It is with a heavy heart that I write this, but I have made the decision to shut down REETG 😔 I have been thinking about his for the last few weeks, and unfortunately after weighing everything up I feel it is the right decision. The pool has always been running at a loss, and I knew that would be the case to start with, I knew it was not going to be easy to attract delegators - I just didn't realise how difficult it would be. With the recent lowering of the min pool cost too this now makes it even less viable - yes I know, I could have kept the cost the same, but then I risk losing more delegators to more competitive pools. Over the last 1 year and 7 months its become very clear that you'll only do well if: - Your pool has a high ROA which for small pools who don't mint blocks regularly is pretty much impossible - You spend all day online constantly engaging which I don't have the time to do - You're actively building on #Cardano, which again I don't have the time to do due to my job Just running a stake pool for many people doesn't seem like a viable option, and that's fine, it was just hard for me to admit. I can't keep losing money on this. It may be better during a bull market, it might not, who knows, but I can't keep waiting around to find out. It feels like the odds are too stacked against me, and honestly seeing some epochs with 0 blocks, or having an epoch with only 2 and then losing one to a slot battle is soul destroying and it does ware me down. You then have the recent actions of the CF which to be honest left a really sour taste in my mouth. I love the Cardano community, and I will still be around and doing what I can to promote Cardano on my personal account, I just can't continue to operate a pool. I'd like to say a huge thank you to my delegators who have stuck with me, please don't feel like I am saying you didn't do enough, you're amazing! It's just I've realised the SPO life isn't for me. Here are some great SSPO's that I'd recommend staking with: @HephyPool @Upstream_ada @RcadaPool @GrahamsNoPlus1 @HUG_Pool Again, thank you all so much, this isn't goodbye from me, just goodbye from REETG, I will still be around on my personal profile. Wow this has been emotional to write out, forgive me if I don't reply for a while, I need to wind down and just absorb this a bit.

Charles also said: "When I get back to Colorado, I'll do a series of community interviews, a whiteboard video, and also some AMAs on Midnight and related topics" #Cardano
Midnight gets part of it's security from Cardano. The native asset of Midnight is a Cardano native asset. Pretty significant link

REETG will help run midnight, if it's possible. No details have really been released yet, so we have no idea if there will be a barrier to entry etc. Hopefully there isn't, I'm really looking forward to help support it and getting in there early. #Cardano #Midnight

The Coinecta FISO FAQ is now live. What does it mean for REETG to be a reserve pool? "Reserve Stakepools are not included in the CNCT FISO yet! Each time one of the approved pools reaches 5M in live stake, we will upgrade one of the reserve pools to the active pools list."

REETG plans to support Midnight too, so delegators will receive ADA and DUST. No details on the other possible token... Yet. 🌐 cexplorer.io/pool/pool1ds7rt… #Cardano #Yorkshire
I'm releasing the podcast with the CEO of @MidnightNtwrk tomorrow. Here's a little detail to get you excited. If you stake your $ADA to a pool running midnight, you'll earn additional tokens. Bloom will help run Midnight, delegates will earn tokens from Midnight! #Cardano
