This is great information. I recognized the value of these pools early and staked a bunch in the CubDefi DEC/BUSD pool. I've been suffering some of that Impermanent Loss you referred to but my DEC is also worth a ton more than when I put it in. Plus I've been receiving CUB as a bonus (which I happen to think is going to do VERY WELL over the next few months). I'm also pretty sure that DEC will go back down at some point after the Chaos vouchers are divvied out so I'm thinking I'll end up with most, if not all, of my DEC back when I exit the pool towards the end of the year-long airdrop.
In the meantime, I've been struggling to figure out which pools actually qualify for the SPS pts. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for figuring that out. It's been hard to get solid answers.
You're not the only one: there is no official information about which pools qualify for Airdrop Points. The Splinterlands team itself didn't knew the answer, and I had to keep asking lots of team members on Discord until someone was able to get me the full list.
In the other hand, I do understand their situation: the game is growing much faster than anyone could have predicted, it's normal to let those small quality-of-life stuff at the end of the "to-do list".
