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?
According to lighthouse team, the root cause was beacon node waited too long before requesting the payload header. All details here : https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4312

Crypto’s Ethereum Network Completes Key Software Upgrade Without a Hitch
Which is not true... full nodes are consuming a lot of CPU now... hot-fix was released, but didn't solve the problem completely: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.0.2-rc.0 ... more hot-fixes will be needed

Ethereum's pending withdrawals total $1.34 billion after Shapella
how "radically decentralized" the development of the Ethereum core is. In the past half a decade only 133 devs have contributed to Ethereum source code. 2 devs have written 25% of the code. The first 10 developers have written 70% of the Ethereum code. Consensus specifications the ones that all the clients implement. Half are Consensys employees https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs

There are over 7000 pending validators on the Ethereum test net. Looks like a lot of people want to practice staking before the Shanghai hardfork
Clients dependent on Consensys core and ETH management repo. A client is just the implementation directed by Consensys written in a different language. Fact is about 10 developers are the only reason those clients will update with staking. https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs

Exits are processed at 7 per epoch (currently). There is no queue for withdrawals. See https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3068

How to merge an Ethereum network right from the genesis block
For that, we have to take the vanilla deposit contract from the consensus specs: deposit_contract.sol, get the Solidity compiler version 0.6.11, compile the binary of the runtime part, and create an empty deposit tree.

Centralization of ETH developer community?
The PoS consensus specification
What are some alternatives?
When comparing lighthouse and consensus-specs you can also consider the following projects:
prysm - Go implementation of Ethereum proof of stake
l2beat - L2BEAT is an analytics and research website about Ethereum layer two (L2) scaling solutions.
nimbus-eth2 - Nim implementation of the Ethereum Beacon Chain
ethereum-org-website - Ethereum.org is a primary online resource for the Ethereum community.
lodestar - 🌟 TypeScript Implementation of Ethereum Consensus
ergo - Ergo protocol description & reference client implementation
go-ethereum - Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol
annotated-spec - Vitalik's annotated eth2 spec. Not intended to be "the" annotated spec; other documents like Ben Edgington's https://benjaminion.xyz/eth2-annotated-spec/ also exist. This one is intended to focus more on design rationale.
Nethermind - A robust execution client for Ethereum node operators.
scaffold-eth - 🏗 forkable Ethereum dev stack focused on fast product iterations [Moved to: https://github.com/scaffold-eth/scaffold-eth]
Parity - (deprecated) The fast, light, and robust client for the Ethereum mainnet.
rust-libp2p - The Rust Implementation of the libp2p networking stack.
