Friendly reminder: Running an Ethereum full node + validators is relatively easy and very low hardware cost (<$500 USD). I'm running a full node and many validators on a low-powered Rock 5 Model B device (pictured is Mercadian Systems' Proteus variant).

To front-run the people who will say you need 32 ETH to run a validator: - You don't need any ETH to run a full node - You only need 32 ETH if you want to run a completely solo validator - You can run Rocket Pool's software on the device pictured and you only need 8 ETH + some RPL to stake in that case

I was experimenting running the Graph indexer on testnet last year and needed a full ETH node for it. The CPU didn't really matter but having more than 4 tb on fast pro grade nvme SSD was a requirement. So how did you manage the fast storage requirement part for that price?

Do you run your own validator just for fun or some practical use case?

I’ll add that it’s also reasonably straightforward to set up (plenty of excellent online guides for entry-level Linux users) and to maintain (mine is maybe one client update a month now). And it consumes very little power (*cough* PoW *cough*).

Really cool, I’ll have to check this out. Do you have a UPS for your modem/router and the hardware?
