Thanks - I appreciate your time with your response and I will admit I do not really understand the structure of how IOG, IOHK, the Cardano Foundation etc all work and who all the players are. I think I do speak for a lot of crypto enthusiasts however that like to get involved in these projects and invest time and money. The thing is I have staked around 10,000 USD in ADA and will probably increase my stake to around 20,000 USD. This level of stake will give me maybe an 8% chance of minting a block each epoch. Realistically this could take many months before I get a chance to mint a block. If unlucky it could be much longer. How do you keep the smaller operator involved when they may not even be considered for a delegation for months or even years but yet they have invested 10 or 20 thousand USD not to mention the time and investment of running a Stakepool. You may think I am digging my own whole but I have been involved for crypto for years and I have mined Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum in the past. Each time I could always see my reward with minimal investment but Cardano now worries me as it is becoming more apparent that the system is only going to favor those that can afford a significant investment. If that is the model then fine - it is what it is I suppose - but somewhat disappointing from my point of view and I am sure for many others.
