Staking ETH on Topaz Testnet

If you follow development on Ethereum than you most likely heard about the awesome team from prysmatic labs who created the Topaz Testnet where you can setup a beacon node and validator to test the upcoming staking functionality once Ethereum consensus moves from Prof of Work(POW) to Proof of Stake(POS).

I followed the well written instructions and managed to setup a validator with actual 3 key-pairs.

The beauty is that you can closely follow how you perform staking wise. Since I am running the validator on my mac and don't have it on all the time my staking results are not very good. For that reason I am planning to buy either a Mac Mini or Intel NUC so I can leave the client running 24/7.

Once I have my new machine running I share the stats and expect they will look much better.
