Good news! We were allocated 6 blocks and produced them all. That makes up for lack of blocks on some epochs but we are still behind what we are statistically due, so another 6 in the next epoch would be great 😉 1.20.0 cardano node software was officially released and we monitored stake pools that …
Not a lot to report this epoch, you can see from below that we were allocated zero slots, which again is not what Adapools says we should expect. 1.20 cardano node software was not officially released yet although some pools have started using it already. It should be QA passed in the next day or …
Well we had just written that we had no blocks allocated an hour and a half before the end of the epoch when we were notified by our monitoring script that we had been allocated a block and had processed it on to the chain successfully. It would have been nice with a few more …
We were allocated one block this epoch again below what was predicted by Adapools. The lottery of block allocation has not been fantastic for us so far so this has to improve as we are owed more blocks. During the epoch we had one of the relays lock up. Our script detected this and alerted …
Well as Epoch 215 closes we have made 3 blocks which is slightly above the estimate of 2.5. As before we have made every block that has been allocated which is great. We are still owed more blocks by the protocol as we had a couple of really bad epochs where we were allocated no …
So we draw to a close of epoch 214. Again we have not been allocated what is predicted by Adapools but the consolation is we at least had one block. We have produced every block we have been allocated so far during all the epochs, we could just do with more blocks! The network is …
Well that about sums it up. Zero blocks allocated for the epoch. The estimated was the same as the previous epoch which was three blocks. We have checked and double checked all setup even though nothing has changed since the last epoch where we did make the expected blocks. If you are in doubt you …
We are close to the end of Epoch 212 and rewards should start being paid out from the next epoch. Please remember if you stake to a new pool it will take two epochs before you start seeing rewards from your new pool. For each epoch I will report any work carried out and the …
We decided to do a rolling upgrade to 1.19.0 to keep a block producer online at all times and this went well and we made our second block of the epoch and our first with the new 1.19.0 software. We are going to take a conservative outlook with upgrades, waiting 24 hours after official release …
We have just made our second block and the first block in epoch 212. We got this block pretty early in the epoch so lets hope for some more and hope the RNG (Random Number Generator) gods are good to us and allocate a couple of extra blocks. We look forward to the performance enhancements …
