eth-wizard VS clientdiversity-org

seconding eth-docker or eth-wizard. eth-docker was developed by /u/yorickdowne and eth-wizard by /u/remyroy - both members of EthStaker and both some of the smartest people I know. They're both audited, open source, and automate the staking process.

There's eth-wizard which is a GUI setup wizard and DappNode GUI, and soon there will be NiceNode

eth-wizard can be used to install everything on Windows. Try it out on Goerli so you don't have to use real money: https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard

Windows has limited support from the community but if that is fine with you, you can use eth-wizard to easily install everything : https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard

This one? https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard

Intel NUC, at least 2TB SSD, 16GB RAM - Install DAppNode or use eth-docker / eth-wizard

My tool, eth-wizard, has great windows support. You can find it on : https://github.com/stake-house/eth-wizard

eth-wizard: An Ethereum validator installation wizard meant to guide anyone through the different steps to become a fully functional validator on the Ethereum network. It will install and configure all the software needed to become a validator. It will test your installation. It will help you avoid the common pitfalls. Works on Ubuntu and Windows.

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
