2 days until retirement, but still 40 delegators! Please stake elsewhere before the end of the current epoch so you won't miss out on rewards!

Yo! Get moving your stake away if you don't want to miss rewards.. we're approaching the last epoch before retirement. (there are no more blocks scheduled before retirement)

Retirement is scheduled for epoch 600 in 10 days - please delegate elsewhere before then to avoid missing rewards. Thank you for your support! Unfortunately we are done with Cardano.

I can't support a network that treats someone who made an innocent mistake this way. WEN_K will be retired. Please delegate elsewhere. I will post more details of timeline/plan in the near future.

Cardano remained up/working as intended, yet @IOHK_Charles says this event is equivalent to "a hacker who exploits some broken code to shut off the power grid". How are these even remotely close?! The little respect I had left for Charles is totally gone. youtube.com/live/N0DZiW4ZayY…

4 blocks in a single epoch with only 155k ADA! What are the odds! With minimum fees, this should be a good % return for delegators 🙂

Proposal first draft - reduce minPoolCost (a.k.a. minFixedCost since it effects minimum of one of two fee settings SPO can configure) to 0 gov.tools/proposal_discussio… Feedback/suggestions/constructive criticism always welcome ⏳ Let's even out the playing field, long overdue

Yes please! Level the playing field and allow small pools to set their own fees and compete with larger pools.

@Catalyst_onX can you please answer the following questions based on these screenshots: 1) What is Catalyst Treasury, where is it located and what is its current balance? 2) The highlighted documentation snippets seem to be either vague or inconsistent, can you please clarify what happens to funds not paid out to funded proposals? 3) Who manages the staking of these two huge wallets that seem to contain ~60 of 102 million Ada withdrawn from treasury for Fund 12/13, who owns the earned staking rewards and where is all this documented currently? Thanks in advance (cc'ing @InputOutputHK just in case)

Did you know Yoroi has been injecting Emurgo pools into top section of its pool list for many years now, illusion of high performance 🧐. While Cardanians routinely do the same thing with their pools in their rankings, and serve API to Yoroi and others 🧐 github.com/Emurgo/adapools-y…

Welcome to all the new delegators that have joined these last few epochs! We're still at 100% with no failed/missed blocks, and the lowest fees Cardano will allow us to have (though we'd love to go lower if minFixedFee was reduced/removed!).

If only there was some way to fix this... like removing minFixFee that small pools have been begging for for years? The system is broken, but rather than fix it, just encourage centralisation? 🤷‍♂️ x.com/adatainment/status/186…

You might have overlooked that if you’re the only whale in a near-empty pool, you’re paying the minimum fee alone. Delegating large stake as @PREEB_Pool suggests would increase the total costs by 20-30x.

When we renamed the pool to "WEN K?" it was expected to be a short-lived joke. Two more years on, still zero movement on K. The whole idea of K and being decentralised seems like a joke 🙃
To match the new pool ticker, we are now @WenKStakePool! 😄

Fixed fees for WEN_K have been dropped from 340 to the new minimum of 170 and variable fee is 0%. There's never been a better time to move 😄 Now, we can we scrap the minimum fixed fee altogether? 🤔 And of course, WEN K??? 😞

What happens now? More silence for another 2 years? 🤔

I think it's poetic that WEN_K is one of the best performing Cardano stake pools when it comes to reliably producing assigned blocks. If only the k parameter was increased and it could get more stake, it might offer one the best returns. #CardanoADA #CardanoCommunity

So over 75% of SPOs (that responded) think K should be increased, like was planned years ago. I wonder what excuses IOG will come up with not to change it this time 🤷‍♂️

How naive. It looks like neither K or minFixedFee will change anytime soon. Cardano is happy with its poor fake decentralisation. This pool will soon be made private and prepare for retirement. So long, thanks for the support!
In light of recent discussions (and positive feedback from SPOs) about minFixedFee/k, WEN_K will stick around a little longer in the hope of seeing these changes soon. If not, and retirement goes ahead - at least 1mo notice will be provided here again.
