@WelfBrandolf @NOVAversePOOL @HEROsPool @GrahamsNoPlus1 @Upstream_ada @wise_pool Exactly. Sad thing is that even though Cardano and IOG is encouraging pools that not to be located in major data centers and geographical locations to avoid centralization, it has no effect on number of blocks being given to those who actually do so.

We now have 4 relays in total: 2 in Cyprus, 1 in US and 1 in Netherlands

2. Thanks to partnership with private investor we have increased our pledge to 2.2 Million $ADA
3. To improve block propagation we now added 2 more relays: Miami and Amsterdam

@BrothershipPool @tycomster But we will change the description to add *public* or *announced* relay status

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

First #Cardano pool in #Cyprus in operation!

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

@BrothershipPool @tycomster We have 2 optic cable ISPs and one wireless redundancy connection paired with enterprise network equipment. Bad actors are welcomed to try to DDoS our relays 🤣 We also have unannounced relays outside of Cyprus just in case.

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

@BrothershipPool @tycomster We believe that to improve decentralization Cardano need to have more public relays in different parts of the world. In Cyprus there are no more public relays so lowest TTL P2P connections from our relays are established with Germany and that is unfortunate.

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

@BrothershipPool @tycomster Γεια! It seems that you do not have announced relays in Cyprus.

@ProTheDoge Nice poll!

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

@cardano_whale Wow, SOL is bound to be centralised forever it seems

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

While waiting for our first blocks to be assigned in the next epoch we moved the pool to a new more capable dedicated enterprise hardware: Gigabyte R282 platform, EPYC 7F72 processors, 3200 MHz ECC RAM, SSDs with power loss protection in RAID and a replication server on stand-by!

[Solar Cyprus - SPO @solcypool]

Thank you for all delegations to our pool! We have increased our pledge to 100k $ADA!
