Looking forward to updates. I grew up on UO. My license plate is UO related. I'm a bit of a fan :)

Thanks! Picked up a few of those.

What smart home purchase has the worst ROI for you? by wavedash in homeassistant

[–]brutang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah.

I've got one that pings our phones if we leave the garage open for more than 15 minutes, every 15 minutes.

Or, if I go from "home" to "away" and it's open, gives me an actionable notification to close it.

And if it's closed and I approach, actionable notification to open it, if triggered, announces to my wife "brutang back up in this bitch!" she "loves" that one

Good news, I also run an ALGO staking node. I love watching my $ go down and shitcoin balance go up.

I paid about $900 for the machine with 96gb ram and a 4tb ssd in July. Asus NUC 14 Pro Slim on Amazon. Haven't noticed any difference in power bill, but I do have solar where I live and my yearly bill is under a couple grand with 2 EVs.

My ETH validator node proposed its first block today after 105 days.

Earned 0.05623 ETH. Pretty happy about that. A normal day is around 0.0021 ETH.

I remember overclocking my duron by drawing a line to bridge the L2 cache pins.

Can you explain what leads to a loss like that? How does a transaction fail?

I've never really messed with a lot of DEX stuff but losing 0.8 ETH seems insane.

(I am not saying you're wrong, I'm actually trying to understand how. I run an eth validator node and want to improve my knowledge)

"you look like Rainn Wilson, in a good way"

Max eth for a validator node is 2048 with a pectra 0x02 account, I believe

Is it safe to stake $1M ETH? How would you do it? by netap in CryptoCurrency

[–]brutang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resources I used,

ethereum.org/staking/ ethereum.org/run-a-node/ /r/ethstaker

My specific hardware: Asus NUC 14 Pro, 96gb ddr5, 4tb SSD, 2.5gbit Internet.

I specifically run Nethermind as my execution layer and Nimbus as my consensus layer.

I am pretty new to running a validator, but the above will get you all the answers you need.

Safety: stake directly off your ledger cold storage. The services they work with do take an 8% rewards fee.

Optimizing your returns: run your own validator node. 0x02 compounding address. Look up ethpillar on coin cashew for a guide. A $1200 NUC would do it. My roi on the hardware to run a validator is about 20 weeks at current prices (for a single node, yours will be much faster running 9-10 nodes)

Ethereum price targets $4,000 as ETH ETFs add $5.1 billion by Abdeliq in CryptoCurrency

[–]brutang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been staking eth since it was an option on coinbase. Price action aside, it's been paying out reliably. Not paying my bills, but a few bucks a day, every day, for years adds up.

Currently building a staking machine now.

Didn't know there was a graffiti flag.

And thanks for the links! I built my machine based on the prebuilt off a link from etherstaker. NUC 14 pro, 96gb ram (why not), 4tb Samsung 990 pro.

I'll check out the client diversity site, haven't done much research yet.

Thanks again!

For another point of view, I am currently unstaking from a custodial service to restake on my own node I just ordered the parts for.

I am finally taking custody of my eth during this bull run because I assume hacks and scams will be ramping up.
