Hello everybody and nice to meet you!
My name is Oleg. I’m a Web Developer based in Ukraine. I’m also a main developer of Adapools mobile application which you can find in both GooglePlay and AppStore markets. I hope that someone uses this app on daily basis and I’m going to keep it updated based on people feedback. My pool was recently supported by IOG delegation (3.3m for three months) so I finally started producing blocks. I hope I’m here for a long term, really nice to meet with everyone. In my opinion Cardano community is the smartest one and the most healthy, so proud to be a part of that.

Pool infrastructure:
My cloud based infrastructure is easy expandable to any capacity. It’s only about 5-10 minutes to add more cores, RAM or increase SSD space. So that I try to keep nodes in reasonable capacity level to ensure that cost fees are fair keeping them as less as possible for pool delegators. I have applied all best practices in running cloud based applications to ensure the maximum security for pool while maintaining high performance for reasonable fees.
Current technical specs:
Block Producer: 2 Cores, 8GB RAM, 100GB SSD
2 Relays: 2 Cores, 4GB RAM 64GB SSD (for each)
Note: will be increased on demand considering AWS capabilities
Operator experience:
I’m experienced developer and working as a Senior JavaScript Engineer in outsource company (Currently work as a team lead). I have enough skills to maintain Cardano node 24/7 delivering updates on time or increase pool capacity on demand.
Why should users check out BPRL?
