Hi, my name is Paul and I am a Cardano SPO.
Objectives
To contribute in any way I can to make running a Cardano stake pool fairer, increase the decentralisation and security of Cardano and ensure that delegators are better rewarded for their contribution to Cardano.
Motivations
Being able to attract substantial stake with very little pledge is not healthy for the network. Meanwhile there are SPOs with substantial pledge that are struggling to attract stake, I have experience of this and for a substantial time running OYSTR Pool I would have been better rewarded retiring and delegating elsewhere. This situation is also suboptimal for delegators as SPOs running mutiple pools with minimal stake are hoarding rewards that would be better distributed to ₳ holders.
Qualifications
₳ holder since 2018 and participated in the ITN testnet as a delegator. OYSTR Pool was birthed in March 2021. Member of the xSPO Alliance and CSPA. Mithril signer. Midnight testnet operator. Rosen Bridge operator. Apex Fusion SPO. Essential Cardano contributor. Blockfrost Ice Breaker pool. Preview testnet SPO.
