Long story short, we need to build up the stake.
The minting of blocks is random, but the larger the stake pool is, the more likely you are to mint a block.
However, with a smaller stake pool there are more rewards to go around. Unfortunately, with 40k ADA in the pool, we are likely only to mint a block a year (roughly). A block is worth around 1000 ADA, and once we mint it would be divided between the 6 delegators in our stake pool.
So small stake pool, less likely to mint a block, but more rewards to go around. Large stake pool, more likely to mint a block, less rewards to go around.
We’ve found the sweet spot we need to get to is around 100k ADA staked. That will have us minting a block every couple months (roughly).
In the meantime, we just have to work on building up.
