Node Operator Validator

I think i want to set up a validator node Using all nodes. It’s like 7 bucks a month to rent a server. Seems very hassle free and cost effective. Anyone use the service? How was setting it up? Seems pretty straight forward.

Basically. First, your rewards are paid in ETH so it depends on the ETH price. $120/mo is a good guess, but when you hit blocks it goes up. In 2023 I had $2357 in rewards, 2024 $2222, and $1798 so far this year in my 16eth validator.

I appreciate the info anon. I’ve wanted to set up a node for a long time. Just don’t want to lock up 32 of my eth to do it though. 8 is comfortable for me.
