Epoch 338 Result<\/u>It is impressive to see how determined ADA-delegators are holding on to their coins and to see this bear market through. 73% of all ADA is still staked, and looking at 4ADA and F4ADA delegators, more of them seem to be being the 'dip' these days rather than selling it. \ud83d\udcaa<\/b><\/i>Mind you, the worst might not be over for bitcoin just yet, so perhaps keep some dry powder on the sideline just in case! 4ADA: 87% (22\/24)Occasionally, block propagation is no longer as fast as it was a few months ago, so whenever blocks are scheduled within just a second or two between each other, there is an increased chance that blocks are orphaned.

Epoch 342 Result<\/u>4ADA: 115% (30\/34)Decent rewards, despite no less than 4 failed blocks this epoch. In two cases, the next block was scheduled just 1 second later. Which sometimes is too short, depending on the propagation delays between relays. The picture at the top shows an example.Two other blocks were lost to other slot leaders with blocks scheduled at the exact same time. We statistically are supposed to win half of them, but this time the odds apparently were against us...F4ADA: 115% (7\/7)With less blocks scheduled there is less chance to miss any, but if it happens, the impact on rewards is greater.We have had the pleasure of welcoming quite a few new delegators these past few weeks, but I'd particularly like to highlight the arrival of a new major delegator, strengthening 4ADA with no less than 5.74M ADA! \ud83c\udf89<\/b><\/i> As always, please get in touch whenever you have any questions, feedback or input!Rewards payment (from ep.341 result<\/u>)4ADA: 111% (29\/31)F4ADA: 115% (7\/7)<\/div>\n\n
