I have 1.5m to delegate, due to tax laws in my country its not worth it to start my own stakepool, so I can help a small stakepool to get go,
My Stake alone will ensure at least one block every epoch prob even 2-3, which is crucial for a stakepool to attract other delegators. But I’m not doing this just out of philanthropy, I want compensation for my delegation. Details about how the compensation could look like could be discussed in private.
So you don’t want to help a small stake pool, you just want more rewards without having to start a stake pool of your own. You automatically get compensation for your delegation every 5 days.
I lately made an offer here (Introducing Pale Blue Dot pool [PBDOT] - #5 by mcrio) in order to mint the first block… that specific offer would be valid for few epochs. We could revise it for a future predefined period.
I can use some delegators. I am now running my own stakepool now for almost a year. I am extending my pledge with 1000 euro each week in the hope I get one block each 6 epochs. I am not there yet.
The scripts I used to, create my pool, are open source. See
Maybe the fact I am contributing to open source you decide to grant me some part.
As much as we’d love your delegation an alliance such as xSPO (twitter - @AlliancexSPO) could do a lot more with that sort of delegation.
They run (and we stake along with) a rotating delegation that is staked to all member pools in turn. This allows some of the smallest pools a chance of creating their first block and getting the ball rolling. A lot of these pools also support good caused as part of their operations so you could also be helping them fulfil this role too…
