Just letting everyone know our pools and relays are properly synced to the network after the networking has experienced some forking throughout most of the day.

Our live dashboard currently does not show our realtime sync-data but this will be fixed over the weekend.

By the looks of it we missed one block early this morning, which under the circumstances is a good result since many many blocks seem to have been lost by other pools.😅

Epoch 596 result
4ADA: 93% (30/34) - 1 won slot battle, 1 lost slot battle, 3 blocks lost during chain fork/slowdown.
F4ADA: 178% (15/15) - 1 won slot battle

We lost 1 4ADA block almost immediately after the chain forked, and two more when the chain was recovering but still minting blocks only every 10~20 minutes or so. During this time our relays and pools were already upgraded, restarted and synced to the correct fork... F4ADA had no slot leader assignments during this tricky period.

Staking4ADA will become a Midnight validator as soon as the network opens up to SPO's, which is expected to happen in around 6 months from now. From that point onwards, your delegation to us will generate both ADA and NIGHT rewards, so stay tuned for more updates from us on this front going forward.

Given its smaller size, F4ADA is now at the lowest possible cost of 170ADA minpoolcost and 0% variable fee, to ensure it remains competitive with larger pools.

I will soon follow up with a comparison to provide insight into F4ADA and 4ADA's performance among the other pools out there.

Truly didn't think we'd be sitting around at 25ct again, especially so soon. Do useful things if you can and in the meantime, just let your ADA be your ADA. I think you will enjoy owning it at some point this year.🙏

All of our nodes and relays have been updated to 10.5.4 last week. We've also voted in favour of increasing the Transaction and Block Memory Units ( https://adastat.net/governances/c21b00f90f18fce4003edf42b0b0d455126e01c946e80cc5341a9f9750caf79500 ). 👍
