I’m just running an update on the script for the latest epochs and I checked the 5 producers who have had no activity (6 keys haven’t met the criteria). Two of them look like invalid public keys. Here’s the output from the daemon for `B62qqdcf6K9HyBSaxqH5JVFJkc1SUEe1VzDc5kYZFQZXWSQyGHoino1` and `B62qpyhbvLobnd4Mb52vP7LPFAasb2S6Qphq8h5VV8Sq1m7VNK1VZcW`. These are both in the ledger still.

```auto
mina client get-balance -public-key B62qpyhbvLobnd4Mb52vP7LPFAasb2S6Qphq8h5VV8Sq1m7VNK1VZcW
Error parsing command line. Run with -help for usage information.

Couldn't read public key
 (Failure
 "Compressed public key \"B62qpyhbvLobnd4Mb52vP7LPFAasb2S6Qphq8h5VV8Sq1m7VNK1VZcW\" could not be decompressed")

```

So let’s assume those keys are invalid, so that leaves 4…

One is this key `B62qowREyBtVMpp8RVkbmfvZgxryNUzcJnRnH9LRs5xgAXkHhLyBEyz` that is now very close and has produced 94 blocks with the help of a delegation. They just started very late (first block end of October) and will _probably_ meet it?

That leaves 3 unaccounted for. One is this key `B62qqiV28EmAXco2BuXoL4wSz3UHCv7zG387FnqYoiCkwNJWRywJ3KQ` which tracks to user ansonlau on Discord. Here is [their post](https://discord.com/channels/484437221055922177/692040190608277534/832266006466134026) but that key was generated via the outdated keygen tool and so inaccessible.

Down to 2. One of these two is known to be unable to access their keys so that would leave the OP as the last key, so assuming they are and can delegate…
