nimbus-eth1 VS Nethermind

It certainly seems it will be remembered as a major success story for open p2p protocols on the global Internet of our time.

A great multitude of developers and enthusiasts belonging or contributing to diverse teams spread across the world: developing, debating, and collaborating for years to arrive at the big event.

And it's all been done very much in the public view:

I expect we will see a "merged" client in the future. Nimbus could be the closest of anyone to this vision (nimbus-eth1, nimbus-eth2). Not sure when this will happen though. Anyways, you have to remember -- these are two extremely complicated pieces of software. Just the interface between the two has been developed and tests over the last 18 months. I think there will always need to be serious encapsulation of logic for it to be maintainable.

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.

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
