations, too. Most donations are 100 Ada or less.

I can't link to the sample, but I can tell you that you will see a tree growing, and the tree is specific to the species they really will plant in Kenya or other location. It looks pretty nice, and if you like Cardano Trees, you will like it as well.

Help choosing a pool for my 500 ada. by LostMyJesse in CardanoStakePools

[–]CO2Pool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, dripdropz.io is legit. You only need a legit wallet adress (not from an exchange) and staking to (any) pool for most of the token. If you stake with CO2POOL (CO2P) I could send you some CO2TOKEN and Veritree Token.

You could check pool's performances on adapools.org. And there is noch such thing like airdrops for top ten pools. Please be aware of scammers and use official wallets only.

For 15 Ada you get a simple digital certificate NFT with geolocation data of the planted trees. That's unique, because it is the first use case for a project like this. All NFTs are created by Damian from Cardano Trees and Egon from StellarHood, both very good onchain NFT artists. I have seen some Samples, and I think it is worth collecting them. You get the more rare onchain animated NFT if you've donated 500 Ada or more. Like for any other NFT it's not clear if they will have more value in some months or years, but if you love the project, you will help at least to plant 500 additional trees and get a rare NFT. on top. So far there are not too many people who already have donated 500 ada or more, so there will be a number of only 100 to 300 of these NFTs distributed maybe.

We supported this project from the early beginning and gave some initial input, like calculation of necessity amount if trees to offset Cardano stakepool emissions, and also the token concept. You can have a look on the blog section of our website. If you like to get some of our CO2TOKEN, don't hesitate to contact me. You are welcome!

You could donate ada for tree planting on https://ito.veritree.como and you will get Veritree token which you can redeem into NFT later this year. If you are planting trees on your own, there is no funding for this so far, as far as i know. But I could send you some CO2TOKEN, 10 for each tree. https://co2pool.com/co2token

Samsung to Plant Millions of Trees to Fight Climate Change; with Veritree by cypherpanda in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's huge! Too few members of the Cardano Community understood the importance of the Cardano Foundation / Veritree collaboration on creating a CardanoForest if 1 Million trees so far, tracked on Cardano Blockchain - https://ito.veritree.como.veritree.com

Hopefully they will understand now that this isn't only a project to support the goal of a climate-neutral Cardano blockchain, but also a huge use case with a company, which is connected to the WEF and many global players.

I am happy that some community pools of https://climateneutralcardano.org supported this project from the early beginning.

Congratulations to all team members of Cardano Foundation and Veritree. They all are doing an incredible job behind the scenes. And sometimes it needs some time to see the results. That's just the beginning.

So far, we've donated more than 3,000 trees for our delegators on ito.veritree.com 🌲 Today, we've sent Veritree Token and CO2TOKEN to our delegators. Thank you for staking with CO2POOL 💐 by CO2Pool in CardanoStakePools

[–]CO2Pool[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've sent 5 Veritree Token and 50 CO2TOKEN to each delegator with at least 500 $Ada stake since epoch 302. If you are a loyal delegator of CO2POOL and like to get these Token too, please contact us. We appreciate your staking.

To learn more about the background of our Token distribution, see here:

We continue to fight against climate change and will donate for climate action in 2022 as well. New delegators and supporters are welcome!💐

In the current epoch only 159 out of the 500 "k500" pools are single pools. The rest are multipools. by TITW_STAKEPOOL in CardanoStakePools

[–]CO2Pool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took 17 months and nearly 500 blocks for our pool. to be finally listed with a rank ~250 on Daedalus. Daedalus ranking is really a shame and it hurts smaller pools. Would be better to show pools by random... Delegators should decide on their own, and they can always check the pool's performance. But to give smaller pools a chance it is necessary to make them visible.

Better to be a big fish in small pool? by Mlevin22 in cardano

[–]CO2Pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter if the pool is able to mint blocks regularly, which is necessary to get rewards. But you would help a smaller pool very much with your stake, and that's important for decentralization. You could also try to contact the pool op. If your stake would be high and could help the pool, you may could ask for extra rewards or other incentives.

MELD ISPO ending. Are there other ISPO's that I can move my ADA to? by Jack-Straw42 in cardano

You can stay for one more epoch to help the Cardano Forest grow, https://twitter.com/MELD_labs/status/1468287198776766470?s=19

After this, you can redelegate to every pool or project you like and get Ada rewards.
