I honestly think if someone set out to clone @Rocket_Pool and said "We're forking and I think we can do better", people would watch it with anticipation and cheer on the competition (I definitely would). But doing it all sneaky-like feels a little weird

This was contentious! Lots of conversation about whether solo stakers can handle bandwidth increases that would come w increasing blob counts imo, we're right up against limits. Any increase in bandwidth should be heavily data-backed & mitigated w EIPs that decrease bandwidth

This is a BFD that a team has dedicated their time and energy to such an altruistic endeavor. I've used the Rescue Node a few times for my Rocket Pool node and it's incredibly helpful to not feel anxiety while your node is down I love this community

okay, I'll just add my voice here: All three of these people represent liquid staking protocols & have financial interest in those protocols succeeding This proposal is a starting point for a very necessary (& urgent) conversation. imo, solo stakers should be pushing hardest 1/

One location is fairly urban. The other suburban. Internet availability is a limiting factor that we should be paying close attn to if we don't want to give up on home staking & moving to cloud services Afaict, hardware isn't really a limiting factor for anyone rn. Internet is

PSA: maybe it's not well understood but if a majority client has a bug and you're running that client, your penalities will be higher than a minority client bug situation - and, unlike a minority bug situation, those penalities will grow the longer the situation drags on

@drjasper_eth the penalties for a misbehaving client, even a majority one, are tiny. only equivocation does anything really nasty. any pragmatic user would use geth or reth

Did you know that you can now update, prune, or change to a minority client *without missing any attestations at all*? @Rescue_Node recently made its service available to solo stakers Docs: Support: @ethStaker # rescue-node Discord channel

here's an extension of the ethstaker blog post i made a couple weeks ago - nailing down what we mean by "solo staker" and what other kinds of stakers there are some of these can be mixed and matched, too! e.g. you can be a home solo staker

Hey @coingecko - you could set an example here on your Top Liquid Staking Tokens page and denote stETH's threat to the network so casual users are aware when they're looking for an LST to buy ¿¿ CoinGecko 🤝 Ethereum network health ??

Any single actor, entity, or protocol exceeding key thresholds - 1/3 being critical - is a threat to Ethereum's security, neutrality, and legitimacy There are dozens of great solutions out there. Protect your capital by staking with a minority solution

@tomxeth if you'd asked a person in 1908 to imagine superior communication methods, they would've lacked imagination too. it's damn near imposs to fathom how far tech can go, unless you're Isaac Asimov or the creators of Star Trek everything we think of as revolutionary will be boring

In case you missed it like I did, this is a killer thread on where we are with block construction design and how / why we keep solo stakers participating Nearly every tweet can point you on a detour to learn about some new part of the design space

Obviously I'm elated when people are excited by rainbow staking, but I also want to give my own perspective on where it fits in a larger roadmap for staking. tldr: Reasons to be excited, reasons to be cautious, and no easy way out from hard trade-offs to be made

How many hours a month do you think Ethereum node operators spend on validator maintenance, on average? (not professional) The staking survey's got the answer, so the spoiler is incoming

Ethereum is trailblazing a novel Proof of Stake model & everything it does becomes a standard Nothing is yet set in stone bc it deals w emergent behavior that has literally never been seen before & it deals with them in-prod If we were done, it wouldn't be such a nerd-snipe
