Few relatively noob questions, advises highly appreciated

Product and Content ETH2.0 validator

Hi there @mihailo!

Let’s get to it question by question:

  1. Orphaned appears when the package that “owns” the volume disappears. I suspect this is an error or a bug. I would wait until @dapplion confirms that for deletion.

  2. The Nodler ID card contains an Ethereum public/private key - it’s a wallet! Inside the wallet there’s a NFT (Non-Fungible Token) that identifies you as the owner of a DAppNode! We will soon reveal a first use case for such NFT.

Let’s get to Medalla:
3. Medalla spent a lot of time - as you mentioned - without working properly. Every validator in the network couldn’t validate properly and everyone lost balance. Inactivity leaks (the small penalty that you get for being offline) are very small and it is estimated that you only need to be online more than 60% of the time in order to start being profitable.

  1. At the moment we don’t support EXITs. The version for mainnet that we are preparing will include the EXIT function. Bear in mind that in mainnet, even if you do an exit, you won’t be able to transfer this ETH until phase 1.5, so it is definitely not advised to do this exit unless you have a very very good reason! (or it will be locked and not giving returns for an undeterminate amount of time). Other alternatives are strongly preferred.

  2. Yes. You can derivate your withdrawal key from the seed phrase with a derivation tool. There will be tools for that for sure! As an example, this is how you would do it: https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ - WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OF THESE ONLINE TOOLS. If you must, run it locally.

  3. No. Exit is only to exit the validator set. Once you exit you can’t go in again.

  4. Yes!
