Back to collectionReward concerns turn to observation windows and operator availability
A different participant compared rewards over 14 days before a staking change with 16 days afterward while using 3 keys. A reply asked whether the pool owner's node was continuously operational. That question identified a possible factor to investigate, not evidence of downtime. Unequal periods and self-reported amounts do not isolate the effect of pooling; a valid comparison would also need reward-allocation terms and operational records for the same windows.
