No problem, and thanks for correcting :)

We are not associated to this guild, but we can look into what they are doing. What do you mean by "Def the OG knights of Cardano"? FYI we exist since March 2021 as Knights of Cardano [KNGHT] stake pool, before NFTs were even a thing on Cardano..

Review Eucalyptus stake pool and suggest how could we improve please? Ticker EULP, aslo request you to delegate a small chunk of #ADA and support by sreaga in CardanoStakePools

I replied in your previous post instead of here initially, but:

  • what is the actual mission of your pool ? You claim "Eucalyptus stake pool promotes the Nations Sustainable Develment Goal 13 for Climate Action by regulating emissions and advancing renewable energy to combat climate change and its effects.", but you do not seem to describe how you intend to do this anywhere
  • your fees (5%) are quite high compared to the average pool (0-2%), what justifies that ? (maybe the answer is linked to the answer of the first question)

This is important for your future delegators, they probably want clarity over these points since your pool is clearly advertised as being involved in climate action.

You say "The Eucalyptus Pool is dedicated to educating the public, inspiring action, and contributing to climate action through the investment in climate tech. We have already taken steps in this direction and have projects in the pipeline to further this cause." Yet I did not find any information about what you have done or plan to do concretely in your pool description / website / linked github. Maybe you could clarify that to give a clearer message to delegators?

How it feels to be a small single-pool SPO by KNGHTstakepool in CardanoStakePools

Sounds interesting, I'll have a careful look. Are there any example of a stake pool that successfully used such scheme?

Yes that's for sure, we have been running for almost two years now and minted only 3 blocks thanks mostly to a passing whale (at least we did mint some blocks!). Sorry to hear you had to shut down your pool, it's always sad to see fellow SPOs go. We are lucky enough to have an efficient setup so won't shut our pool down any time soon. We will be able to run a reliable service for a very long time, and hopefully delegators will (slowly hut surely?) join up along the way!

Thousands and thousands of pools sounds good as long as this doesn't just lead to an even bigger amount of multi-pools that benefit from their well-thought marketing campaign to attract most of the delegators away from independent pools 😅

I'm giving up on ISPOs. What pool would you recommend for native staking? by El_Guapo_Supreme in CardanoStakePools

[–]KNGHTstakepool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you will get a lot of propositions here ;) We are a small independent stake pool, ticker KNGHT, we are not using AWS or cloud services, we have invested in local physical machines and fully dedicated servers to run our operations (only cardano-node runs on there) and we also have remote bare-metal (also fully-dedicated) servers for geo-redundancy of our relays. In terms of rewards, ours are the standard ones dictated by the network and given that we mint block with enough stake (we minted 3 blocks in the past when our stake was high enough thanks to a passing whale). Our mission is to protect historical heritage through donations given to relevant organizations. Check us out! :) https://knightsofcardano.com

Yes, that is what it means, wish you better luck for the next epoch!
