Rocket Pool

It has been 1 year since my RP node went online, since that time I've been lucky enough to get 4 blocks + 1 sync comm

All in, I earned 0.86 ETH from the initial deposit of 16 ETH + 1.6 ETH in RPL
~5% APY earned from ETH staking

However, since then RPL has dropped 80% vs ETH (-1.3 ETH)
Thus, I'm 0.86 - 1.3 = -0.44 ETH net after a year of staking with RP
This is not including hardware / maintenance costs.
So, no - small validators are not sitting back and making bank from staking
There are real risks involved

Of course these are paper losses / sunk costs
Let's see how things look next year

RPL is really hampering rocketpool growth.
NOs having to compete with speculators is dumb
