Pool infrastructure:
– F8s_v2 (8CPU/16GB-RAM/Premium-SSD) with IP ACL Isolated Relays for maximum security of the primary Block Producer.
– D2s_v3 (2CPU/8GB/Premium-SSD) for Primary Public Relays
– DDoS Protection (we’ll keep making blocks no matter what!)
– Nodes are spread across multiple DataCenters for unbeatable reliability
– These specs powered this stake pool during HTN/MC testnets producing over 900 blocks! -
Pool redundancy: AZURE allows for instant snapshots and global regional instances on demand. All nodes have full backups under AES-256 encryption and SSE running-storage encryption. New pools can be spun up on demand to offset saturation or regional DDoS attacks.

Operator experience: 22yrs IT Systems Engineer, currently own a Managed Services Provider (MSP) operating in Hawaii since 2004. We serve 24x7x365 business continuity under SLA for over 500 endpoints spread across the islands. We understand what it takes to deliver performance and continuity to our clients, they pay their bills on time! Being a Stake Pool Operator involves a multitude of skills and experience that collaborate for a unified and stable block producing platform, we’ll make happy delegators the same way we make happy customers - commitment to service. We minted 943 blocks on the HTN and MC testnets using the same infrastructure we bring to Mainnet.

Why should users check out your pool? Outside of proven track record maintaining network infrastructure over the long haul, users may appreciate our brand as it focuses not only on rewards for delegators and pool operators, but also on making charitable contributions to worthy projects aligned with our philosophy of “Less Self-Centered, More World-Centered”.
GROW will donate 100% of our profits to organizations like: -
ManKind Project (this one saved my life. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of men save theirs)
-
Are we better than other stake pools? Our pool is part of an ecosystem that thrives on diversity. As a Stake Pool Operator I’m just one of many great pools collaborating for the same goal, a sustained, high performing backbone infrastructure for the CARDANO blockchain. I recognize that as much as we might need to compete with each other in a healthy way, we need each other to realize the project’s goals. For this reason, GROW has already demonstrated hundreds of hours of collaboration with other stake pool operators helping them build their rigs while they assist us in building ours. The spirit of racing to win and helping others to beat us at the same time is incredible and I believe the exact kind of fuel a project like CARDANO needs to realize its goals as a revolutionary global financial system.
Given the opportunity, some luck and lot of hard work, GROW Stake Pool will provide financial rewards year round while also offering charitable contributions from profits to projects listed on our website. Thank you for being a part of this project and for considering us in your financial investment strategies, we look forward to helping you GROW!
