Daily Goerli: I've been testing this PR for besu for the past several days, and the stability of nimbus-besu has improved substantially. Looking forward to it getting merged into main.

Yes, it's gotten better. I don't recommend pairing with nimbus until this issue gets fixed or prysm until something is done to reduce the amount of time it takes to recover from being offline for a day or more.

Daily Goerli: On Friday, I reported a RocksDB issue that was causing besu to error and exit immediately. The bad commit has been identified and a fix has been issued. lodestar-nethermind somehow ended up on an invalid fork which isn't resolved by restarting either client. Waiting to see how each client team responds and if they need more info, but might need to do a resync.

Help needed to navigate in lodestar code
I think I found it. This pull request helped me: https://github.com/ChainSafe/lodestar/pull/3782

Somer's guides are awesome and extremely thorough, but they help you learn to build a validator from scratch. In practice, I always download client binaries rather than building from scratch. You can find the lodestar releases page here.

My mainnet lodestar node crashed today. Thankfully, the validator process switched over to my backup lighthouse node without missing a single attestation.

Daily Goerli: I've been periodically running into some issues when updating nethermind which require force killing the Nethermind.Runner process. Recently had an issue where geth in lodestar-geth thought it was waiting for updates from lodestar, but lodestar was reporting connection refused. A restart of geth fixed it. I'm currently running into No state found for id 'head' in all lodestar instances, which was supposed to be fixed by this PR. I also recently encountered a long stack error from erigon in prysm-erigon when closing to update, but restarting both clients allowed sync to resume.

How to merge an Ethereum network right from the genesis block
The following sections outline how to configure an execution-layer client and a consensus-layer client so that they have everything in place to execute the entire merge already in the genesis block. Here, we'll use Geth and Lodestar.
