Dear fellow SPO’s,
Please help me feel better by telling me I am not the only one being this unlucky minting my first block.
Should have minted 2 blocks by now 
Ps: There is no way I will give up though
Ps2: delegators thanks for sticking around.

Indeed with your 1.9m lifetime stake you could have minted 2 blocks already. I got 0.9m lifetime stake so the next epoch should be my lucky one. Unfortunately past is not influencing future 
. So i still can assume to wait 9 more epochs on average from now. Time will tell and i also wish you good luck!

I don’t know if it helps, but sometimes the opposite of what you find yourself in also happens to SPOs 
On the long term it also will happen to you. The question being: how long…

Yeah thanks. I see people with 50k finding blockks in 4 epochs heheh. Happy for them!
It’s a verifiably random function (VRF), and you know sometimes you do go through patches where you get less, and then you get more…but somehow you only feel like its a problem when it’s less…
Good luck

Update:
As epochs come and go, I am still not hitting my ideal odds.
But in this sea of zero’s I have also good news. Our total stake just grew to almost 260k!! Just before epoch boundary. The next time I post an update, I have found a block

The waiting and the insecurity is finally over! Almost 4m of lifetime stake and finally today I minted my first block! Feels good to know my pool works

How fast can things change!! unbelievable.
4 weeks ago I had zero blocks after months and now I minted my 4th block and just got selected for Cardano Foundation Delegation round!
Now in hindsight I can’t imagine I chose the title “Who is even more unlucky” for this post!
Cardano Foundation and community, thank you so much! you guys are epic.

Hey mate, I was struggling into a similar situation as yours, 3 epochs at 8-9%, than 12 at 14%, no blocks minted since last epoch we also minted our first block at VICIS Stakepool!
Congratulations for your CF delegation with juuuust a little twist of envy and “self-hope”!

Congratulations ADA4Good!
We just registered HODLR on Mainnet last week and seeing the news about your big delegation is an inspiration. We were planning on aligning with a good cause before that but decided to raise it up to 50% based on your leadership.
