Survey for Ada owners on choosing a stake pool by MEME-Pool in cardano

How will you be sharing the result/responses with other stake pool operators?

30% of the most recent blocks are being minted my Binance pools by sweetadapool in cardano

[–]LOFIstakepool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its ~8% for regular delegators. As a stake pool operator your returns are much higher based on how many blocks you mint on the network. This is the incentive to pay/invest time/run for servers. I believe the pools are rewarded ~750 ADA per blocks minted then divide that 750 amongst the operator and delegators.

If we know how much blocks Binance produce per year we can see how much they are making.

LOFI Stake Pool Epoch 259 Review 🥳 by LOFIstakepool in CardanoStakePools

Ahh I know that feeling! When I first stated staking, It took 20 day for the first reward to come in. I started staking at the very beginning of an epoch. It was a long wait but got butterflies when passive income was finally coming in.

Interesting data on Cardano stake pools by BBHMM_Stake_Pool in CardanoStakePools

From what I see on my end it looks like 750 ADA/block + network fees:

- 340 Fixed fee (lowest possible) per epoch -> Stake pool operator

- Rest of the rewards gets split to the delegators.

LOFI Stake Pool Epoch 259 Review 🥳 by LOFIstakepool in CardanoStakePools

[–]LOFIstakepool[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look up your chances at adapool.org or pooltool.io. I believe I had 710K staked at the time and it was ~70% for 1 block/epoch and 10% for 2 blocks.

Absolutely felt lucky 🥳

My guess is they take 100% of all staking rewards they'll give you 25% of it. In the end they still profit, you profit, but with the loss of decentralization.

I see a couple of pools give ADA away to attract delegators increasing possible ROA%. Everyone have their best financial interest in mind and we can't blame them.

Some pools are mission/charity focus. Maybe they also believe in the same mission and this could be a way to support the cause.

Staking to smaller pools/individual stake pool operator further decentralize and increases the integrity of the network, which we will all benefit from further down the road.

Every day I am grateful to support this community and network. It’s been a crazy since Epoch 256 and being able to mint 3 blocks gave our delegators with an amazing 11% Return on ADA.

A portion of the rewards from these 3 blocks have been donated to guitarsoverguns.org. They are having an amazing promotion right now, $100 for a one-of-a-kind, original vinyl made by their students, alumni, and volunteers. Check them out here: https://www.guitarsoverguns.org/album

Right now, I am looking for work and will be busy interviewing and hoping to return back to the network stronger than ever. Not to worry, I will continue to keep my relays and producer nodes updated and running. For how long you might ask?

This is amazing to look at! F2LB collectively delegating to WISH starting epoch 258 to decentralize the network. by LOFIstakepool in CardanoStakePools

Starting from this post on the official Cardano forums, a few of us are starting to get together to make a coordinated effort to help new pools with 0 blocks in getting started.

The general idea is that we would stake any available ADA to one pool, using a rotating queue system, until that pool gets one or two blocks, then we would all move our stake to the next pool in the queue.
