I will help or setup for you a secure cardano stake pool
About this Gig
This gig is for the ones that would like to support the Cardano decentralization by running a node on their own and collect rewards. A proper setup of the staking pool will ensure that you are always able to mint blocks, which can make you earn more than 3000 ADA every Epoch (every 5 days).
I've been helping others to run a stake pool for a few years and have been helping the community to not only setup but also maintain their nodes securely.
FAQ
How is my pool going to be secure?
I will help you to setup the appropriate firewall rules, SSH keys, and will outline what are the minimum required files for each one of the nodes. This will, as an example, prevent people from accessing your servers and stealing your pledge or doing any transactions from your pool.
What is a Cardano Stake Pool made of?
A Cardano Stake pool is composed by, at minimum, 3 VMs: A Block Producer Node A Relay Node An Airgap machine You can also increase the reliability by adding more relays, airgaps or even a standby block producer.
How much Cardano do I need to start a stake pool?
You'll need at least 600 ADA. 500 for the pool deposit, which will be returned once you retire your pool and 100 is the minimum pool pledge amount.
How likely is my pool to mint blocks?
Cardano Stake Pools have higher chances of minting blocks based on the amount of stake they have in their pool and luck, being the amount of stake the most important factor. If you have 1M ADA staked, you'll likely mint a block every epoch. If you have 5M, you'll likely mint 5 blocks and so on.
What do I gain from having more nodes?
Pool uptime and reliability. If one of your nodes goes down, your pool will still be able to continue working properly.
What specifications are required for the nodes?
For Block Producer and Relays: - 4 vCPUs - 20 GB Memory - 500 GB disk For Airgap: - 1 vCPU - 1 GB Memory - 20 GB disk The Operating System I recommend is Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS

We have worked together a few times already. I was stuck in completing a project. He was very helpful in assisting me work through my problem. I did most of the leg work because we agreed on a very low price. His knowledge and direction was well worth it.
