We have updated our producer and relay nodes to the latest major version 1.27.0. We can confirm all is running well!

From https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases, “Node version 1.27.0 provides important new functionality, including supporting new CLI commands that have been requested by stake pools, providing garbage collection metrics.
It includes the performance fixes for the epoch boundary calculation that were released in node version 1.26.2, plus a number of bug fixes and code improvements.
It also includes many fundamental changes that are needed to prepare for forthcoming feature releases (notably Plutus scripts in the Alonzo era).”

Well 2 months has passed since we decided to start PlebPool and we couldnt be happier. We have reached 15 delegators and over 200K ADA staked thus far. We have found 3 blocks which means for a small pool like ours really nice returns. We continue to keep up with the latest developments!

We have joined various bare metal and mission driven initiatives. We are also putting in place some automated features so that when we find a block we purchase from here [https://www.lifechangersa.org/online-store] a few things for our community here in South Africa. The more staked, the more blocks we statistically should find, and the more people we can feed. Thanks for all the support 🙂

Congratulations to all of our 13 delegators. We successfully minted our 3rd block at 07-05-2021, 19:44 Epoch 264 / Slot 165573

Thanks for all the support thus far (over 159K ADA staked) in making a success of plebpool! We will release more information on our charitable cause soon! People will be feed in South Africa because we are finding blocks 😉

Well done to the 11 delegators who are staked with Plebpool.com [PLBPL]. We can confirm we have mined our second block at 03-05-2021, 09:44 Epoch 263 / Slot 215956

Thanks for all the support thus far (over 150K ADA staked) in making a success of plebpool!

We have worked hard to grow our pool in the last 6 weeks. We are proud to say we have over 135K ADA staked from 10 delegators and just over 10K ADA pledged by us now. We will continue to add to the pool ourselves and attract more plebeians to PlebPool [PBLPL]!

Well done to all our loyal delegators, payouts are showing as Pool 372.8 ₳ and Delegators 379.9 ₳. At Plebpool we are here to grow the pool for our plebeians and will be investing this reward back into the pool! 🙂

We have updated our producer and relay nodes to version 1.26.2 🙂 All is running well!

From https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases, “This point release is a recommended upgrade for all stake pool operators. It is not required for relays or other passive nodes. It ensures that block producing nodes do not unnecessarily re-evaluate the stake distribution at the epoch boundary.”

Well done to everyone who is staked with Plebpool.com [PLBPL] 🙂 We can confirm we have mined our first block at 18-04-2021,4:19 Epoch 260 / Slot 196500

Thanks for all the support thus far in making a success of this! 🙂

A new release of Cardano has prompted us to upgrade our relay nodes and producer nodes from version 1.25.1 to 1.26.1 😉 There seems to be some significant improvements in CPU performance along with some other fixes. Visit https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/releases for release notes on 1.26.1!

We are busy applying for the IOHK community stake pool delegation. https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2021/04/01/announcing-a-new-round-of-community-stake-pool-delegation/. This forms part of our mission to support worthy initiatives like https://www.lifechangersa.org/. Please consider becoming a partner and or supporting their Life Boat project.
