One crucial piece of information that you’re missing is that we had stake from both mSOL and MNDE based direction. As an honest validator, my duty is to ensure the integrity and trustworthiness of Solana to the best of my ability, that includes only running mods with known, beneficial effects, not to assist Marinade in running their business. Marinade should’ve consulted the settlement reports and adjusted their rebalancing priority, but apparently they’ve failed to do so for 46 whole epochs. I’m not sure if I should’ve told Marinade “hey please unstake from my validator because I’m not buying stake” as I’m also responsible to my business. Whether we “cheated” or not will be left to the reader - but I’m confident that we’ve played by the rules.
