Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but…

Is the speculative investment scam, which crypto substantially represented, finally dead? Can we go back to buying gold bars and Pokemon cards?

I feel like it is, but I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why it lost its sheen. Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?” Maybe the rug just got pulled enough times that everyone lost trust.

      Not recommended though, RPIs aren’t really suited for production, plus I think only Nimbus runs well on RPIs?

        I think he’s confusing a validator with a node. You can easily run a node on a Pi.

          Ah that would be make sense, but most people wouldn’t see the point in running a node. People automatically think of “mining” or “validator”

            Yeah I run my own node because I don’t want Infura or Alchemy collecting my data.

            Looking to set up my own validator within the year with Rocket Pool too.
