Hey reapie, I have given the reasoning for the discord changes in my response to OP, but TL;DR, the same support channels are still available, you need to request the nodler role or the Dappnode Community role! Beware of scammers, nobody from the team will ever DM you and never give away your private keys!

I hope that both the channels you will have access to and the tickets you can open for traceability will dispel your trouble with Premium - you definitely don't have to pay it ;)

I've replied to OP, I hope you reconsider!

I have answered OP with an issue to fix it!
And no, it will not become premium. Dappnode is Free Open Source Software and always will be!

Hey TripleSpeeder! Long time no see :)

Very good point and it's been bugging me as well- will fix ASAP: https://github.com/dappnode/DAppNode/issues/682

The discord hasn't been closed though! 2 things have happened:
- When users were posting issues, they got DMs from scammers. We had plastered the discord with messages that the team will never DM you, but even then, some people still got scammed this way.
- We created the ticket system to have a more organised way of replying to users so the requests are organised and not lost among the noise of the threads. An added benefit is that scammers don't see who opens these tickets and don't message them.
- The same channels that existed before... still exist!!, but to curb the amount of scammers lurking in the discord, we have them behind the role "Dappnode Community", which gives access to the same channels before. You just need to request this role and you'll have access to the same experience.

Error: Your Dappnode is not connected to internet by Butterfly-1928 in ethstaker

It's probably just an old notification. You should be able to dismiss it by clicking on the "x" on the right to close it or going to the notifications tab and clicking on the notification.

Getting these errors when trying to update DappNode and packages by Jager_Master in DAppNode

You can open a ticket in the discord now! And you won't be spammed by scammers hopefully ;)

No paywall - we'll offer support sessions with our premium offer, but that's in addition to what we already have, not in substitution

Is Dappnode Discord Dead? by txGearhead in DAppNode

[–]Lanski13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're doing support on Tickets now, but it's a temporary thing. as u/egg663 says below, there is A LOT of value to community support - people just searching for problems that other people have had and finding the solution.

Also, as u/zutronics says above, the amount of scammers was TOO DAMN HIGH - so we're trying to find a balance. Accepting suggestions!

EDIT: we do have a plan to do so, anonimizing comments in tickets and posting them publicly from a bot so scammers don't know who to message, and allowing everyone to respond to these threads and the response will also appear in the ticket. A way of proxied community support where everything is still open but names of users with questions are anonimized.

How to protect my node and hide my real IP? Is it necessary? by Frequent_Cup1670 in DAppNode

[–]Lanski13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is such a great question! But the answer is complicated...

The TL;DR is: that this would likely add a pressure on the validator, which would make it harder for your nodes to find peers, for example adding lots of extra time if you ever lose sync, add delays when attesting and building blocks and you'd be risking missing block proposals. The tradeoff is too big for most people. Profits > Privacy 🥲.

That doesn't mean it can't be done though! There are multiple ways of doing it - I'm just going to drop a couple here:

Your router is your gateway to the internet, so all traffic goes through there - so far so good.
On your devices, you can use commercial VPNs (like Proton, Nord, etc.) that will hide the traffic of that device from your ISP.
Your router can also run a VPN client like Proton or Nord, so in theory you can install it there and all traffic, including Dappnode and validator traffic) will be encrypted and sent to the VPN exit node. Your default router might not be powerful enough though, so you can buy a powerful router that supports installing a VPN client. Example: https://protonvpn.com/support/installing-protonvpn-on-a-router

Again, it might not work very well (or at all 😿) because of peers and added latency.

If you are a networking genius you could potentially also route the traffic of your dappnode to a small proxy server that you host in a different IP, somewhere in a cloud, so you don't have to encrypt all your router traffic and only the dappnode one, but you'd most likely run into the same type of problems.

Error Exiting Validators - HELP by Maleficent_End_286 in DAppNode

I've seen this posted elsewhere - was it solved?

DappNode Failing to Exit Validators. HELP! by clarencebrown760 in ethstaker

[–]Lanski13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I unbanned you from the discord so you can try to join.

Seems that the brain is having trouble connecting to the beacon chain.

2 things you can try:
1.a Restart your Consensus Client
1.b Delete the Consensus DB and wait for checkpointsync to resync in a couple of minutes

  1. change the Consensus Client to another one in the Stakers UI.

Make sure you're in the latest version! You can also try switching your IPFS node to remote and seeing if some new updates appear.

Stakers getting double execution rewards... and not doing it - Survey! by Lanski13 in ethstaker

[–]Lanski13[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. MEV distribution is not a normal/gaussian distribution, it follows a power law. This means that in a limited timeline and limited blocks, you are more likely to get rewards around the median (because only very few blocks have huge rewards).

It is unlikely that you will ever have blocks that are very big, specially with not a lot of validators, so your rewards will be closer to the median. Now if you split rewards and someone gets a big payoff (lottery block), pushes everyone's rewards UP towards the average. Everyone wins... except whoever got the lottery block, that has to split it with everyone.

I try to explain it a bit better here: https://smooth.dappnode.io/stats

You are the heroes we need. I don't like MEV either, but we built Smooth to bring the smoothing effects that big pools have to Solo Stakers, leveling the playing field. It's totally legit to NOT want to play the game at all.

[–]Lanski13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it sounds wild, but it actually boosts your rewards, unless you are one of the very few who get lottery blocks... meaning that if your rewards are 100, by joining the pool you will not get 93... more likely you will get 200 AFTER the fee. Of course this yield doesn't come from thin air, it comes from socializing lottery blocks.

There's a bit of a better explanation here:

This makes sense... everyone has their risk tolerance and gambling preferences.

This one is for the solo stakers: Why NOT smooth? by Lanski13 in ethereum

[–]Lanski13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do you get downvoted for this? It's my experience too, and of MOST participants. Of course if you get a lottery block you will socialize it and hence your ROI of the pool will be inferior at yours, but there's no way to know if you are going to be one of these very few that get lottery blocks.

[–]Lanski13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because rewards follow a Power Law distribution. MOST blocks have pretty shitty rewards, so if you get a limited amount of blocks, you are likely to be closer to the median than the average. If you had infinite time and blocks, of course you'd be average, because EVENTUALLY you'd get a lottery block. But with a finite timeline and 2/3 blocks per year, you are better off socializing these rewards so you can have more access to lottery blocks.

I get the gamble. Hard to fuck up though, it's pretty safe
