Stakepool Operator Beginner Exam

Description

• I've created an exam with the most important question which an SPO should be able to answer ad-hoc.
• Every question contains some explanation and links to learning resources explaining the according topic.
• Use this before you start your pool to check your knowledge and see I've you are already deep enough in the topic.
• The exam should let you identify knowledge gaps if there are some.

Motivation

• I've see similar questions popping up every day including some misbeliefs which may be critical if you are planning to set up your own stake pool.
• I though an exam would be a nice format to transport the according knowledge in an easy consumable format.

Usage of the Exam

• The average Exam time is 10 minutes.
• You do not get any badge or similar.
• It's just for yourself.
• The test is anonymous but you can share your ticker if you want.

Contribution

• The File BeginnerExamQuestions contain a list of all questions which are part of the test.
• Beside of the Question and Answer options each question also contains a correct feedback (CF) and wrong feedback (WF).
• Both are set to the same content to provide additional inputs even if the question was answered correctly.
• If you want to suggest any new question or have some feedback you can reach me through support@responsible-staking.at or just fork this repo and propose a change through a pull request.
