NBX&ANP WMT TOKEN DISTRIBUTION TO DELEGATORS

This valentines ANP and http://NBX.com wanted to give back something to our delegators. We really love the project World Mobile and the new cool Vending Machine by @seal_pool (https://adaseal.eu/) so we will experiment with World Mobile tokens as delegator rewards:

Token rewards will be 1 World Mobile token (WMT) to each delegator with atleast 100 ADA delegated to the pool and that have been a delegator for atleast 1 epoch already. We will also give 0.00002 WMT per ada staked per epoch for delegators with more than 100 ADA.

Token pool is currently 694 World Mobile tokens so the rewards might last around 4-5 Epochs and is an experiment. Big shoutout to @seal_pool for making Vending Machine possible and also check out his pool https://adaseal.eu

Rewards earned can be checked on https://vm.adaseal.eu where you get instructions on how to claim as well. Keep in mind there will be a transaction fee to claim the WMT in ADA.

This is a tryout and an experiment. We love to support Vending Machine and how Vending Machine is supporting Single Pool Operators. However there might be dragons and things might break.

Token rewards is subject to change. It would cost a bit to send ada to multiple wallets, then claim the WMT then send back WMT to a single wallet so we believe the 1 WMT per 100 ADA delegator will not be abused but we might adjust in the future just in case.

Finally the rewards needs to be claimed within 10 Epochs or they will go back to the pools balance for future distributions. You can however accumulate up to this point and then do a single withdraw of rewards.

ANP ADDS TIMESERVER

In an effort to optimize our setup even further (we allready have data center grade network cards and multiple fiber connections) ANP have today installed a NTP timeserver to help reduce the time it takes to synchronize time with the rest of the world. This helps with blockpropagation and keeping below the recommended 100% within 5s

NTP Timeserver cuts timesynchronization from 10-20milliseconds to around 1 millisecond.

ADA NORTH POOL PLUTUS ATTENDEE

I am attending the Plutus Cohort #3 so I can better understand smart contracts on Cardano. Week 1 was a lot of struggles due to stubborn me wanting to make it easy to run through windows with windows wsl (a way to run a linux subsystem inside windows itself) (most of the cohorts seems to have gone down the route of virtual machine to run ubuntu or such) but I finally got it set up and with a good IDE with VSCode connected to the linux subsystem so I can do the workflow in windows and compile and run in Ubuntu on the same computer. Week 2 is so far great fun and I am sure Week 3 is going to be fun as well. Lars Brünjes is a great teacher and the community is already doing guides for further understanding.

The Plutus course will be a great suppliment to the Atala Prism course I finished where I learned to work with decentralized identifiers through Atala Prism and sets me up to do more building in the ecosystem in the future.
