.NET 8 Standalone 50% Smaller On Linux
41% of EVM nodes on Ethereum run .NET on Linux via Nethermind(https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind).
Ethereum has a Market Cap of $249Bn and $34bn of other assets in smart contracts.
So you could say .NET on Linux has under management $116Bn and handles $800m of asset transfers per day, napkin math

Nethermind v1.20.0-RC released today I'll probably wait for the final release before upgrading on mainnet, but I've already been enjoying the massively improved logging on Goerli.

Happy with Nethermind, reinstalled and was offline for only 10 epochs
I've been concerned that my Nethermind docker container has been taking too much disk (1.13 TB), so I decided to delete it and start again, specially because the new versions (https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind/releases) say they are storage saving options.
- Nethermind v1.19.0 released! Significant storage reduction.

Daily Goerli: A whole lot more detail on the lighthouse db corruption issue I posted about previously. There's a warning that's been quite frequent on my erigon nodes for a while that doesn't seem to have any impact on its performance. I asked if it should be downgraded to INFO here.

Did I really waited 259 days and missed a 2,29 ethereum block proposal?
