Updated pledge is now in effect, getting back to rewards and rebuilding. I will likely keep pledge low so that pool owner parties and I can be more dynamic. Back to midnight testing and cardano hard fork preparations.
I am now on meds for the first time in my life, trying my best to get through this. I am isolate by nature, this one is going to hard. Im pushing to get back to the computer even though I dont want to. I know the challenge is real and worth fighting for.
I have just had a family indecent that has forced me to liquidate most of my pledge at a notice. This has meant that ADASTACK pool current does not meet the set pledge. I plan to adjust the value this epoch, though its going to mean that everyone delegated to pool will miss rewards for two epochs until the updated value applied on chain. I'm feeling really emotional with everything that I am having to deal with at the moment and the added thought of selling my pledge in this market conditions was never my intent. God 🙏help my sole : /
Last week taught us that being a Cardano SPO is no walk in the park — managing infra is complex.
What happens when we add 10+ partner-chains + Midgard + Hydra + bridges + oracles? How do we unify operations without compromising decentralization?

📢 Attention SPOs 📢
In the coming weeks an Ekklesia ballot will be posted on Incentive changes that will affect all SPOs. This will be your chance to vote for changes that you want to see in an upcoming hard fork.
On preprod, ballot is currently being tested. You can view the current draft of the ballot here:

✅ The Ekklesia ballot voting will be for dReps and SPOs.
📝 dReps vote with delegated stake
👀 SPOs vote with declared pledge amount
⚠️ For SPOs to vote you will need Calidus Key, have no fear I have created a step by step easy to follow guide here. I strongly recommend that everyone starts getting their Calidus Key setup and registered now. With this guide you will see how simple it is to do.

If you have questions or concerns on the CIPs being proposed in the ballot, please reach out to me or one of the members of the incentives working group @Cerkoryn@rabbitholepools@BBHMM_Stake@Star_Forge_Pool
I'm willing to have one on one calls or group calls to go over all the items and explain and answer questions and concerns
Please note this ballot includes only items that cannot be done in parameters gov action which is why ballot is needed to get them in hard fork.
Additional incentive proposals are planned as Parameter gov actions this year, they include increase K to 1,000 and decreasing min pool fee to 75 ADA. Those actions cannot be submitted until roughly April due to other parameter changes
PLEASE feel free to ask me questions, there is a lot going on & pretty technical, but this is our chance to finally get some much-needed changes to help SPOs 💪
