In the meantime, 500 more users have redeemed their rewards. Next tangible step expected on Yoroi-Update. Happy Staking!

3 weeks after the start of the mainnet 80% of the ITN-Rewards are retrieved. And the first rewards from the Mainnet block production are due right away when the next era starts. CLIO1 has so far produced and delivered all blocks and thus achieved the maximum possible

As a pool operator, we also participate in the further development of the Cardano platform. This is done with so-called "Cardano Improvement Proposals" (CIP) and includes topics such as the coin selection mechanism, improvements in wallet visualization or extended metadata for pools, which are visualized to the end users. https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/pull/15

By the way: Stake pool operation margins at Clio1 are re-invested in projects to support further development of the Cardano ecosystem. We operate one of the Oracle pools mentioned here

FYI: CLIO1, along with several other pools, has had an exceptionally large delegation at its disposal over the past two months, for which we are very grateful. It was time to pass this delegation on to other pools, which has meant that our live-stake has been reduced to about a quarter. The effect will occur two epochs later.

Those who continue to delegate to CLIO1 will therefore not feel many effects, except that the epochal fluctuations will be somewhat more pronounced with more or less luck in slot allocation. So sometimes there will be a little less and sometimes a little more revenue.

If someone prefers to choose another pool and I have a wish, I would ask them to choose an independent operator who has only one pool and ideally also makes contributions to the Cardano ecosystem that are useful to all

This will not change the reliability, passion and conviction of our team.

We are very grateful for every suggestion for improvement, and of course for every recommendation to other potential delegates. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to ask them through our feedback channel https://t.me/clio1feedback

What CLIO spends its time with:

The LeaderLog forecasts are not yet completely reliable. We had already recognized this in the last epoch, and the developers (thanks BCSH, LOVE) are working on improvements. Our bad luck of the last 3 epochs seems to be made up for in the current epoch.

In Testnet the preparations for several new functions are in progress. Besides P2P, the Catalyst voting will be tested soon. More about this shortly.

New servers: In order to have more resources for parallel systems in the future, 4 servers have been prepared for the Cardano-Nodes in our main location. Each with Dual-Xeon-CPU, 128GB RAM, 1Gbps uplinks and SSD Raid Storage.
For the upcoming P2P tests we want to run really independent nodes, each with its own IP address.

At some point there will be peak loads and advanced features that will show the differences between good and cheap infrastructure. Until then we hope that you will stay with us, and thank you for your trust so far

72% of the epoch is over, but CLIO still has half of the planned blocks ahead

There is a new combined group @clio_rdlrt_undr and Clio.1 is proud to be part of it.

Some of us pool ops in similar positions (not very big on marketing) - wanted to combine our telegram groups to allow better interaction and timelines/availability.

Don't worry: The pools will still remain completely independent, nothing changes with respect to our pools/delegation, but we'd simply be working together and hopefully if one of the pools is down with stake too much , you have option within to easily switch and maintain continuity of the conversations and support.

This channel remains for passive announcements as long as enough subscribers show interest. The existing interactive Clio.1 support channel will be closed instead and invites all delegates to the new support channel.

As always please keep in mind:
- Feel free to DM me at @gufmar for every question you don't feel comfortable asking in public.
- Please never expose information related to your funds or secret keys.
- We will never ask you for keys, transactions or bring up odd sounding deals.

Just like in the previous epoch, our blocks are all rather at the end. So please do not worry. The servers are running and doing exactly what they should. We're once again taking care of a lot of details and data in the Cardano ecosystem, even if it's not always that visible.
