They just have minimum fees set higher than others (or higher than people are willing to pay). Ironically it actually makes them more resistant to spam attacks than a validator accepting zero fee txs. What a ridiculous notion that this makes them egocentric...

Cosmonauts! The planned @cosmos Stargate upgrade needs to be postponed. In case you did already vote on the last proposal - change your vote to "NO" now and vote on the new proposal to delay until the new commit hash is available: mintscan.io/cosmos/proposals…

Can someone please make a CosmosCap site for this?

The #citizencosmos validator voted `yes` on prop 30 and 31 of @cosmoshub. It should be a no-brainer for @cosmosvalidator or anyone esle... in our opinion. Using the community pool to fund development is the same as seeing a doctor early. Let's fund this hub! 🚀

Are there documented reasons for why ETH 2 phase 0 and phase 1 aren't just phases of a testnet? I don't see why real ETH should be locked up & placed at slashing risk for phase 0 and 1, when they aren't securing anything?

Glad to help! Excited for Kava relaunch! It'll be the second mainnet that @SikkaTech will be running a validator on!

(01/04) KAVA MAINNET RE-LAUNCH UPDATE: While preparing for our re-launch, @sunnya97 helped the Kava validator community identify a potential security vulnerability that could possibly blame validators for double-signing from the previous chain.

My account got locked because I stupidly put my birthday. And it says I wasn’t 13 when I made the account, and so it locked my account... because of something from over 9 years ago... -- The man formerly known as @sunnya97

Sikka asked ICF for a "token of recognition” for contributions to the @cosmos community. Is @interchain_io trolling @SikkaTech with their delegation of 1,917.141111 $ATOM? Let's decode: if 0=A, 1=B.. ..then 19 17 14 11 11 = #TROLL github.com/interchainio/dele…

JK of @stakedotfish is introducing “#staking is part of #DeFi” at @nonce_community. He has also covered #DelegationVoucher @cosmos, a project by @ChorusOne and @SikkaTech

If a @Cosmos Validator is hosted and essentially being subsidized by a government institution, and that Validator's offering 0% commission, would it be reasonable to try to fork out that Validator?

I also want to know more how people think about this. What if @SikkaTech and @forbole both raise the fee? Will that be a good move? Or will this only shift the future delegations to Sparkpool instead, which to me is also unhealthy.

This feels unhealthy. I think far too many Atom holders are choosing to delegate to @SikkaTech . I think you somewhat urgently need to raise fees @sunnya97

Are you a good citizen delegator of the @cosmos network? Take the time to become familiar with governance and actively participate. We collectively have the power to both grant and rescind power from the validators *if* we take our role seriously.
