9:30 Summary of Stake Pool Fees and Choosing a Pool

The main fees are:
1 - Pool Fixed costs - which is normally set at 340 ADA as this is the minimum set out by the network.
2 - Pool Margin % - set by pool operator and can be anything from 0% to 100%

Other factors to consider when choosing a stake pool are
Pool Pledge - This is the amount of ADA contributed by a stake pool operator at the start
Saturation - this is determined by the k value and this is the point at which new delegators negatively affect the rewards other delegators receive
Performance - how well has the pool been performing in producing blocks and its up time
What the pool operator gives back to the community, is the pool operator active in the community and giving back.
