Super cool @werkof Thanks for taking the time to detail this process. I can imagine it took a while to plot all that data as nicely and well layed out as that! Very interesting!

I didn’t realize until now that more than one pool can be assigned a block, do you know what happens to those rewards for the pool that’s block didn’t get chosen? Thanks Markus!

In such a case it’s not a missed slot/block. Indeed there are even more than enough blocks.

Thoughts regarding pool effectiveness and how it technically can be measured is an upcoming blog topic.
