I hope that as a single pool operator, and with a small stake, I can continue to contribute to the community, even with no block mint.
Keep going !

Hi, Is this mean we don’t need to wait 4 rounds to get the CF delegation? @adatainment
I really hope this is true…

The changes made to the CF delegation strategy are all positive. This seems really fair and well thought out.
I think an opt-in system would be best to determine single pools. Many pools are assumed to be single pools. It takes a pool speaking up against themselves to be classified as being part of a group. This isn’t likely to happen considering the negative associations made by those who run single pools and the disqualification from golden tickets.
If you make an owner opt-in to the single pool group, somebody would have to lie to be included instead of just being complacent.
Pools run by SPAAS, for example, are part of a pool group. All of them, even SPAAS is considered a single pool in these listings because nobody has spoken up against themselves.
These tools could use some work. Right now too many pools are classed as single.

Is it possible to get a “donut” that shows the rewards that are distributed? Or can anyone point in that direction?
Single pools may be the majority of the network but there seem to be a significant amount of pools that aren’t performing as well as they could.

checkout the twitter bot @CardanoAdvisor which filters out multi pools by analyzing all relays
While I appreciate the relay analytics, the interpretation needs to be carefully done. And to conclude from the relays that a pool is using, to multi pools is a great way to create heaps of false positives. Because of this fact I’d say this is completely unusable for this purpose.
you are absolutely right. If the BOT is lenient then some multipools creep in and if it is strict there are some false positives. But this is not the only criteria and the BOT is learning every day 
Made my first application today:). Even if I’m just in the beginning I feel great to be part of this community.
Good luck everyone!

Please delegate to small pools like ABOBO., not multi-pool.
