I https://t.co/tDRd0HJAb7 agree to the rules outlined in the Operating Rules of the Simple DVT Module for @LidoFinance x @SSV_network Node Operators in the Agile Aye-Aye cluster as seen by my verified signature: https://t.co/yEMdzQg2Ra

Lets analyze this.
23:24:51 The network sees block 104870
23:24:51 i create a blocktemplate 104871 ( like a normal miner, i directly mine the next block and do not wait )
23:25:19 i solve and publish 104871
23:25:21 remote miner creates blocktemplate 104871 just 2 seconds later, thereby refusing my block 104781 and orphaning it. ( remeber: his delay from receiving 104870 at 23:24:51 to creating 104871 is 30 seconds!!! this is an unlikely lag and seems highly intentional )
23:25:56 the remote block 104871 is accepted by my node and the network

51% attacks have arrived on @fractal_bitcoin . I have proof that over the last days, many blocks were re-written and one miner for example mined seven blocks in a row.
This damages smaller miners who solve sinlge blocks as orphans. This damages users as the order of transactions like #BRC20 , #Inscriptions , #Runes and #Ordinals can be re-arranged or frontrun. ( A double-spend attack is unlikely when you wait for enough confirmations. )
Its just very dangerous when the hashrate is so low in comparision to the number of sha256 miners out there.
My wish: Implement a strong 51% protection.
My proofs:
Block 105215 to 105217, orphaning my 105216
Block 105208 to 105213, orphaning my 105208
Block 104871 to 104877, orphaning my 104871

800 Ethereum Validators running smoothly on my nodes thanks to #ethdocker and @ssv_network . 6 different clients for network diversity. hardware-wise each node needs ca. 8 of 24 cores on a Ryzen 9 5900X and 20 GB RAM. I also have 4 nodes on mainnet - come stake with me!

Nodes are back online - Interuption took 90 Minutes. Reason was a proxmox node expansion, which took the cluster out of quorum. Here a hint for everybody in the same position: don't restart multiple nodes at the same time. Call this on one node at the time and then wait until sync members increases
systemctl restart corosync && service pve-cluster restart && journalctl -u corosync -f | grep "Sync members"

"Cool cat on the beach" generated on my 24GB GPU as a result of joining as a @Livepeer AI subnet orchestrator. Thanks to the efforts of the developers, great documentation and the help of @EliteEncoder and @transcodeninja i got the stack of docker, nvidia-container-toolkit, livepeer_ai_orchestrator and ai-runner text-to-image_SG161222_RealVisXL_V4.0_Lightning running in under three hours. Next step will be image-to-video. Delegators can take profit from my my high-performance setup of multiple GPUs up to RTX4090 through the standard livepeer delegations - you earn 40% on your LPT, plus job rewards in ETH for both video transcoding and AI: https://t.co/jQSBOuKeLb . You can also do liquid staking on @tenderize_me https://t.co/9f6hqAA8ND
