I moved my stake from another pool (where I received rewards while learning about becoming an SPO) to mine on August 15. It’s already been several epochs and still no regular rewards on my stakes. I had been thinking I would only need to go through the claim rewards process if my pool generated block rewards. Otherwise, the system contract would distribute non-block (i.e. regular) rewards within 4 epochs, 2-3 epochs in arrears.
So, it’s been that already and still no regular rewards. I use a single wallet for the stakepool. One of the other wallets I have is delegated to the stakepool; and it also has not received any regular rewards.
Feedback, anyone?
Probably u will need to attract more delegators to increase the active stake amount; u will need ~1M for an averrage of 1block/epock
PS: no blocks, no rewards
Hello, Alex!
Aha! So, thank you for the crystal clear confirmation. I get nada unless there are blocks.
I am fine with that, but I was not 100% clear about the system contract. I had been thinking I would get that, and any block rewards would be “a bonus”.
I wonder how many others might have become SPOs thinking the same way…? 
Yes, I know, this is the hard part being a PO… to attract delegators 
I have so far put minimal effort into attracting delegators. It seems one must be very visible and active to be successful. Dare I say?: It seems to be a popularity contest.
Also, I want a few more months experience and learning before spending time or expense on all that.
Any links to any discussions about changes to the importance attracting delegators plays you can share? I certainly appreciate how that may have been very important up to this point, but I imagine going forward, something like performance metrics should have a greater weight.
We all could compete, if performance is given greater weight.
