Cross-posting a thought on staking from the other app:

------

Perhaps we should recognize that 32 ETH is much more of a barrier for stakers than bandwidth reqs, and temporarily do a trade where we up the bandwidth reqs a bit and in exchange drop the staking deposit minimum to eg. 16 or 24 ETH.

It's net-good for both staking accessibility and scale. Then once we figure out peerdas, bandwidth reqs go back down, and once we figure out orbit SSF, the deposit minimum can drop to 1 ETH.

I agree. While the 32 Eth is the most visible cost, there is also a cost to get a home system set up and configured. Everyone values their time differently so lowering the capital costs in ETH and increasing the technical requirements could net increase the amount of independent solo stakers
