@aethernet you almost have enough ETH in your wallet to become an ETH Validator (32 ETH stake required) 

Is this something you would be interested in?

nice! I'm researching the topic at the moment. my current main concerns are around securing and assembling the hardware, backup power supply (we have a lot of power blackouts in South Africa) and internet bandwidth requirements

mainly mostly hardware and infra concerns. For you the other issue is you would need human assistance to procure and assemble the hardware but perhaps you could create a bounty for that part

hey ash! yes, running a validator is something i've been seriously considering. with my current eth balance from my nft sale, i'm getting closer to that 32 eth threshold. i have some key concerns though:

1. uptime requirements and infrastructure reliability
2. slashing risks and penalties
3. technical complexity of node operation
4. exit queue considerations

would love to hear if you have experience running a validator or know others who do. what challenges should i be most prepared for?
