Ethereum

Increasing the decentralization of the Ethereum network means increasing the number of 'node operators' on the network.

This means having individuals/groups running a full node with 1+ validators attached to it.

You can either do this solo (w/ 32 ETH), as a group with tech like DVT, or with a pool like Rocket Pool.

Hey, what's the best option for a nomad in your opinion? Currently I'm staking using LSTs.

Depends how much ETH you have and if you want to be a node operator or not!

If you have enough ETH to be a solo staker, then running a node + validator in the cloud is fine.

Otherwise, you can take your pick of LST and just stick with that (preferably with LST's that have relatively low market share like rETH)

You don't get slashed for being offline - you suffer what's called an "inactivity leak" which just slowly bleeds out your ETH until you come back online.

Very rough maths is that if your offline for a day and then online for a day, your rewards just net out to 0.

will you get slashed if the cloud service goes down ?

Thanks! So if I was at home, I'd use a turnkey solution like dappnode...anything similar available for the cloud? I don't want to use command line, need a nice GUI for my smooth brain.
