Oil prices hit a 3-year high, natural gas demand far outstripping supply as northern hemisphere approaches winter - any surprise that China renews crack-down on BTC mining as they face an energy crisis? The world needs a more energy efficient crypto. #ProofOfStake #Cardano

@Sam52608971 @benohanlon @IOHK_Charles We have an upcoming change in the rewards formula (a0 pledge benefit) that will move in this direction: making the impact of pledge proportional to the size of the pool, rather than the *maximum* size of a pool.

Out of the 2300 pools only around 450 have produced 5 blocks are more, so decentralization is still a long way to go. I would like to hear your thoughts on - as the risk of delegating to a new pool is higher, the RoS should also be higher? @benohanlon @IOHK_Charles

@bigpey K is not changing in the short term; it will not happen until after the pledge benefit (a0) change goes live. Early Q3 is the guidance I have right now for that, given the other work in the pipeline.

Cardano’s brand identity will evolve as the blockchain reaches new milestones. Our brand journey has just began, and will evolve hand-in-hand with Cardano as the blockchain adoption becomes widespread. Watch the ICAD Award-nominated brand's animation here: youtu.be/E7NbPnaM7ng

@RealSaidov @jdorman81 @IOHK_Charles That's a longer discussion than a tweet. Marginal utility is probably a better framework than DCF for valuation though, so asking the wrong question. People over focus on price; 100% more thrilled about the price stability vs market downside this month.

@5050isaloss @marshosaurus This is what I see: a couple different options and one of them is "metadata". (But I agree, this is a huge problem for crypto - the answer to "how to you achieve financial inclusion?" is not "start by downloading a full node wallet", we really need to lower the bar.)

@cool_stake @rickmccracken Tangential to your point: the @shawn_mcmurdo CIP focuses on making smaller levels of pledge more meaningful, but because it is smaller pledge levels, it has a much reduced impact on how quickly the reserve gets drawn down.

@rickmccracken Increasing a0 means that rewards for SPOs and delegators will be reduced keeping the same inflation rate. Currently with a0=0.3 compound annual rewards before pool fees are around 5.6% If a0=0.7 annual rewards will drop to 4.3% If a0=1 annual rewards will drop to 3.65%

@awildthingy @rickmccracken a0 represents additional rewards given to pools with a higher amount of pledge. It decides whether it is more efficient to split pledge across multiple pools (for extra delegation) or to concentrate it in a single pool for enhanced rewards.

@rickmccracken Remind me what the implications are for a0. I understand k but cannot remember what raising a0 will do for the game theory.
