I have 50 GPUs that have been offline for over a year. Over the past few months I've been shutting down my few asics to bring GPU mining back. Are you? Are you paying attention or did you give up?

Six production and preview nodes upgraded from 10.5.1 to 10.5.3. Have not done the production relays yet, but they are on 10.2.x. They were scheduled for upgrading this epoch, but may wait one or two more for the dust to settle.

It's so weird having ALL of my GPUs offline right now. But my old ZCash ASICs have come out of storage....

All delegators - All of the ALLEY stake pool nodes will be down (well, one at a time) for maintenance and upgrades between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm EST on Friday May 3. #cardano #SPO

Does this happen to any other #crypto miners? Everything was smooth and stable for like a month and I got bored. So... digging into some way early spec mining stuff, and setting up a #cardano db-sync node just to have new stuff to work on.

Project for May - I'll be adding a #cardano db-sync node to my environment. I have ideas for a couple of widgets I'd like to add to the website, but without the db node, some of the data elements are difficult to get.

Welcome and thanks again to all the new delegators to ALLEY stake pool on #cardano! We are still small but growing thanks to you. Based on delegation, we should average about 3 blocks per epoch, and this is growing, but in epoch 479 we hit 6! You guys rock!

Okay miners - anyone else feel like they spend a lot of hours maintaining their farm to keep that "passive income" flowing? I know I do🤣🤣#crypto #mining

My testnet pool has been down for a while. Node version 8.9.x makes some changes to the network stack, so I have rebuilt it on node v8.9.1 and am currently testing. Looking at early May to upgrade the production pool. #cardano #SPO

I totally get that some people make a long-term investment and don't look at it for a while. But this still seems like a lot. Some of these pools just retired recently, some over 2 years ago and still have delegation. Perhaps some portion is lost keys/wallets/etc. Still ...

After testing, retesting, and being confident with the process, I was still a little nervous about my migrated block producing node. Watched it create its first block last night and it was smooth as silk. #cardano #SPO

The ALLEY stake pool has multiple slots assigned for producing blocks in Cardano epoch 478. PoolTool shows the correct active stake of 2.2M, but CExplorer shows only 339K, which is affecting the "expected blocks" calculation - the correct calculation is 2.1 expected blocks.

ALLEY is growing! In the past month, we've grown from just 55K delegation to over 2M! However, it takes time for that to all become active. Stick with me and in a couple of epochs we should start producing blocks (and rewards!) in every epoch. #cardano #stakepool

Just added another node to the ALLEY #stakepool. It is in a datacenter with more redundancy and resilience than I currently have for power/internet. This will be a private relay for now, and after testing this week the block producing node will be migrated to it. #SPO #Cardano

This morning someone came in with a new delegation of 1.6M ADA!! Wow! Thank you so much, and welcome to the ALLEY #StakePool on #Cardano!

Welcome new delegators to ALLEY! I appreciate your support. I've been maintaining my small pool for almost 3 years to support the ecosystem. March was amazing with blocks in 2 consecutive epochs! Your delegation will help hit them more often! #cardano #stakepool
