yeah, good point , sik. in fact, when an entity decides to sunset its services, it’s always beneficial if they simply submit the scheduleLeaveCandidates extrinsic. however, it seems that many cannot follow these straightforward actions. It becomes extremely necessary to utilize governance to move them to a chilling state, as a significant number of their delegators suffer from this issue. many of them don’t pay attention to the fact that their collator isn’t producing blocks, and they stake without receiving any rewards, which can be disappointing
It appears that the situation within the active set on Moonriver has sufficiently stabilized. currently, there are no issues with collators competing for a place in the active set. however, when market conditions change and entities with 4 collators shut down their nodes, the high level of self-bonding can pose an issue for new collators. as we previously discussed, we can adjust the self-bonding in accordance with changing market conditions and the situation in general
however, we should not greatly underestimate the self-bonding amount. I believe that the self-bonding of 1000 MOVR may be reasonable, since too low self-bonding can potentially lead to a repeat of the situation when collators compete for a spot in the active set, which, in turn, destabilizes the situation. but this is solely my point of view on this issue
