.@coinbase and @krakensupport hold 78k out of 296k validators on the Ethereum beacon chain and they're running @prylabs without any published plans to switch to a non-majority client. Their radio silence on an issue that impacts your funds and our network should infuriate you.

- Just a friendly reminder that with Ethereum gas above 6000 gwei, the chain is still humming along perfectly. Historically, this might have broken things or just caused calamity, now it's just "high gas fees". Big shout out to the Ethereum researchers and developers.
- I ... uhh.. did a thing. It seemed like a fun thing to do and it's totally nonsensical, so that's how I KNEW I must do it. I registered my Ethereum address as an ENS name. From this point forward, please regard me as 0x399e0ae23663f27181ebb4e66ec504b3aab25541.eth
- You think: - Staking is hard. It's not. - You could lose all of your Eth. You won't. - You need powerful hardware. You don't. - It requires constant maintenance. It doesn't. - Only professionals should do it. This is flat wrong. **Staking on Ethereum is meant for home users**
- In case you missed it: the Kiln merge testnet is underway. Right now it's two chains, PoW and PoS. Soon, they'll merge to Proof of Stake consensus. This is a major milestone and marks Ethereum's readiness for full Proof of Stake. The merge will cut our energy footprint by 99.98%.
- This merge timeline isn't final, but it's extremely exciting to see it coming together. Please regard this as a planning timeline and look out for official announcements! hackmd.io/@benjaminion/B…
- The Ethereum network successfully transitioned to Proof of Stake on September 15, 2022.
- To all Ethereans: Take heed. The alarm bells are sounding.
- What if "investing in Ethereum" doesn't mean buying coins and turning a profit? What if it means collaborating to build a highly decentralized network that benefits everyone in the world for hundreds of years? Ethereum can be less about money and more about humanity.
- Imagine being an Ethereum core developer trying to sleep tonight. Going through every line and every commit in your sleep. Having a nightmare that you found a bug and not sure if it's real or imaginary. Tomorrow's a big day! Best wishes to everyone!
