Call for delegation news?

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool
,
22

@benohanlon,

I have a couple of questions about the progress of the delegation rounds going forward:

  1. from the amount of applications you received (approximately 300) it looks like IOHK will aim to delegate to about a third of applicants, correct?

  2. If so, are the applicants that were not successful in round 1 (eg Jan-Mar 2021) expected to re-apply with a new application in round 2?

  3. Lastly, will non-successful applicants be notified and given some feedback regarding how to improve their applications?

Cheers,

A

Hi @Adrem.

  1. ā€œOn the incubation side, each quarter we will be looking to delegate to between 50 and 70 pools.ā€ Delegating with fresh purpose - IOHK Blog
  2. Applicants would indeed need to apply for future rounds.
  3. I donā€™t think applicants ought to expect one-to-one feedback as a rule.

If I had a vote, itā€™d go to to [CHRTY] run by (@Alexd1985) and [UNDR] run by (@_ilap). These folks have helped me a great deal on the journey - responses were competent and prompt - at times controversial, but always productive - just great - thanks.

thank you for your kindly words but I donā€™t think it is the case, we should all have an equal chance to take part to this random delegation process

Hello, Where are we now? Is this still in process (IOHK Delegating to small pools)?

Hi @sreekd-VOLVO,

The call for delegations for this round has been closed and applications which were received are being reviewed. Please see :point_up: for recent responses by @benohanlon for more details.

Cheers,

@benohanlon you may have mentioned this somewhere, but will there be a news shared either here or via a blog post once you have made the final decisions. Not necessarily naming the exact pools, but just giving us an idea that the process has concluded?

34

That right. I echo you @Kristiyan_VLNS

@benohanlon Iā€™m running a pool since epoch 211 without a block!!

35

@sreekd-VOLVO what is your sigma value? It is possible to know upfront whether/when your pool is going to generate blocks for a given epoch.

36

@sreekd-VOLVO sorry if this is an obvious question, but is your poolā€™s ticker VOLVO?

37

I saw that block too :)))

The best place to look for SPO new is the SPO digest that I put together SPO Community of Communities.

@benohanlon I see an empty set of marketing permissions in Firefox-84.0.2. Is this supposed to be like that?

Hi @tomdx , I do check leader election regular at the start of each Epoch. But no luck! I have asked my known delegators to move-on with other pools. I cannot hold themā€¦
