OpenEthereum 3.3.0 rc.14 is out, with a few adjustments for the upcoming London hardfork. Guide updated accordingly.

(I only recommend release candidate versions since xDaichain themselves recommended that too, btw)

#66

Adjusted links for 3.0.0 rc.15.

#67

As per https://twitter.com/xdaichain/status/1458071131764707330 3.3.0-rc.15 is the recommended version for the upcoming London hardfork. Only 2 days left :rotating_light:

Hey @tacotexmex do I need to run the node on a vm? Will running a node open me up to hacks.

#69

No need for a VM imo. You may run a node without opening a single port to your LAN. What platform are you using?

Ubuntu 20.04 is what I’m running on.
There was a post above about it is why I was concerned. Cool cool.
Thank you.

#71

Which post? I think I’ve addressed most concerns.

This is sound advice. I should add a recommendation to use VPN for cloaking home IPs. Thanks!

Hi @tacotexmex I’m interested in run a node but I have a question is there some reward running a node or smtg? Hope you doing well :slight_smile:

#76

Hey :burrito:, hope you’re good!

There’s no monetary reward in running a non-validator node.

The benefits are
:avocado: uninterrupted access to your own RPC,
:hot_pepper: directly submit transactions to validator nodes
:corn: usage for various types of development.

Hope that answers your question. :beers:
