NoShould stakePoolTargetNum (k) be raised from 500 to 1000? (SPO poll)Submitted epoch 656View rationaleActive16d ago
I am voting ❌NO on this raising k to 1000, here are some of my reasons in random order:
- total misconception of where redelegated ada will flow. it will NOT flow to small/tiny pools. if even, stake will flow to midrange pools near the new saturation point of ~35M. not to pools below 10M imo.
- not sustainable with current ada price, typical pool values generate low rewards for spos. keep it sustainable for the current pools, don't make it unsustainable for all pools.
- extremely big risk to force delegators to redelegate during this bear market. rewards on cardano are generally low nowadays. i predict that many stakers will leave the cardano ecosystem as a whole, because there are options with a much higher roi out there.
- the pools that will suffer from such a change are community pools that have done nothing wrong in the past 6 years, they worked hard to gain stake and delegators over time. such a k change to 1000 would drive them into saturation. which hurt the delegators of such community pools a big time.
- changing k to 1000 is like stealing staking from large community pools, enterprise pools simply split. it does not hurt them.
- enterprise pools with full delegation control will simply double there pools. larger community pools will suffer.
- i wanna see CIP50 play out first. we got it to be implemented, now we should not frontrun its activation and pledge depending saturation level playout with a k change.
- we have a good decentralization, we dont need more pools
- some are suggesting to split pools, which only drives up hardware and costs. better if an SPO can run one pool instead of two pools with half the amount for stake each.
NoReduce minPoolCost to 75 adaSubmitted epoch 654View rationaleActive19d ago
As a DRep and SPO, i am voting ❌NO on this proposal, because we need a minMargin parameter of at least 5% first before thinking about to lower minPoolCost even more. Does not make any sense to me, there is still a threshold which puts small pools in a disadvantage. Getting rid of minPoolCost while introduction minMargin is the way to go! But i am against any lowering of minPoolCost without introducing a minMargin parameter with a sustainable number parameter first.

No2025 Cardano NCLDecided epoch 561View rationaleClosed1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ❌NO on this proposal, because i already voted YES on the last one which passed yesterday.
Its a LIMIT, the actual Budget/Proposal-Buckets have to be approved by the dReps anyway.
Yes2025 Net Change LimitDecided epoch 554revotedView rationaleClosed1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ✅YES for this proposal.
It clearly defines the timespan of the NCL: 'The 2025 Net Change Limit will begin at the start of Epoch 532 and continue for 72 epochs, finishing at the conclusion of Epoch 604 in December 2025'
It also defines what the NCL is - Its the total maximum amount we can withdrawal from the treasury during this time period. Independent from the inflow into the treasury via like tau or a treasury donation.
THIS IS A MAXIMUM LIMIT - similar to the guardrails!
This does NOT mean, that we have to spend all of that amount within the given timespan. The DReps are still voting on the Budget/Treasury Withdrawals that are coming along, and we DO NOT have to agree on all of them.
So the NCL is really a max. limit boundary per definition.
I support this proposal so we can move forward with the Budget and Treasury-Withdrawals.

NoSet 2025 Net Change Limit of 300M ADA, 2026 Net Change Limit of 250M ADADecided epoch 553View rationaleClosed1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ✅NO at this point in time, because we are lacking a fundamental definition about what this 'Net Change Limit' actually is. We need a written and approved text for that first. Is is just the Sum of all Treasury Withdrawals in a year? Is it the change of the absolute Treasury balance which also includes new inflow from tau taxes? When does a 'year' actually start? From the moment a proposal like this is voted on, from the first action doing a Treasury Withdrawal, from the moment the first Rewards are getting transfered? I'am sorry, but this is too unspecific for me.
YesDecrease Treasury Tax from 20% to 10%Decided epoch 546View rationaleExpired1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ✅YES on the governance action gov_action1js2...fym0d7 'Decrease Treasury Tax from 20% to 10%'. The decision to set tau to 20% from the beginning was a wise one. It helped to build up a massive Treasury from the beginning, that was the idea behind the relative high value of 20%. So, now, years later, we have a massive Treasury. This action is within the guardrails, these guardrails were set in a wise way. I am in favour to reduce Tau to 10% to also put pressure on the expenses that are planned for the next year. Remember, we can always increase it back to 20% or even more if we like. The increase in staking rewards for delegators is a nice outcome of this change, we have to keep an eye on our delegators. We are a delegated proof of stake blockchain. I wanna see more people start staking on Cardano, not delegators leaving Cardano for other blockchains that may offer higher staking rewards.
YesDefining the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyondDecided epoch 549View rationaleClosed1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ✅YES on the current info action. This roadmap sounds solid to me as it is written. I think the comments about paralellization are important, the node was not optimized in that manner forever. We all have modern CPUs, lets utilize there full potential. Multi-Node development is important yes, but please don't overdue it, would just slow down our upgrade path imo. I would have loved to read a mention about post-quantum research in there, but i also think this is out of scope for a 2025 roadmap. I don't see a blocker in this one atm..
YesCardano Constitution to Replace the Interim ConstitutionDecided epoch 542revotedView rationaleEnacted1y ago
As a DRep, i have voted ✅YES on the current proposal to enact and ratify the DELEGATE ENDORSED CARDANO CONSTITUTION. We may not be 100% there, but this version of the constitution is pretty damn good imo. We can always debate on small tweaks and updates in the future to have a V2 constitution, and than a V3 consitution, etc. But i don't see a blocker in this one atm..
