there to be solo staking because it's
important because the networks need your
help so I've been solo saking for four
years um this is one of my validator
145 uh I got very lucky this week
because not only I am in Devcon enjoying
the community but also I mind the block
I proposed the block on uh Tuesday uh if
you're looking for me I have the sem all
everywhere and I have a personal history
with sing because my first born was born
actually the day we did the merge so I
had to take the wife to the hospital and
also M on my Note like is it is it is
going to be okay and the cev did an
amazing job and the community did an
amazing job everything went right and
also the surgeon did an amazing job the
kid is super
healthy anyway a little throwback to
when eum friends was born we were
hosting meetups every month we now
hosting itcc as well as Meetup and so on
We're translating uh technical papers in
in French if you're looking for a good
tutorial on how to steak in French go to
wamf fr.com and before that we were
hosting mining Meetup it's was keeping e
Weir you know we were convincing people
to run their Mining Node to run a node
to discover smart Contracting and so on
and now we have a good mission is to
make people stay at home
because it ain't much but it's honest
work it's because we have individual
stakers at home that we are keeping
ethereum from being a glorified
centralized database the censorship
resistance starts with you all in this
room if you care about ethereum you
should stake ethereum is an Unstoppable
machine because we have a lot of
nodes but don't look don't look up too
much it's hard to say from the network
topology on how many nodes exactly there
is going on um if you look at e home
nodes or if you look at e your scan and
different scanners are like yeah well 6
6K give or take uh if you look at the
Beacon chain and the different uh saking
node alive valid validating node on the
on the beon Chain you're like well give
or take maybe
11,000 um yeah so that's that's the
branch like between 6K and and 11k
probably and there's a lot of validators
that have multiple times 32 e on their
nodes so there's a lot of room for solo
Staker we need to get this number down
like go go out and solo stake and I'm
here to convince you to solo stake so
there are different stages of staking
who here is
staking wo lot of solo stakers like go
out there you already know this
presentation and talk to your fellow eum
people get them to solo stake get them
to solo stake until the state of
Illumination home staking where can be
home staking you can stake your e on a
centralized exchange sure you can use a
manage staking um U provider you can be
a liquid Staker you can be a remote
Staker and you can even be a home Staker
you you enter the the fellowship of the
home
staking but not everybody is home
staking unfortunately and the best data
on why people are not solo staking are
probably coming from vitalic polls know
you have um cool numbers like running a
Noe is too hard I don't have 32 e uh I
need to take e instantly I want to be
I'm not a solo Staker but I'm staking
still I want defi yield and so on well
okay if you want other gii yield I I
cannot blame you uh getting richer is
better than getting poorer but still if
you are Solo staking you're going to be
getting a lot of air drops so this is
not a good reason reason to not solo
stake if you have less than 32 e that's
understandable it's expensive now to get
32 e but we have an EIP coming up to let
you stake less than 32 e not be able to
to take out e instantly is a good reason
as well but still we can be better than
that we can be able to to to to withdraw
the E faster there are e coming up for
that if you are concerned about private
key risk
come on you've been handling your
private key if you're sitting in this uh
in this room and there are good things
to manage your private key as well
that's getting better and better so
running a validator is too hard well if
you're picking the the the most common
way to solo Stak you have GE and
Lighthouse if you're running on a boon
tool that's like seven lines of code so
it's not that hard come on you can do it
and if you look at the launch pad from
the foundation there's lot of good helps
what of of easy to understand tutorial
on how to do it each France has one in
French so check it out but even more
there is thousands of Giga friendly chat
to help you on solo staking here are a
few of them uh heaker heroglyph there is
even a community Hub here e Piller
stereum they are here as well the D note
guys like everybody is here to help we
want you to solo stake so go out there
and talk to your friends about solo
staking if you're solo staking you're
also helping up the diversity of the
network which making us even more
resilient you have five flavors of
execution uh nodes and five layers of
consensus nodes so you get to bring the
diversity to the network and more
resilience to the
network okay maybe you're still not
convinced and you're not ready to make
the move well get yourself a d node it's
1K doll or something and get yourself
one nosis chain token and you'll be able
to solo stake with your no chain token
and I couldn't finish this presentation
without an unsolicited node picks this
is my node it's running and kicking and
this is also myosis chain node a little
app node you can do it if I can do it
you can do it and if you want to chat
about solo staking I'll be hanging
around next to the Red Room in the 114
room and you can ask me anything about
solo staking and we have two minutes for
questions so fire
up yeah I wish I had this 32 to St now
but you can also stick with less than 32
solo St not not solo staking pool but
you have staking pools that you can
participate in and there is a I coming
up to let you st one if I think that's
the the objective yep it would be
definitely interesting are there any
questions for
J but if there is no question you can
talk to me outside if you're too shy to
ask of
course come on it's a room full of solo
sakers I know well it's okay you know
you know how hard it is yeah
you won't I get slashed if I get if I
solo STI you won't get slashed if you're
solo staking and just running one
execution node and one validating node
As Long as You Follow the principle of
I'm running a node on the beacon chain
and I'm running one node on the
execution layer you won't be slashed it
won't happen the SL the slashing happen
when you are trying to do weird thing
like I'm trying to have replication of
my execution node I'm running multiple
validating node around the thing it can
end up with you being slashed but if
you're just solo staking with one
machine one node for the execution layer
one note for the validating ler there's
no way you're getting slashed absolutely
not it's not a good reason not to solo
Stak anyone
else and what about uh Power outdates
are like oh yeah so that happen indeed
uh if you look at my statistics on node
145 validating node 145 uh it happened
to me a couple of time that my power
went down and a I was inactive for a few
days or it also happened to me that I I
didn't I didn't take the whole uh the
whole SSD lots of memory thing seriously
so I got like five days of of outage so
when you're not validating you are not
earning and you are losing what you're
not earning so typically if you're
earning like 0000001 e per day uh you
are losing 00001 e per day so if you've
been out for 5 days which can happen
come on you have to be in for 10 days to
compensate the the thing that you lost
well what you don't earn you lost it
thanks but that's okay in the meantime
you are Solo staking and you are making
more than what you usually get on the
mining pools okay we have time for one
last
question um can I run on Old
Hardware it can run on Old Hardware the
main limitation is that you need an S an
SSD like you need a really good hard
drive like a SSD drive and 4 terabytes
that's the the main blocker is that you
need a lot of memory and super fast
memory so your motherboard needs to be
able to handle SSD of course and now in
terms of uh you know processor and uh
and um and and and RAM it it's not that
that expensive it's not it's not that
much so if you have a an old desktop
from like
2018 uh that's fine as long as it can
take an SSD that's fine and you can see
at a at D at D node it's a very
efficient node and this a super small
nuke so like it it's fine okay thank you
very much
J thank you guys enjoy
Devon next we
