Thank you for the feedback. However, I would like to correct some of your assumptions that don’t seem quite right.
Supporting Cardano can be done in many ways and starting a pool is but one of them. Delegating to a pool is another. It is not my business and not my goal to motivate people to do either because motivation can only come from within, not from others.
I don’t share this view. It doesn’t make the slightest difference how many pools someone runs. Nobody would be better off if I ran only one pool and it doesn’t hurt anybody that I run three. The first pool, WMOPS, I created solely to stake my own funds. I set the fee to 340/0% because I didn’t want to make money on delegators and I made no publicity other than one post in this forum to introduce it. Delegators came nevertheless and I ended up slightly increasing the fees in order to avoid saturation.
Later I created three other pools, two of which are retired by now, just to see how different fee choices would influence their popularity. Still no marketing, not even an introduction. Still the funds staked were my own, so I ended up paying all fees to myself, at least initially.
My lesson learned from this experiment: Fees don’t make that much difference and Pledge matters greatly. People choosing a pool to delegate value pools with pledge.
Finally I made the LEAKS pool to raise money for a charity that is important to me and I wanted that separated from my other activities. The pool has donated more than 10’000 EUR already, almost all of it owing to the pledge I put in it.
By now you will maybe understand why I can’t confirm that conclusion of yours either. Even if we restrict “community” to include just Cardano stakeholders (which I believe is what you meant), we can observe that more than 1000 ADA holders have found reasons to delegate with one of the pools I run. Since I don’t waste any effort on “marketing”, I’m very confident that the reasons people have for delegating either have something to do with objective criteria (pledge, fees) or with the (sometimes controversial) views I express here in this forum and elsewhere.
I wish you success with that. Please be aware that ultimately it is not you who grows the pool, it is others who choose to stake with it.
