UPDATE 5/17/22
Hey delegators, we’re excited to introduce long term milestones for our Orchestrator!
For every additional 25,000 LPT staked to our node, we’ll reduce our reward cut by 5% until we reach 15% (currently 35%), so the more you stake the more you stand to make 
We’re currently sitting at 57,721 LPT staked, which means we need to reach 82,721 LPT staked to hit our first milestone.
Additional milestones may be added once we reach 15%.
Thank you and happy staking!
UPDATE 5/31/22
We’ve lowered our reward and fee cut for the first week of June! We’ll return to our dynamic rate (which you can learn more about in the above post) on Tuesday, June 7th.
Changes:
Reward cut: 35% to 10%
fee cut: 24% to 20%
Thanks!
UPDATE 6/7/22
Our node’s fee/reward cut has returned to their previous dynamic rates:
55k LPT staked - 35%
83k LPT staked - 30%
108k LPT staked - 25%
133k LPT staked - 20%
158k LPT staked - 15%
Thanks!
UPDATE 6/20/22
We’ve made some major updates to our infrastructure.
Since launching our Orchestrator in November last year, we’ve scaled from a single residential node to 6 machines spread around the world. Managing 6 nodes with a standard Orchestrator setup has proven to be extremely inefficient and we knew that if we wanted to keep scaling, we’d have to make some adjustments.
All of our nodes primary functions can now be managed through a single UI, making updating livepeer versions and performing general maintenance a much smoother experience. Huge props to Mike Zupper for his infinite wisdom. We wouldn’t have been able to make this work without his help.
Curious how we’re running livepeer? Check out the guide
P.S. Don’t forget about our dynamic rates:
55k LPT staked - 35%
83k LPT staked - 30%
108k LPT staked - 25%
133k LPT staked - 20%
158k LPT staked - 15%
Happy staking!
UPDATE 6/28/22
We’re switching DNS providers which may interrupt our transcoding workflow as well connection to our website and email. We’ll update this thread once completed.
Thank you
UPDATE 6/29/22
After some extreme instability with Arbitrum we’re back online and running smoothly!
UPDATE 7/4/22
We welcome our 2 new delegators.
Time to update our dynamic rates!

UPDATE 7/30/22
We’ve been hard at work building out our infrastructure, expanding significantly considering that we started with one 2080Ti in a home PC less than a year ago.
We received a healthy chunk of stake, crushing our first milestone and pushing us to keep building.
Added a second “on-demand” GPU in Chicago, which allows us to increase capacity within seconds while remaining extremely cost-efficient. We hope to automate this process soon.
Improved our hardware specifications in Singapore.
In collaboration with community members, we wrote an in-depth guide for orchestrators looking to scale effectively. This became our second grant to get accepted (a video tutorial is currently in the works).
We saw early signs of adoption from serious broadcasters, showing us the importance of infrastructure reliability. We will continue to compete and learn as we go so we can serve these broadcasters as they enter the network.
All in all, it’s been a really educational month for us and we’re excited to keep going!
Huge thanks to the community for teaching us so much along the way
Psssst, have you heard about our dynamic rates?
55k LPT staked - 35%
83k LPT staked - 30%
108k LPT staked - 25% < We are here.
133k LPT staked - 20%
158k LPT staked - 15%
UPDATE 8/15/22
Thanks to an increase in stake, we can lower our reward cut by another 5%!
55k LPT staked - 35%
83k LPT staked - 30%
108k LPT staked - 25%
133k LPT staked - 20% < We are here.
158k LPT staked - 15%
A big thank you to our delegators for supporting our efforts 
On another note, we finalized a recent education-based grant that helps orchestrators scale with Docker and Portainer. Here’s a full video walkthrough voiced and recorded by @MikeZupper :
UPDATE 9/4/22
In August we:
Hit another staking milestone. Thank you delegators, you rock!
Updated our Grafana dashboard/workflow, increasing efficiency while providing a cleaner frontend.
Authored a new guide, helping orchestrators improve their Arbitrum RPC infrastructure. This is our 3rd grant to be approved! Another team effort with @MikeZupper (video coming soon).
Set up a new node to serve the São Paulo ingest region.
We continue to experiment and improve our infrastructure, with September’s focus being on proxying Livepeer.
Just one more staking milestone to go before we decide what kind of incentives we can put together next
55k LPT staked - 35%
83k LPT staked - 30%
108k LPT staked - 25%
133k LPT staked - 20% < We are here
158k LPT staked - 15%
UPDATE 9/9/22
Thanks to our delegators we’ve crushed every one of our staking milestones. Delegators now receive 85% of daily reward calls and 76% of ETH fees.
