P.S. due to holidays we're a bit late with our epoch report every now and then, but no worries, the pools are under strict surveillance 24/7. In fact, we're now ready for Chang HF as all of our relays and block producers are upgraded to the latest version.💪

Since we started minting blocks during the very first shelley-epoch on mainnet, just over 4 years ago [wháát has it been 4 years already?—yes it has!] , we never missed an epoch report ...until epoch 503. Sorry for that folks! We're on vacation and it somehow just slipped through 😁. Pools have been and still are minting flawlessly though. We're ready to hardfork!!

Happy staking ☀️

Haha, I now see it. Turns out we never missed epoch 503—it's there, i just posted it in the pool talk channel instead of the Pool Updates channel 🤦‍♂️
