Poo, minimum 32 ETH or at current prices $19k. This reinforces my dislike of staking. Only making the already rich richer. Keeping lesser ETH holders out of the profit.
But who am I kidding; if I magically had 32 ETH to stake I'd probably feel differently.
i.e. can an ETH holder somehow delegate a pool to be able to stake with that ETH but not spend it?
The trick is that as the pool leader, you have to put up a 16 ETH stake and other participants pool together to make up the other 16 ETH.
If you misbehave as the pool leader, your 16 ETH is the first to get slashed.
They published a blog post this week talking about how they are pushing back their roadmap until the Eth1/Eth2 merge, though.
Their proof of concept was working great on testnets.