Note: Our ETH cut is not set in stone and may be adjusted in the future depending on market factors to help cover expenses. We’ll always post here and on our website at least a day before making any changes.
As we continue to grow, we’ll think of more ways to incentivize delegators

108k LPT staked - 25%
133k LPT staked - 20%
158k LPT staked - 15%
173k LPT staked < We are here
UPDATE 9/22/22
UPCOMING FEE CUT CHANGE
As suggested in our last post, our fee cut is not set in stone, and on October 1st we plan to raise it to 45%. We feel the need to make this adjustment due to a few factors:
Rising operational costs due to the ongoing energy crisis
Shrinking daily rewards due to increased participation in the network
General market sentiment
We believe this is still a competitive split, and ideally would like to lower it again as soon as it’s feasible.
Important: If you are currently delegating with us and have ANY questions or concerns about the upcoming adjustment, reach out on Discord (Authority_Null#8136) or via email (Authority_Null@anlivepeer.com).
Thanks!
Congrats on reaching your recent staking milestone - your work is awesome. Good on you! 
UPDATE 10/04/22
We’d like to introduce some new long term staking milestones.
For every 75k LPT staked, we’ll lower our reward cut by 1%, and 2% when we reach 1m LPT staked. We really want the milestones to be a challenge this time around!
175k LPT staked - 15% < We are here
250k LPT staked - 14%
325k LPT staked - 13%
400k LPT staked - 12%
475k LPT staked - 11%
550k LPT staked - 10%
725k LPT staked - 9%
800k LPT staked - 8%
875k LPT staked - 7%
950k LPT staked - 6%
1m LPT staked - 4%
Happy staking!
UPDATE 11/17/22
Our nodes have been running smoothly for the last 2 months, not a whole lot of intervention or tweaking needed!
Last week we had our best day yet, and although a lot of the work increase as of late is most likely due to Livepeer Inc’s internal testing, it’s still good to see that our infrastructure can handle a healthy amount of concurrent streams.
We’ve also managed to take the number 2 spot for 90 day trailing fees on the network - a big milestone for us! Huge thanks to our delegators.
We’re paying close attention to the features like VOD coming to the network, and are always looking for ways to improve our setup. We’re excited to see how Nvidia’s 40 series, Netints GPU’s, and even possibly Intel’s GPU’s perform on the network in the near future.
We’re also continuing to work on community projects that aim to improve Livepeer’s ecosystem as a whole and we’re excited to share more when the time is right.
Don’t forget about our dynamic reward cut The more we can get staked to our node, the lower it will go!
180k LPT staked - 15% < We are here
250k LPT staked - 14%
325k LPT staked - 13%
400k LPT staked - 12%
475k LPT staked - 11%
550k LPT staked - 10%
725k LPT staked - 9%
800k LPT staked - 8%
875k LPT staked - 7%
950k LPT staked - 6%
1m LPT staked - 4%
UPDATE 12/01/23
Happy new year!
We are pleased to report that our node experienced significant growth in both delegators and operational efficiency in 2022. We anticipate this trend to continue in 2023 and are excited to see the continued growth of our node and Livepeer as a whole.
Additionally, we are gearing up for the launch of a new open transcoding pool, created by members of the Livepeer community. If you are interested in becoming a transcoder, we encourage you to check out video-miner.com to learn more.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to another successful year ahead.
UPDATE 2/06/2023
Updates may be a lot leaner this year, but that’s simply because our infrastructure is stable and we’re happy with what we have running at the moment (stating that our infra is stable usually results in something breaking in the following days).
We’re always looking to improve though, and this week we upgraded our monitoring stack to include Loki! This means we now have advanced logging visualized in a dashboard, making troubleshooting, as well as gathering protocol insights, so much easier. This is thanks to @MikeZupper and @speedybird, who worked on a community grant that guides Orchestrators through the entire installation of Loki.
We’re also working actively with a team of Orchestrators on the Video Miner transcoding pool, which is currently in closed beta.
It’s safe to say we’re doubling down on Livepeer this year.
Don’t forget to stake with our node. The more stake, the lower we’ll drop our reward cut, which means more rewards for delegators.
UPDATE 4/01/2023
12:00PM MT
Just a quick update, we’re taking EU offline for approximately 1 hour while we perform some necessary maintenance.
12:30PM MT
EU is back online. Our LA server has been taken offline while we move to a more reliable provider. Traffic from LA will be routed to our NY node until the migration is complete.
UPDATE 4/02/2023
Our LA node is back online
