Hi Viper, please advise, what is the figure for min delegation to be able to produce a block
ta
Whoops, should have included that! It’s 1.40M ₳.

Isn’t that the minimum for a positive expectation, rather than for production?

Yes - it’s the bin size of the “Expected Blocks this Epoch” histogram above. It’s the minimum stake required in order to expect to make a block every epoch.
Question was “min delegation to be able to produce a block”, not to expect to make a block. I guess it might have been meant either way.
it’s a lottery… .you can find pools bellow 100k staked with blocks and also u can find pools with more over 100k with no blocks… of course, more stake more chances to be selected (like lotto more tickets more chances :)) ).
In conclusion there is no specified a fix amount but they mentioned that any amount more than 3M can generate at least 1 block/epoch! (could be lower)
PS: another reason for not creating blocks could be HW performance or configuration issue.

Correct - given enough time, a pool with 10 ada will eventually produce a block, so there is no absolute minimum to produce a block. There’s also no amount that will guarantee you make a block every epoch. There is an (infinitesimally small) chance that even a saturated pool will make 0 blocks. So all we can do is use statistics to look at expected values - in this case, how big does a pool need to be to average 1 block every epoch? A pool with 1.40M ₳ won’t make a block every single epoch, but some epochs they will get “lucky” and make 2 or 3 blocks. Over time, this will average out to 1 block per epoch.

no matter the size of the pool and how many blocks you will do… at the end (on long term like a year) all pools will have ~5% (more or less) ROA Lifetime

We’ve seen a large increase in the number of oversaturated pools this epoch. If you are delegating to one of these pools, you will receive reduced rewards. Use sites like pooltool.io and adapools.org to make sure your pool isn’t saturated.
