4 posts were split to a new topic: The pool ticker āADAā is part of a pool cluster
IOG did exactly this in their last delegation announcement.
What is the name or ticker of your pool?
Congratulations to all pools selected! Could anyone please tell me where one can apply for the next round?
Thank you in advance;)

Iām sure this post will probably be hidden, but here is another multi-pool that CF has been delegating to for their last 3 rounds - ZW3RK. Go to their website which shares a webpage with one of their other pools.
Your posts are not hidden. They are very much visible at the link directly above your latest post.
As @adatainment already said:
Adapools considers them single pool operator:
https://adapools.org/pool/e2c17915148f698723cb234f3cd89e9325f40b89af9fd6e1f9d1701a
Nobody can comment there. It was removed from conversation. As if too embarrassed to let people agree with whatās said.
This is single pool by omission. They havenāt reach out out to @danny_cryptofay to have themselves labeled as a group. Why would they when they can continue getting CF delegation?
Continually falling back on that weird loophole is adolescent. Iāve showed that your mythology is fatally flawed and is continually being gamed. To just shrug about it is sadā¦
Do something about it
What are you guys even defending? Are you defending what is right?
These people know they are running more than one pool, but are willing to lie on applications because they will probably get paid for it. Instead of looking at it objectively, you are defending and promoting this behavior.
Iāve pointed it out, Iāve provided proof. Itās not ok that you guys are advocating it and even preferring it. This is wrong.
That thread deteriorated into bickering between two users. That was a good reason to close it, in my opinion.
Do you really consider this example as one of the reasons multi-pools should be excluded? The second one has a totally different concept (100% margin for more or less charity), has whooping 5076 ADA stake and did not produce any blocks ever. Isnāt it just stickling to the rules as self purpose to want them excluded?
Iām not CF, not nearly. I just can very much understand that they do not want and do not have the resources to do an investigation into hundreds of pools.
Iād see two possibilities:
- Remove the single pool requirement. Itās obviously not assessable objectively and continously leads to fruitless discussions.
- Work out a better definition for multi-pools and a methodology that cannot be so easily gamed. Waiting for someone to cry havoc in the forum and then swiftly taking away their delegation again at will is not a methodology.
The person that stood to lose from the conversation was able to derail and hijack the thread and have it hidden. Their conversation had little to do with the OP. Thatās why itās so suspicious to have my other comments also moved to that locked thread instead of pruning their conversation out.
They could easily prefer pools with pledge over pools without it. Pledge is THE system in place to eliminate pool splitting. When they announce that they PREFER āsmallā pools, guess what, suddenly we have 1500+ small pools trying to get their delegation.
Iād hardly call a post with proof crying havoc. They should accept and positively respond to community members that are willing to put in the work to find pools gaming the system. Instead they point to a loophole and remove my comment from conversation. The proper response would be, 'Huh, thanks for pointing that obvious multi pool out that for some reason is considered a single pool."
ZW3RK doesnāt even hide that fact that they run many pools. Itās as simple as going to their website where they list another one of their pools. They have lied on their CF delegation application many times.
This behavior should not be rewarded.

@Tom_Stafford you are a defender of decentralization and may well be THE Defender of Decentralization. I commend your determination and dedication to helping poolsā¦
The two grave threats to decentralisation that you found ā ADA and ZW3RK ā both have 25k pledge. So, you want to have a higher pledge requirement? How high? Or would it then be okay again if they get it? And you want to exclude pools that cannot afford that from CF delegation?
āManyā as in ātwo, one of which very much looks like a failed experiment that never picked up any paceā?
