Cardano Stakepool Performance
Proven ability to mint blocks
Cardano is now fully decentralised as of March 31st 2021, this means more blocks will be minted by stakepools like ADA Farm
As we move along the Cardano roadmap more and more transactions will be performed on the blockchain eventually the rewards will be funded by the transaction fees.

ADA Farm
There are now two brilliant sites which have been created and offer an in depth view of pool performance along with rewards and pool.pm awesome storyline, check them out:

Issue: 19/1/21 06:31am, alerted to missed block at 6am, worked out the issue was with recently rotated KES keys through CNTOOLs which was declared current KES period of 804 instead of 150 which led to the error:
{“at”:“2021-01-19T06:31:46.00Z”,“env”:“1.24.2:400d1”,“ns”:[“cardano.node.Forge”],“data”:{“credentials”:“Cardano”,“val”:{“kind”:“TraceNodeCannotForge”,“reason”:{“keyStart”:804,“kind”:“TPraosCannotForgeKeyNotUsableYet”,“wallClock”:150},“slot”:19471615}},“app”:,“msg”:””,“pid”:“2755309”,“loc”:null,“host”:“nostalgi”,“sev”:“Error”,“thread”:“58”}
New KES keys were issued manually by 10am which allowed the final assigned block of the epoch to be minted.
