Three and a half years ago when I started running this node, I shared that I was doing so in order to be in close touch with the orchestrator/transcoder experience, but that I wouldn’t be running a robust transcoding setup as I didn’t have the hardware. Since then, 99 other node operators have stepped up to provide far more reliable work on the network, and I think it is safe to say that they all help the network far more than this node does. I have been moving much of the stake away from this node recently towards high performers, and I encourage others to do the same - in line with our community goal of activating 66 high performing nodes..
I will be deactivating this node temporarily in order to encourage stake to move towards activating high performing nodes. While I may re-activate it in the coming weeks in order to continue debugging and staying in touch with the node experience, I likely will be doing so with low stake, high reward cuts to discourage delegation, and no guarantees of calling reward. If you have been staked towards this node and need help with identifying a high performing node to move towards, let me know. Happy to help.
