HAZEL Cardano Stakepool

Thanks to all our recently minted new delegators 😻 Here's a cat named "Mango Tango" we gave fluids to today, to celebrate the occasion. Also, we minted a big one for y'all 😸 Can we break 100 delegators again with your help?

HAZEL Stakepool just closed out a banger epoch with around 225% luck and 11 out of 5 expected blocks - a 1% chance of that happening. Weather was bad out here, so some of the relays got boinked, yet we still did make all 11, so strap in for some juicy double rewards in E463 🥩

Another perfect Epoch for HAZEL with 8/8 and 138% luck. 🍀 Lifetime luck ~102% 1️⃣ Single Pool 🗣️ Operator you can actually talk to 🐈 Cats

I am back, frens.

Hey @Support - are you really requiring suspended accounts to send you an email that is impossible to be delivered and as such prevent ANY sort of recovery?

Also cannot respond to the email I get after appealing, because Google says the email address is receiving mails at a higher-than-accepted rate (the support inbox), so ridiculously, there is no way I can currently get unblocked.

FYI: @NilsCodes is currently suspended (reason unknown) and unable to contact the Twitter support. Just in case you are trying to reach me, go this route instead 😵‍💫

Yes, it's also true: If there is an incentive for HAZEL to participate in the Midnight 🌒 network, we will do so. I will learn more about the chain, development on it, as well as SPO incentives on 11/13, when the devnet initiative starts. Looking forward to share what I can 👐

Yes, it is true: HAZEL just lowered its fixed fee to 170 ADA / epoch and changed our variable fee to 3%. All delegators will receive a higher ROA at our current ~5 million delegation. We continue to deliver top pool operations with 101.2% luck over 1100 blocks + 350k ₳ pledge.

As of 12:30 UTC, the proposal to reduce the Cardano min fee to 170 ADA/epoch has been submitted by the CF. IOG+Emurgo to sign next. This change will likely have a visible impact on the SPO landscape. At HAZEL, we have communicated a change to 170 / 3% if the change is accepted.

If you want a peek beyond the veil of PFPs and Degens, I highly recommend minting the first scientific study about Cardano NFTs & holders. The team behind @thesisdysmo ran a number of high quality surveys with more than 3500 responses across our ecosystem. Mint below, 6pm UTC💡

When in Discord, you may still see the bot as HAZELnet - this is because renaming a verified bot takes some time on the Discord side. ℹ Bots that are in more than 100 servers are required to go through a verification process to ensure its users safety and prevent impersonation.

People keep forgetting that you can literally send a Discord DM to an NFT, wallet address or handle, as long as they are verified with Vibrant. Long live /ping send 🏓📩

Building in public starts today for our Catalyst proposal Reach your people - social media and messaging for DAOs & NFT projects Extensive info on our milestones can be found in the link. Compare it to other project's milestones. Let us know what you feel is missing or unclear.

HAZEL Stakepool just minted its 1,000th block ♥️ 🐈 What started as an exploration of crypto technology in May 2021, today celebrates the thousandth time of broadcasting a set of valid blockchain transactions and thereby help securing the decentralized network that is Cardano. I am immensely grateful to have met so many inspiring people on my journey, virtually and in person. I am also extremely happy that I am hanging out with some of the most supportive ones right now at NFTxLV. With the help of our delegators we were able to dedicate time on top of our full time jobs. You enabled us to continue saving cat and kitten lives and since the inception of HAZELpool, we have given 63 cats a new home! 🐈 🏡 On top of that, it enabled us to build one of the most widely used Discord service providers on our chain and showcase a unique new business model. It is hard to express the satisfaction I feel in having stuck around through this market, being with many of you where we all are today, together, and still standing. On to the next five years of focus, fun and felines. Thank you all! Your HAZELpool & Vibrant Team

Since we are getting to the end of the Catalyst voting phase, here a rundown of our second proposal: Imagine Alice and Bob are holders of a governance token for the $NICE DAO. Jeff is a community lead in the DAO. Alice and Bob are busy people, and Alice only has access to email on the go most of the week, while Bob has Discord, but never checks his notifications, since there are so many. He is fairly active on Twitter, though. Jeff is publishing a summary for the newest vote on how to use the treasury in 2024. He presses send, and an email pops up in Alice's inbox. A notification about a Twitter DM with the same content and a link to the proposal appears on Bob's phone, seconds later. The twist: Jeff does not know Alice or Bob. Nor does he know their wallet addresses, email address or Twitter handle. He does not need to, since his DAO uses "Vibrant". This proposal is larger than our other proposal (8 months and asking for 315k ADA), as it includes significant open source contributions and potentially a CIP. We will also leverage existing CIPs like the NMKR/IAMX CIP-0066 for project verification with socials. Overall, the goal is for any verified project (and in the long run, everyone who is in some way verified or an allowlist for the recipient), to use any social media or messaging system to receive or send messages based on wallet addresses. Imagine adamail, but with Twitter DMs, text messages or Telegram or phone notifications via mobile wallets. The sender does not have to know the recipients, and the recipients can decide which projects they are OK with receiving notifications from. NFT projects can tell everyone about the newest achieved milestone, DeFi projects can announce protocol upgrades and Stakepools can invite delegators to raffles. All of this will be backed by an open source website and social media integrations (our main tool is already open source). The main work will be the standardization/CIP, making the site open source as well, adding project verification via CIP-0066 or others, and adding 2-3 messaging integrations) Also, this infrastructure can technically be deployed by anyone, so as we build and improve, if you don't want to use the widely used Vibrant tool, your project can deploy your own version and use the API definitionss to provide messaging with those protocol and to those that sign up on your site. Check it out, ask questions here, and thanks for reading through all this 🤙

@kararesurrect Make sure you stake your $ADA with one or a few @hoskytoken Staking Pool Operators (called RugPools😜) so you get the #ADA rewards of ~4% per year AND also the free $HOSKY rewards, that would be quite significant to optimize your yield 🤩 They're worthless of course 😎
