I guess it is time for another update about the delegate landscape of Ark. You should check out the January edition to get the starting point of the delegate politics.

Private Delegates (15)

There were not much changes and we still got the same 15 private delegates in the top 51.

ares, arkane, arknet, bbclubark, doc, emotive_ark, forginator, hippopotamus, kolap, pitbull, rasputin, samuray, superstar, therock, tibonos

Special Requirement Delegates (3)

Also no changes in this category of half private and half public delegates. It is still the same 3 delegates:

arkx, biz_private, yin

Team Delegates (6)

There are the following known team related delegates:

arknet, arkx, chris, dr10, quarkpool, tibonos

I added arkx as he is doing a lot of work for the team.

Public Delegates (33)

We got the following new delegates since January:

arkade_delegate: running game tournaments for Ark outreach

provolve: profit sharing, reportings and lottery

arkoar.group: working on coding projects for Ark.

locama: profit sharing

We lost these delegates to make room for them:

criptodogg: lost too many votes while not forging

doom: lost too many votes, didn’t try to gain voters

ryano: still involved in ACES

anamix: lost too many voters, tried to gain voters but failed

That’s the currently forging public delegates:

arkade_delegate, arkgallery, arkland, arkmoon, arkpool, arkoar.group, arkship, arkworld, arky, axi, bioly, biz_classic, calidelegate, chris, dafty, del, dr10, dutchdelegate, ghostfaceuk, goose, jamiec79, jarunik, locama, pieface, quarkpool, ozpooldelegate, provolve, ravelou, sharkark, sharkpool, thefoundry, toad, wes

Pure Public Pools (20)

I moved pieface and sharkark to this group as there was no obvious contribution in the last months.

In: locama

Out: doom, criptodogg, anamix

That is the full list:

arkgallery, arkmoon, arkpool, arkship, axi, bioly, calidelegate, del, dr10, ghostfaceuk, jamiec79, locama, ozpooldelegate, pieface, quarkpool, ravelou, sharkark, sharkpool, toad, wes

Contributing Delegates (16)

We some some changes in contributing delegates in the last months.

In: arkade_delegates, provolve, arkoar.group

Out: ryano

Current list of contributors:

arkade_delegate, arkland, arkmoon, arkoar.group, arkworld, arkx, arky, biz_classic, biz_private, chris, dafty, ductchdelegate, goose, jarunik, provolve, thefoundry

Added goose to this group as he started pythACES.

Related Delegates

We still got the same related delegates:

biz_classic and biz_private

bbclubark and emotive_ark

arkpool and quarkpool

doc, forginator and therock

Competition

We saw some serious competition in the last 2 months with a lot of shifting rankings. Some delegates dropped out of the top 51 for some time and got in again. In the end you can sum it up that we swapped 4 public delegates for 4 other public ones.

Sharing Ratios

I tried to gather some information about the current sharing ratios.

There are 15 private delegates without known sharing ratios.

Sharing ranges:

There are 5 delegates that promise to share 100%

There are 4 delegates sharing 96%-99%

There are 10 delegates sharing exactly 95%

There are 2 delegates sharing 91%-94%

There are 12 delegates sharing exactly 90%

There are 3 delegates sharing between 80%-89%

Key figures:

Most delegates share 90% (12) or 95% (10)

The average sharing ratio is 93%

Intersting to note:

There is no direct correlation between current ranking and sharing ratio.

Sharing ratios have slightly increased compared to January
