Thanks @earncoinpool,
From the article you provided it appears that SMASH does not address the problem of stake pools that change their take from 1% to 100% without telling the delegators.
The Pool Ranger report that I run every epoch shows any pools that rug pull on the delegators and this is probably the most important thing the delegators need to know.
Oddly, since I ran my last report I see that OASIS has just raised its fixed fee from 170 ADA to 340 ADA per epoch. This accomplishes nothing more for them because they are already grabbing 100% of the margin. Previously, the margin was set at 1%. I am guessing that was to lure delegators in for the rug pull.
Like I mentioned the report is run once per epoch but if you want to see what OASIS is doing currently, you can use the pool analyzer at the following link and enter the pool ID shown below:

If you want to see all the pools that changed parameters according to my most recent report, there are two options.
- You can look at the raw data found at this link here.
- You can use the interactive pool viewer found at this link here and set the “Section” option to “Param Changes”. Just look for the “Param Changes” button near the top of the webpage.
In the following post linked below: I mention that when Pool Ranger goes from testnet to mainnet the delegation for our members will automatically be moved from RugPools to the highest yielding pools as soon as the RugPools are detected and before they can do any harm to our members. In order to get Pool Ranger to mainnet, I will need an audit, a new computer that I can airgap specifically for this project, and I will need to purchase more a.i. tokens which will be used in further development. Currently I am retired and living on a fixed income and selling my ADA to pay for the switch to mainnet makes no sense considering the current trading price. And as explained in the post below, there is no way that the Pentad can help and there is no support coming from the community. Times are tough and everybody is feeling it. So I am returning to work as an electrician in order to get the funding required to make the move to mainnet. I have already had several positive interviews and expect to be back at work shortly. Once I get a few paychecks there will be enough to bring Pool Ranger from testnet to mainnet.
In the meantime, all are welcome to use the open source code. Maybe someone will beat me to mainnet with a Pool Ranger service of their own. That will be fine with me. We will need lots of delegator cooperatives like Pool Ranger in order to fix the Sticky Stake Problem
