Jan 19: Pudim's back in the game!

After another bad epoch due to low stakes and an absent-minded admin forgetting to update the time-servers from Singapore to Germany, Pudim's back on track. She's been extremely stable and she produced all six blocks assigned to her for epoch 37 🎉 🎉 🎉

Jan 17: Pudim moves to a new server in a desperate attempt to regain staker confidence!

After attempting various configuration optimisations such as Chris Graffagnino's set up procedure but still experiencing rejected blocks, Pudim's admin staff noticed that one of the server's CPUs was almost constantly maxed-out even with a low max_connections setting of 256. Nothing seemed to lower the CPU usage, so eventually it was decided to try a different VPS provider and a shift to Digital Ocean was undertaken. We also decided to change country too just in case Singapore was giving us trouble as well, so the new server's in Germany. After a few of hours of operation, the results look very promising with the CPU averaging out consistently to around 20%.

Jan 16: Pudim's performance has degraded so much that her own staff have walked out with their stake :-(

Pudim's performance has been steadily decreasing for a week or so, and people have been withdrawing their stake with a total decrease from 43M to 23M being seen. Pudim's performance was so terrible in epoch 33, with only a single block produced out of 14 scheduled, that even her own staff left in utter disgust!

Jan 4: Pudim makes it into the top 100!

Pudim's ranking in the Daedalus wallet went from 106 to 95 after she produced block 71258 for slot 3718 of epoch 22, and then shortly after a friend noticed it had dropped even further to 88!

Congratulations PUDIM! She produced her first block in the early morning of December 27th 2019 🎉 🎉 🎉
