lighthouse VS eth2-validator-wizard

Lighthouse — an Ethereum consensus client (written in Rust);

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.

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

Update LH to 4.0.2-rc.0 More info here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/releases/tag/v4.0.2-rc.0

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

You can install Ubuntu or Windows and use the wizard to install and configure all your clients : https://github.com/stake-house/eth2-validator-wizard

Using the wizard, following the instructions and clicking next

I was happily attempting my first Testnet Eth Validator Node (via eth2-validator-wizard ) when I found out sadly that my CPU does not meet the min specs for Lighthouse.

StakeHouse are building tools exactly for people like you! We have the wizard which is a setup assistant meant to guide anyone through the different steps to become a fully functional validator on the Ethereum 2.0 network. You mostly just read the instructions and click on the next button. It supports mainnet and the various tesnets, but I would suggest starting with a testnet first.

Like tomsueg said, it seems like some people are missing setuptools from their installation. We'll try to add it to our bundle so people don't have to manually install it. See https://github.com/stake-house/eth2-validator-wizard/issues/36

If you want something even easier, you could try the wizard. It mostly follows Somer Esat's instructions but it does it all for you.

Make sure to try a testnet first to see how it feels and get familiar with the tools and setup. The StakeHouse project even have some nice one-click installers for you to try :)

Hey there, welcome to EthStaker! There are a few tools under development within EthStaker for this exact purpose and one of them just added Windows support - The Wizard https://github.com/stake-house/eth2-validator-wizard

We have a nice one-click installer for Lighthouse and Ubuntu at StakeHouse! You can try it risk-free on a testnet first.
