Official Position on Staking and Staking Pools

Hopefully the team would consider a fair solution where the reward probability of person with X amount of ADA running their own node will be higher than others with the same X amount that do passive delegation thus creating a little incentive to run its own node instead of killing that.

Team already considered the fair solution - and that solution is that anyone is having equal chance of creating a block if they have equal stake, irrelevant to the fact whether they run a pool or not.

Seem to be the most fair solution to me. You or anyone else can run a node with (almost) any stake and you will have the same chance to win a block as any node or pool with the same stake as you. Or you can easily additionally register as a pool and start having people delegating their stake to you to help you mitigate the the costs of running the node. How is this not fair?

Granted as I mentioned earlier, person with 10 ADA doesn’t make sense to run node, but person with 10000, 100000, 500000 ADA should be given a fair chance to earn reward to run their node.

You can read this comment (or the whole thread) where I describe in some details how a stake will be roughly related to the profits of an individual node:

[Question] Running a node while joining a staking pool?

Absolutely no problem whatsoever, this is exactly what forum is for Just wanted to make it clear in my answer that I am not sure that I understand the question completely Great question! So, here’s how it works: Anyone who runs a full-node - will get the right to create as many blocks as much relative stake he has. So whether it’s you or a stake-pool operator who runs a node - there must be a relatively big stake for this node to be able to make any blocks. You do no…
