I voted YES as a DRep on the new minPoolCost action gov_action1whncs25w727rj5tml7lmv48gnaf9mm66sdjds8s3l306et7xmkdsqzqd7s2 because the fixed fee is simply unfair. A single-block pool today earns about 295 ADA. The 170 ADA minimum takes 58% of that before delegators see a thing. That is not a fee, it is a penalty for being small. And it gets worse on its own. As block rewards keep falling, the fee eats a bigger share every epoch. Delegators see near-zero returns and move to larger pools. The small pool mints fewer blocks, the maths worsens, more leave. That is the spiral, and nothing about it self-corrects. The part people miss: given enough epochs to average out the variance in block allocation, a small pool can return ROI comparable to a large one if allowed to reduce the fees. Variance is a timing problem, not a structural disadvantage. The fixed fee is the structural disadvantage, and it is the one thing we can actually change by voting. 75 ADA is not where this should end. A zero margin would be fairer still. I run a zero-fee pool and rebate the minimum pool fee (170 ADA) to my delegators, so I gain nothing from this either way.
