Very stoked to share that I'm joining the Ethereum Foundation's Protocol Support team. I'm super excited to work with a team of people who I've long admired and with core devs who are doing much of the hard work in Ethereum /eth-staker is a precious resource in supporting the decentralization of Ethereum's consensus layer and communicating with stakers, so I'll spend the next four months transitioning away from my full time role and making sure that we're well set for minimal turbulence. After that, I'll remain involved as a volunteer (as I was when I first started!) EthStaker's strength is its community. My most important roles in this community have been to keep close contact with stakers, keep up with research to make sure that stakers are well supported and represented, and to make sure that our long-time members have what they need to provide technical support and tooling to stakers 🧵 [ 1 / 2 ]

I still think these are hilarious warfare tactics. It's like angry 12 year olds waging war in an Odyssey of the Mind campaign https://www.reuters.com/graphics/NORTHKOREA-SOUTHKOREA/TRASH/klvynygmjpg/

The amount of happiness and sense of belonging that I've derived from owning a bike in the cities I visit has far exceeded the money that I've paid for those bikes Bikes are my best happiness-per-dollar ratio I've encountered yet

Asking for raises is a whole different ballgame in a country with hyperinflation I had dinner with a friend tonight (who gets paid in pesos) who was mad at himself because he found out that he got the 50% raise he asked for but then found out his colleague who does the same job got the 300% raise that he asked for Hyperinflation means you have to advocate a lot more for yourself but it doesn't get proportionately easier to do so

okay, this is ridiculous. 10 replies from bots. Not sure what channel this belongs in but how do I control this with the automod? This is a very small channel that I own and I don't see this in my other channels

A rough part about nomading is that, to make friends in new *cities*, drinking is often necessarily involved and as I get older I have less interest in alcohol I'm looking forward to being in some place with a bit more outdoor space next month because it allows for healthier activities to make friends

Ave APY building locally: 2.97% Ave APY using mevboost: 3.29% The gap is even smaller when you use a min-bid flag in your mevboost config. The min-bid flag means you build locally unless the mevboost block is worth a lot. You specify the threshold! Enable your min-bid flag! Math: https://ethresear.ch/t/is-it-worth-using-mev-boost/19753 How to enable your min-bid flag on your validator(s) depends on how you're staking. If you're uncertain, head to the EthStaker Discord and ask! Using a min-bid flag means that you contribute significantly to censorship resistance 🩶

This is the current distribution of validators next to the Steam global traffic map. I think this could be a good goal for global validator distribution (whether that's a full validator or a DVT validator)
