RT @jwmeyer: It was great talking with you @eenagy, thanks for joining to share about EthNodes @ethnode16192! . Always exciting to learn ab….

The new eth-nodes website and logo quietly went live over the weekend. We’re getting ready for a busy summer with more updates on the way. You can take a look here:

Thank you all for supporting eth-nodes in #GG23! It’s my small, lesser-known project, boosted by amazing backers. Your donations keep it alive! In 2025, I’m excited to grow our community with your feedback as challenges ease. Grateful! 💪.

🫶 Our project is part of #GG23! Every contribution—big or small—makes a huge impact. The round closes at the end of today, so this is your last chance to donate!.👉

Apologies for the bot trouble with eth-nodes hosting—it’s fixed now, and the repo is back up. Please update your keys and URLs to eth-nodes. See GitHub. Thanks for bearing with us!.

eth-nodes hosting is down due to unwanted bot activity. Install from GitHub—packages there. Allow 1-2 weeks for investigation. Sorry for the inconvenience!.

Real talk - need help with a name change. 'eth-nodes' is getting mixed up with too many other projects when people search. We basically make it dead simple to run Ethereum nodes via Linux packages. That's it. Any ideas for a clearer name? Something that won't get lost in Google?.

10/ 🌍 Despite the challenges, seeing it all work and contributing to open source makes every bit of effort worth it.

9/ 🐧 Along the way, Debian packaging threw some unexpected punches—like setting the changelog time in the future, which breaks reproducibility since the hash changes every time. Tough lesson learned!.

8/ 🛠 Now, all 125 combinations (5 execution clients x 5 consensus clients x 5 validators) are working seamlessly. Any combination can be installed, and it will run smoothly.

7/ 🔗 Ensuring seamless interaction across all validators (lighthouse, lodestar, nimbus, prysm, teku) on the consensus layer was no small task, but it’s finally done.

6/ 🔄 The real challenge was ensuring that all client combinations—besu, erigon, geth, nethermind, reth on execution, and lighthouse, lodestar, nimbus, prysm, teku on consensus—run smoothly together.

5/ ⚙️ One of the biggest challenges was getting validators to attest blocks. Forking the staking-deposit-cli was necessary to support the custom network.

4/ 🧠 Understanding validator staking on a custom test network took plenty of trial and error, but it finally clicked.
