My first mention on Farcaster! This is a living document where I document my home staking journey and exploration of the various opportunities in this space as a non-technical person. Hope to see the day when solo stakers = 65% of the ETH network, instead of 6.5%. All you need is 3 hours on a Saturday to get started

Realised that missed attestation alerts via beaconchain are less useful when running DVTs so I created a simple client-level downtime alerts Telegram chatbot for myself. Any solo stakers keen on a fun weekend project to share some feedback? - https://github.com/samuelclk/ETH-node-alerts-TG-bot

This is very cool @nixo, thanks for sharing! We should do a solo stakers' sharing session on interesting tools we are using to make our lives easier

This means that we either need to manually check on our nodes periodically (tedious) or act when the cluster fails to achieve consensus, leading to missed attestations (and free-rider problems).

Missed attestation alerts via the http://beaconcha.in watchlist occur on the onchain validator key level. However, using DVTs means that your node =/= validator. i.e. A cluster of X nodes is responsible for hosting Y validator keys.
