ZPCT Stake Pool has voted YES to proceed with the Plomin hardfork!
zeropercentstaking.com

What is the situation regarding these and voting for the implementation of the upcoming fork? There appears to be at least 0.6B ADA in 19 pools that I can find ( They are not listed on adastat net, but are on pool.pm)

Hi, I can't seem to compile cardano-node 10.1.4, there is a cabal dependency issue with some elements for "cardano-byron-ledger-test".

Checked out 10.1.3 again and Cabal builds just fine.

Anyone encountered this issue?

Thanks.

Anybody know anything about this Linkberry. It looks like I have 2,800 Linkberry. Is this a slam? It says to go to Linkberrypool.com to get my ISPO reward. It then wants me to connect my wallet. Thank you in advance.

Please note that these pools have been retired now for several months and still have a total of 13,000,000 ADA and 12,600 delegations! Suggest you all move and stake to pools which are still actively supporting the network...Thanks!

https://pool.pm/7f6c103302f96390d478a170fe80938b76fccd8a23490e3b6ddebcf7 https://pool.pm/fc7c663438fd4b61c5d0c064128467a550fd4e721fe6d5f237f5b416

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been a fairly long term ADA holder and would like some guidance on setting up a stake pool in a secure way.

My goal is to be able to also stake and delegate to other projects, like midnight, but aside from holding for the last few years I never cared to much about staking. But after watching most of the Cardano convention I’m inspired to actively develop and be more active in the community.

Any help, guidance or advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you anyone who does!

Sad to say, but we've decided to retire EAGLE Pool. I still believe in the technology, but it's become too expensive to run the pool on AWS and I don't have the time to properly maintain another option.

We're going to set the fees to 100% for a couple of epochs (which is effectively the same as retiring the pool) before officially retiring the pool in a few epochs. If any whales who don't like rewards would like to toss their stake into our pool for a couple of epochs, we'd be grateful. 🤣🙌🤞🙏

Everyone else, please move your stake immediately.

We're excited to live just outside of Washington DC and hopefully participate in crypto activities in the coming years.

All the best, EAGLE Pool operators Joe and Brian

This article was previously posted in `r/Cardano` but marked promotional and hence removed. While it is true that mentioned my Stake Pool, it's also true that it was only fair to mention that my pool was one of many taking part into the Midnight Testnet. Anyway. Apologies for breaking the rules.

Back to the important things now.

What is midnight

Midnight Network is a specialized blockchain within the Cardano ecosystem, known as a partner chain. It is engineered to address specific needs that aren't met by the main Cardano blockchain, particularly focusing on advanced data protection.

Read until the end if you want to know more about reasons to get involved in the Midnight ecosystem.

Here's what makes Midnight Network unique:

• Privacy-First Design: Utilizing zero-knowledge proofs, Midnight allows for transactions and smart contracts that maintain user privacy while ensuring regulatory compliance. This feature is crucial for users and businesses concerned with data privacy.
• Interoperability: Although it operates independently with its own consensus mechanism, Midnight is interoperable with Cardano. This integration means that assets and data can move securely between these networks, facilitating a broader ecosystem where developers can build applications that require high levels of confidentiality.
• Developer-Friendly Environment: Midnight simplifies the development process by supporting programming languages like TypeScript, making it more accessible for developers to create privacy-centric DApps. This ease of use is intended to spur innovation in privacy-focused blockchain applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: The network aims to balance the anonymity of transactions with the ability for regulatory oversight when necessary. This dual approach tries to address the concerns of both privacy advocates and regulatory bodies, potentially paving the way for broader adoption in sectors like finance and personal data management.
• Community and Ecosystem Growth: As part of the Cardano ecosystem, Midnight benefits from Cardano's established community and infrastructure. This could lead to increased adoption and development interest, as developers and users are already familiar with Cardano's ethos and technology stack.
• Security: While having its own consensus, Midnight leverages the security provided by Cardano's stake pool operators (SPOs), offering a robust layer of protection without compromising on privacy.

Midnight Network is currently in its testnet phase, allowing developers to experiment with its features before the mainnet launch. This phase is crucial for refining the network's capabilities, ensuring it delivers on its promise of secure, private, and regulatory-compliant blockchain solutions.

The Role of Stake Pool Operators as Midnight Validators

Cardano Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) play a pivotal role in the Midnight Network, particularly as node validators, enhancing the interoperability and security between Cardano and Midnight. Here's how their role functions:

• Validator Participation: SPOs can opt to validate transactions on the Midnight Network, which means they help in maintaining the integrity and security of both Cardano and Midnight. By running a validator node for Midnight, they extend their operational capacity beyond just the Cardano blockchain, contributing to the network's decentralization and security. This participation involves verifying transactions and ensuring they meet the network's privacy and compliance standards. Some Cardano Stake Pool are already actively participating in the Midnight Testnet such as the EASY1 Stake Pool.
• Reward Distribution: As validators on Midnight, SPOs have the opportunity to earn additional rewards in the form of DUST, Midnight's native token. These rewards are distributed not only to the SPOs but also to their delegators in Cardano, providing an extra incentive for ADA holders to stake with pools that participate in the Midnight Network. This dual reward system (ADA and DUST) can potentially increase the attractiveness of staking with such pools, encouraging more participation and liquidity across both networks.
• Network Integration and Security: By participating in Midnight's validation process, SPOs help bridge the two networks, allowing for seamless asset movement or data exchange while maintaining high security and privacy standards. The knowledge and infrastructure that SPOs have developed for Cardano can be leveraged to ensure Midnight operates securely and efficiently. This dual role strengthens the overall ecosystem, potentially driving innovation and adoption in privacy-focused applications.
• Community and Decentralization: SPOs contribute to the decentralization of the Midnight Network by running nodes. This decentralization is crucial for maintaining the network's resilience against attacks and ensuring that no single entity controls the majority of the validation power. The involvement of Cardano's SPO community in Midnight's operations reflects a commitment to a decentralized ethos across multiple blockchain layers.

In summary, Cardano SPOs act as key validators for the Midnight Network, enhancing its security, promoting interoperability, and providing an additional revenue stream through dual token rewards. Their role is instrumental in extending the capabilities of Cardano's ecosystem into areas that prioritize privacy and compliance, potentially setting a precedent for future partner chains or similar blockchain collaborations.

As the Midnight team has successfully launched their official public testnet, a number of Cardano STake Pool Operator have already joined the testnet to support the Midnight team in their journey towards the Incentivised Testnet and eventually Mainnet. Among many pool, the EASY1 Stake Pool has been pioneering the setup of the Midnight Testnet, and has already prepare all the required infrastrutucture to be ready for the mainnet from day 1.

This means that if you want to receive Midnight rewards, along your usual ada rewards, from the very first day of Midnight mainnet, you can join the EASY1 Stake Pool before saturation.

• To recap: There currently is only one testnet (preview cardano and midnight testnet)
• There is no mainnet yet, but team is proceeding very very fast
• There are no rewards/incentives just yet, we will know more soon!

You can find the list of Midnight Testnet Participating pools in the Midnight discord in the "Drop your Pool ID" channel.

Here anyway a screnshot of my pool/validator details:

https://preview.redd.it/b50r59g52v2e1.png?width=1688&format=png&auto=webp&s=6866ee1878548308e620ebe3e7b9149b81f5b015

I have been staking since November 2021 and this is NYE total reward. I guess I expected more than 11% increase in 3 years? Is that fair or am I on track? I thought it should be closer to 5%.

The pool I am in is currently 23.8% (17.82M), cost (.97% + 340), pledge 135k.

Thank you for your guidance and assistance!

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?
