Both pools have been at 0% since early this year, performance has consistently been up with the top-100 best performing pools, and I will ensure it stays that way.Going from 0% to 1% is hardly noticeable for delegators, and definitely less than the average price swing of ADA during a single day. However it makes a big difference for us in making this job worthwhile and paying up for rising fixed and variable expenses.4ADA will stay at 1% for at least 6 months, until April next year. F4ADA remains unchanged at 0% variable fee. Its rewards are more volatile, but lifetime ROS performance if on par with 4ADA, so if a zero-fee pool is a must-have, you know where to go! \ud83d\ude09<\/b><\/i>During next epoch I will write a blog post which outlines 4ADA and F4ADA's recent performance in more detail, and quantifies how a 1% variable fee increase affects your rewards.Rest assured that our pools will always be priced moderately and competitively.

Epoch 368 Result<\/u>4ADA: 85% (32\/36) - slot battles: 2 won, 2 lost; height battles: 2 lostF4ADA: 156% (10\/10)phew, that was quite a stormy epoch for 4ADA with many battles!Slot battles just happen and they are a normal part of life. Height battles are more frustrating as they are indicative of less than optimal network performance, almost always caused by blocks getting propagated slower than the shortest possible 1-second delay between scheduled leadership slots. I think we are quite frankly doing an outstanding job on this front, but there are slower nodes out there, and sometimes it's just too hard to get a block from one corner of the world to the other in under a sec.Rewards payment (from ep367 result)<\/u>4ADA: 98% (36\/38)F4ADA: 142% (8\/8)Epoch 369 max rewards<\/u>4ADA: 62% \ud83d\ude35<\/b><\/i>F4ADA: 94% \ud83d\ude0f<\/b><\/i>Oops, it is what it is, not too exciting numbers, at least F4ADA can look back on a couple of great epochs the past few weeks. 4ADA could really use a big boost though.

Interesting fact about the slot battles: they always were supposed to have random outcome, but in reality -before the recent vasil hardfork- the smaller pool would always prevail. Since the vasil hardfork, slot battles are now dealt with in a slightly different way and smaller pools no longer have the benefit of winning the battle against a bigger pool. This change is now meeting stiff resistance from the SPO-community, since a lost slot battle has a far bigger negative on small pools with just a few blocks per epoch than it has on large pools with many blocks. Let's see if IOHK are going to be inclined to restore the pre-vasil behavior in a future update...<\/div>\n\n
