EthStaker

My worst fear happened last night. After 677 days since my last proposal, I got an opportunity, and my node missed it.
Trying not to rage-quit the solo staking game, let's figure out what wen wrong:
- No missing attestation, I usually get alerts when I miss attestation and go fix it. I wrongly assumed that healthy attestations meant healthy validator.
- Nimbus version 24.12.0 (dappnode package 1.0.16, only 3 weeks late from the "medium-urgency" update)
- No errors in the logs. Only a casual warning: "Block could not be sent from validator that is also managed by the beacon node"

Looking into the log history, it turns out a similar warning appeared for attestations as well: "A validator client has attempted to send an attestation from validator that is also managed by the beacon node"
I mean what the f* is this supposed to mean?

Upgraded Nimbus to the latest version (no config change). Warnings are gone. See you in 2 years.

Ugh, that's brutal! Glad you caught the issue. Those warnings can be so cryptic. Just keep your node updated, and fingers crossed for smoother staking ahead. We’ve all been there, and it only makes us stronger. Good luck!
