We will keep the noise in this channel minimal. So here comes the latest update:
ℹ️ New relay node ℹ️
We just added another relay node located in Germany. 🎉
This should make updates of the nodes easier and ensures minimal downtime of the block producer in case of server updates.

ℹ️New block created ℹ️
Epoch 278 started and we successfully created our first block.

A quick update on the BOSON front:
- we are in epoch 284, unfortunately no blocks assigned since the one and only we got until now. But our belief in randomness (of the algorithm) is strong 🤓, so we hope to get one soon again.
- since we minted our first block and promised to donate part of our rewards, we did so with the epoch 278 rewards: check out https://ada4science.com/#donation for details
- as a small pool, it is lonely out there, so we joined the "xSPO Alliance" to get support and also provide support to fellow staking pool operators. Check out https://adafolio.com/portfolio/e92d7c06-e9a8-11eb-8dbd-0242c0a8e002
- since we are a mission-driven pool, we applied to join to the "mission driven pool" group/alliance where most MDPs join and can be found. This is currently on-going, as the registration process is somewhat slow due to the people who approve being on holidays. But we should appear there sooner or later: https://missiondrivenpools.org/
Let me know if there are any questions or feedback, like what else you would like to be informed about... That's it for now, have a good one!

Another short update on the BOSON front:
- Epoch 287 is coming to an end. Unfortunately, still no blocks assigned at the moment
- exciting stuff happening on the Cardano side. Smart contracts are being tested on the testnet and if things go well, they will come to the mainnet soon. Sept 12th is currently the target date.
- IOHK has announced a new community delegation round, where they delegate around 3 million Ada of stake to chosen stake pools each for a period of 3 months. This helps those pools to gain some momentum and attract new potential delegators. We will of course also apply for this. The chances are slim though, as they only choose around 100 pools out of ~3000
That's it for now, have good one!

An update on the BOSON front:
- It's been quiet the past 10 epoch regarding block production, but we just started epoch 297 and we have block scheduled for our pool ⛏💎
- We did not receive the IOHK delegation mentioned in the earlier update. Chances were slim, but if you don't apply you can't get it, can you?
- on the Cardano front, smart contracts went live, unsurprisingly without any hickups.

A very short update:
We successfully minted the block in epoch 297, rewards should be coming in epoch 299!🎊

A BOSON update:
- From the profits of the previous block in epoch 297, we donated to the Quantum Center at the ETH Zürich!
- And... we successfully minted another block in epoch 301 🎊
