Introducing Pale Blue Dot pool [PBDOT]

Hi,

First I want to give a big thanks to the community for the awesome articles and posts that provide a ton of helpful information and answers to many questions.

The process of setting up a pool on the test-net and understanding the complete process is precious as it gives us the opportunity to learn a lot about how the network works and how to interact with it. I’d encourage everyone to give it a try, you’ll learn a lot and you’ll love the project even more : )

I really believe and hope that in long term Cardano and the other projects will be able to make a change in the world, thus my contribution to decentralization is a small pool named “Pale Blue Dot” [PBD] :slight_smile:

I’m a software engineer, dad, and when time permits a cycling enthusiast ; )

PBD / https://palebluedotpool.org
PL: 3100, FF: 345, VF: 1%
100% profits donated (in case the pool mints a block at some point). Donations will be listed on the website.

Cheers :beer:

Welcome to the community. It’s nice to see more people interested in Cardano :slight_smile:

Thanks John :wave:

Did some pool metadata updates so the new pool ticker is now PBDOT :ok_hand: :grinning:

Cheers :beers:

Running the pool now for about 1.5 years. Everything’s running smoothly and there have been no problems yet :crossed_fingers:

It’s probably a shot in the dark, but looking for someone with a considerable amount of ADA who wants to help the pool mint the first block by delegating for one or few epochs. What I can do in return is providing you the pool’s earned fixed fee of 340ADA if that pays off for you. (The 1% awards remains reserved for donation) Cheers and happy new year :wave: :santa: :grinning:

Got the first delegation :grin: Thanks for the kindness :smiley: :beers:

I dig your style.
