Ten nodes can be running at the same time without all ten having 30 days behind them.
Suppose five Clarke nodes start together. Five more start 10 days later.
If both groups keep running, when the first five reach 30 days, the newer five have run for 20 days.
I'm sharing this for a Rally campaign and may earn a reward.
The @GenLayer Pre-Mainnet Staking brief says a node must run on Clarke, the testnet before mainnet, for at least 30 days to be eligible for a seat. Aiming for 10 seats means running 10 nodes at the same time.
I recently asked what happens if the maths gives you half a validator seat. Now I'd want to see the start date and running time of each node, not just a total saying ten are online.
Staking Points count something else. Each staked GEN earns one point per day. The Portal leaderboard shows where you'd stand if the programme ended today.
At the mainnet snapshot, Foundation-backed seats are allocated in proportion to points, subject to eligibility. If selected, you start as a validator backed initially by the Foundation's GEN. Validators earn GEN fees on transactions they process.
You can run the nodes yourself or use a node-as-a-service partner. If using a partner, I'd ask how to check each node's status. I'd also want GenLayer to clarify how downtime is counted; the brief doesn't spell that out.
If you were tracking a Clarke node, what would you want to know first: when it started, how long it has run, or how downtime affects the 30-day requirement?
Pick one and tell me why, or add something I missed.
Someone touched my shoulder and told me to quit soapy. When I turned around, there was nobody there.
i was in magboro with my guys. horny as fuck. nivea everywhere. baby oil by Speed Darlington playing.
then i felt a hand on my shoulder. like someone who knew me. and a voice said "stop soapy."
i turned immediately. nobody.
my guys were still laughing and stroking it round like nothing happened. but i knew what i heard.
i didn't say anything. what was i going to say? "guys God just touched me?" while we were horny? lmao
i didn't pour another one that night. that was 3 months ago, and i haven't soapy since.
The first week was hell tho. i couldn't eat. food just didn't make sense anymore. i couldn't sleep either. i didn't realize how much my body depended on nivea to function.
People think quitting is just "stop buying." no. your body fights you. your mind starts negotiating. "just one won't hurt." "maybe only weekends."
I’d been soapying every day for almost 10 years, so i knew it wouldn't be easy. it took about 3 weeks before i could eat a full meal and sleep through the night again.
i'd tried to quit before. never lasted. but this time felt different, like the desire just left. and the song playing that night was literally called baby oil. you can't make this up.
I always thought soapy gave me inspiration, that every brilliant idea came when i was soapying. that's what soapy makes you believe. it's a lie.
3 months clean now. my head has never been this clear. my work rate has gone up dramatically, and i'm eating cleaner because no more munchies.
Was it God or was it the soapy? was it my own mind? i honestly don't know. but something touched me that night, and i haven't been the same since.
If you're going through it right now, the no appetite, no sleep, all of it, it ends. hold on. and if you're waiting for a sign, maybe this is it.
