CRITICAL UPGRADE FOR TEKU CLIENT + Version 1.1.1 of Rocket Pool Smartnode Stack Upgrade
Fixed a bug that prevented nonce overrides from working with nonce 0. (https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/issues/169)

Smartnode RC7 has been released, which includes a new version of Geth that has a critical exploit fix - please update ASAP
node sync and node deposit will now make sure your Beacon Chain client is running on the chain that Rocket Pool expects it to be running on before letting you do a deposit (https://github.com/rocket-pool/smartnode/issues/158).

Rocketpool node on RasPi for additional security
As many here who plan to operate a Rocketpool node probably know, the hot wallet required by the node software is a bit of a hot topic (pun intended). I opened an issue about this some time ago, and there are efforts underway by the developer team to solve this issue. Basically there will be a way to define a separate and locked withdrawal-address, where any withdrawals and RPL claims will be paid out to. This is an important security feature and should definitely be used for mainnet.

Crystal 1.9.1 Is Released
Agreed! There's a couple of fairly large projects in Nim: https://nimbus.team/ (https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2) or https://github.com/zedeus/nitter
Though there's still friction points I've been happy seeing the ecosystem grow lately. The compiler has seen a lot of bug fixes lately too which helps.

[1 Year Review] Status still hasn't released anything or gained any real market share in private messaging
In the same year their beacon chain client followed Bellatrix (Merge) and Capella upgrades without a hitch, which is in many ways more impressive than a messenger.

Daily Goerli: Was getting a lot of missed attestations with nimbus and after some back and forth with tersec, we confirmed that timeouts communicating with web3signer were the culprit. A fix should be merged soon.
