The principal goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done.
- Jean Piaget

me

Hello, my name is Alessio

Software architect with 10+ years of experience in Space/Ground systems of the European Space Agency (ESA).

I'm an Italian who spent 11 years of my professional career in Germany and moved to Paris (FR) in 2022 for a brand new life chapter. I joined Cardano in Feb 2021 and I share the same mission goals.

This stake pool rewards will be used to support one of the many project that I follow privately. I strongly believe that bringing education to people who don't have access is the best we can do for underdeveloped countries.

Stake Pool

Ticker: DEV

The DEV stake pool ID is the
pool1e2tl2w0x4puw0f7c04mznq4qz6kxjkwhvuvusgf2fgu7q4d6ghv (ca97f539e6a878e7a7d87d762982a016ac6959d76719c8212a4a39e0).

Hardware specifications:

The DEV stake pool runs on a high specs VPS (Virtual Private Server) equipped with 6-CPUs, 16GB RAM and NVMe Solid State Disks


Topology:

The DEV stake pool is composed by one relay server, and one block-producer server. Once the number of delegators will grow and blocks will be minted in a reliable way, a second and eventually third relay node will be added. On top of that, in order to maximise the security, a locally stored and always offline machine is used, paired with a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet.

Up to the 20% of all the rewards that the DEV stake pool gets are used to support the projects that support career development and education principles.


Transparency:

We are committed to share all the donations and stories behind the projects that this stake pool supports, in a transparent way. All the updates are regularly shared via the Twitter account


Security:

Thanks to my computer science experience I guarantee that the best techniques are always applied across all the managed servers of the DEV stake pool


Reliability:

The DEV stake pool servers are monitored 24/7/365 to ensure the best rewards for our delegators.

Projects

These are the educational project that are supported by the DEV stake pool. For the moment mainly african countries are supported but in the future other underdeveloped counters could be added, depending on the performances of the stake pool and the numbers of delegators.

If you want to support these projects and you believe that education can bring a brighter future, please consider staking your ADA with us!

Donations overview

I met Aliou during my trip in Africa in 2018. This trip was what started all my support projects in Africa. Aliou has three beautiful boys (from left: Papa Laye, Fallau and Babakar) and since then, I'm supporting their education.

In 2018 when I first met Aliou's family in Senegal

I met Mutarr in Gambia during my African trip in 2018. I immediately like his determination and I wanted to help him achieve his goals. Mutarr life dream is to become a school teacher. He's a hard worked man with a lovely family.

I visited the elementary school in Wassu in 2018 and I was immediately shocked by the condition of the place. Even the Gambian government refused to recognise the school officially

Kids were attending their lectures sitting on the dirt, without even having a place to sit. This was for me heartbreaking.

With the help of the local community I managed to ask a local carpenter to build benches and desks for the Kids.

In few days a set of benches and desks were already made!

Together with the furniture, I also supported the locals to pavement the floor of the class, to avoid having dirt. The kids were very happy to finally have a place to sit and learn!

In order to get the Gambian government official recognition of the school, learning material was also bought for the kids.

Romeu is a kid from Guinea Bissau that I started sponsoring back in 2013. At that time (in this photo) he was 8 years old.

I sponsored Romeu with SOS Children's Villages until 2019. SOS only allows sponsoring kids until they reach high school. Romeo loves playing soccer, especially as a goalkeeper.

This is the last picture I have of him. It was taken just before leaving the SOS village. Romeu now lives with his sister and he's in high school.
