I've never really understood the "rewards" wallet/address/whatever w/staking....

I'm in a pool that's just hit 90%, which I understand then starts to impact the staking return. I'd like to switch to a new pool, but see I have X Ada as Rewards -- Do I need to withdraw these first or I can just undelegate, pick a new pool, and delegate to move all my bag of Ada?

PS:

Why do rewards collect in a different wallet/address or whatever?

Does it matter when if you ever withdraw/claim/move them to the main wallet?

Hi guys,

I am currently running a ADA pool of 1 relay and 1 BP node. I would like to add a new relay node to it in order to reduce orphan blocks. This new relay is located in different place with different WAN IP address.

My original topology is like these, both BP and relay are in a LAN with IPs like 192.168.1.X，only relay node's port 6000 expose to the internet. Now, if I add a extra relay node from the outside network, I need to also open the BP node's port. Will it bring any risk for my node? Or is there any better topology I can use? What's your topology if you have set up multiple relay node?

Thank you!

Emurgo are retiring 5 of their stake pools. Roughly 140M ₳ is delegated to these pools which will need to be moved asap to continue receiving staking rewards.

Please check on your stake pool regularly to make sure it's not retired or in the process of retiring.

Hello, the balance of my ADA in Yoroi wallet shows zero, while I have a balance. Please guide me what to do. I staked my balance in a pool and now it says the pool not generating rewards anymore but I can't widraw them or even see them! I resync and also removed my wallet and recover it again but nothing happened. Can you please give me an advice on?

Thanks

So many wallets in lost rewards from delegates in u/GoatStake

Please re-delgate to a new pool like BBHMM. We have been validating blocks for over 4 years. Delegates get extra token rewards to claim that are dropped every Epoch Reach out if you have any questions.

https://preview.redd.it/iu9syiif7hhd1.png?width=2744&format=png&auto=webp&s=e5dfd9b65303dabc5460f966a3b68aa714ae7c10

As an extra incentive to stake with OYSTR we are giving our delegators 50% of our Rosen Bridge income.

You can find more info about our promotion here:

https://www.oystr.wales/rsn-giveaway/

Delegate before the end of the epoch today to join the next 6 epoch round.

OYSTR is a high pledge, low fee stake pool supporting seabed conservation projects.

Hello folks!

I've been head down cooking a new website.
The EASY1 Stake Pool is close to its 4th birthday and I've decided to freshen up the look and feel of the pools' website. While some section are still under development, the landing page is now looking already nice.

Give it a go and visit easy1staking.com, there are already a couple of interactive features where you can learn everything about staking and maximising rewards.

Also stay tuned because I'm writing a few contracts that will revolutionise the way we think about staking!

Here a screenshot of the new landing page!

easy1staking.com new landing page

Let me know what you guys think and what you'd like to see in the new website!

Anyone here delegated to a retired pool?

May as well put that ₳ in a small independent like #DYNO. DYNO has been around 2.5 years. It is well maintained and I keep up with the latest developments through the xSPO community and IOGs Tech community, but here's the deal.

I don't market this pool well and I don't engage in BS. DYNO is just a well run bare metal Cardano stake pool that's not on the charts because it's never had 1M₳ or more for any period of time.

So anyone delegated to retired pools, pools who haven't met their declared pledge, mulri-pool setups with 10M₳ or more that's not minting blocks because they aren't here for the network there here for your rewards, pools with high fees ..... Look for small pools like DYNO and help keep this Cardano network distributed, decentralized and healthy.

Caveat. DYNO and all other small pools with less than 1M₳ will not mint blocks regularly. But a block minted (assuming low fees like DYNO) results in more distributed to fewer, so there is some recovery to make up for the droughts.

One of the reasons I have waited until now to engage here is recently I have noticed pool operators with millions of delegated ₳ who are struggling to operate their pools. This rapid change to node 9.0.0 has caused need for some non routine maintenance which has caught some off guard. Somewhat frustrating to realize they have garnered millions in delegated ₳ and many pools like DYNO which are well run by attentive operators sit in obscurity.

Check out the pools of xSPO if you need some place to move that ADA in a retired pool or one that is not otherwise here for Cardano.

Sorry to any pools struggling, not meaning to step on any toes, but if you need help, check out the xSPO community. There are some very dedicated pool operators there who do not engage in BS.

Hey all!

I'm just wondering if there's an easy way to search the current node version across all stake pools 🤔

Hoping to help spread the word for pools that are Chang ready.

We are beyond excited to announce that the CLOVR pool has now been selected to be a partner SPO in the ongoing u/linkberry ISPO. Starting Epoch 496, you will earn $LIBE by delegating to CLOVR 🍀

Linkberry empowers individuals by offering a monetized social media platform that generates income. Learn more about LinkBerry by visiting: https://linkberry.info/index.html

Thinking about starting a stake pool. With 2 node and 1 block producer I figure it will be around ~$200 for the hosted VPS server monthly cost. I want to break even with the blocks the pool will be able to produce. I know there is a lot going on with the way the nodes are selected. Those who have been in this game for a while, depending on if ADA hangs between 30 and 40 cents what is the average pledge amount for a pool to start with that will cover the hosting cost ?
