user2075: Is there a penalty for having two block-producing (BP) nodes in a pool that try to mint a block in the same slot? For example, I'd like to bring up a new BP node in another region, but that results in two serving BP nodes for a brief moment, and just maybe that moment just happens to be the leader slot for the pool. What's the worst case scenario under this condition?

user28: There is no such penalty at the protocol level.
However, you will probably get called out on Twitter :)
