50% of stake now controlled by only 21 entities.
Nothing wrong with that at all 😬
#Cardano #CardanoCommunity #CardanoADA #ada

We would like to share with you positive information on decentralisation of Cardano but it is NOT positive, things are getting worse. Today we ingested last 35 epochs of Wealth Distribution and we provide see MAV (Minimum Attack Vector) going down.
Data doesn't lie.

Yup.
Aggelos/IOHK need to take into account social factors/dynamics as the current system design doesn't accommodate for the power of social media.
If I wanted to be a part of a system where tens of people control it, I'd go back to a PoW chain.
We are still in somewhat centralized era (without Voltaire), I think it would be healthy (my humble opinion) that IOG and Cardano Foundation would somehow via social media and verbally / written form advocate for SPOs...
#CardanoCommunity whilst the Block and Plutus script size increase is exciting… Has anyone heard of any updates regarding a0 and k too?
@benohanlon @timbharrison
#Cardano #ADA $ADA

Now the conversation and discussion has died down, we just wanted to thank everyone for their input
🤞 IOG reps will answer the original question regarding updates and maybe even address some specific points from others
@benohanlon @timbharrison @IOHK_Charles @InputOutputHK
(2/9) This is not #decentralization, if ~23 #SPO's are minting 50% of the blocks! Multipools are there, and they have all the right to exist, because it is a free market. But the #Daedalus "ranking" is the major drive for this to have happened. Because no "newbie" is going to
The 5-epoch long ISO hasn’t even started (not live until DEX launches) and SundaeSwap has already fked up Cardano’s decentralization.
Multi-poolers like @cryptorecruitr and @intocryptoverse have already spun up new pools.
Small pool operators don’t stand a chance
damn you are turning into something buddy , running saturated multiple pools ? greed doesn't leave anybody does it ? don't be a parasite to Cardano's decentralization . well I will be no longer in bloom pool ✌️
🚨!! @Cardano $ADA holders !!🚨
I have decided to retire the H4SH stake pool at the turn of Epoch 319 (~Fri, Feb 4th), which means anyone delegating to my pool will need to move delegation in order to continue earning rewards!
The obvious question is: why am I doing this? 👇🏼🧵
at least this year's Cardano Summit will be less expensive
fewer SPOs to feed
1/ POOL CLOSING 🚨
AFRIK will retire at the end of epoch 319, please move your delegation before Feb 9th if you don't want to lose rewards
AFRIK started on December 31st of last year, my wife and I stayed late at night to create the pool and the website cardano.afrikpool.org
Please select only single pools going forward...otherwise you continue to recentralize Cardano.
This comes from the heart as a holder of Cardano, not an SPO who's decided to never be a scooper.
It's almost funny how some cardano multipool operators are concerned about centralization now that they didn't make it to top 30 pools for sundaeswap. Suddenly decentralization matters 🤣 It will be interesting to see how things unfold when bigger players join.
I'm not bashing YouTubers. I'm just pointing out a trend. Decentralization is not built-in to Cardano. Delegators must make it happen. And currently, they're not.
4/Medium term: decentralisation. Our Nakamoto coefficient is declining, large pools are capturing ever more stake
An alphabet agency being able to call 20 people to control Cardano is not a good thing
This is our core competence, if we give it away it’s game over!
1⃣1⃣WHO CARES ABOUT DECENTRALIZATION?
Govs & corps will only move their stuff on #Cardano when they have assurances that a third party can't meddle with it, ergo if you want widespread adoption you need decentralization, otherwise, it's cheaper to use centralized AWS servers

MPOs aren't necessarily bad, SOME add a lot of value. Would you stop raking in $ because of twitter nagging? 🤷♂️
The onus is on #Cardano to change parameters to incentivize the little guys. I was legit shocked to learn how much stake is required to regularly mint blocks 👀
How's that #CardanoCommunity elephant in the room issue going? Y'all still delegating to multi-pool ops?
Great. Thanks for not helping #Cardano #Decentralization.
What's next? Filtering out/Prioritizing txs on the network in favor of the projects MPOs are associated with? Gtfo
#CardanoCommunity right now:
"It's SundaeSwap's fault for launching. Omg network congestion. Omg what a disaster."
"Small SPOs vs (not fair) ISPOs"
"Small SPOs vs MPOs"
"Hydra will save us"
How about we all stfu,get along & put our heads down and keep working?
#Ada #Cardano

Cardano needs to be designed better. I've changed how I talk about MPOs for the most part as I believe it's ineffectual and long term more damaging to Cardano.
IOG needs to fix it.
WHEN this design flaw is fixed, we should be able to have a beer with someone from the other side
sSPOs should increase the pressure on IOG to increase k to 1500 and remove the fixed fee completely.
Saturation decreases to 22.66mio.
Pledge matters three times as much.
The rankings'd actually work as intended w/o fixed fee.
It's all IOG being slow on those changes.
Hot take 🌶
SSPOs are (currently) no more than a marketing tool for #Cardano, IOG and the large MSPOs.
#CardanoCommunity #CardanoADA #ada
QTing this, bcos the recent atmos within the #CardanoCommunity has been fairly tense with the SSPO vs MPO debate.
Yes SSPO inc us are losing stake to ISPO model, but #Cardano got a working flagship Dex in sundaeswap.
Zoom out, see the big pic. We are discussing, keep it civil
How much money do you think the US government could set aside to bribe 20-30 multi-stake pool operators to hijack an entire blockchain?
Food for thought. Goodnight.
If parameters wont change (we waited so long for this), I will have to work around the parameters instead and give external rewards. Currently the ISPO + Multi pool model is killing a lot of great operators and I have personally seen many leave the last two epochs.
Ok...lets be honest here
The @SundaeSwap #ISPO model is a total disaster for the majority of #Cardano #stakepools and it is taking a sledgehammer to stakepool ecosystem and network
Happy for the launch, but jeeez....
