On this momentous day we learn the new whale that's been buying RPL is thomasg. He leaps from superphiz's Twitter straight into #trading and The Gang™ helps him feel right at home. We share "the dybsy video" and have a laugh. It's strange - to have a connection with this person we've never met before, to feel so familiar yet we know nothing about him, to have so much control over us and didn't even know he existed before this day. Is this what it feels like to be in the presence of a whale?

With the impending mainnet launch for Rocket Pool, the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream with members of the Rocket Pool team. The EthStaker crew will be posing question to the Rocket Pool team to showcase why their platform is a great option for solicit as a Staking Pool provider. During the livestream POAP 5 of 8 will be distributed, as we lead up to the October 6th Mainnet launch. Full details can be found here: https://ethstaker.cc/rocket-pool-pre-launch-systems-check/

Rocket Pool is hitting mainnet on October 6th after 4 years of development time! As such, the Rocket Pool community has organized a series of POAPs and raffles honoring communities that share a similar ethos to Rocket Pool. Many of us in the Rocket Pool community owe it to Reddit for the first step. This is thanks for being wonderful hubs of information about the decentralized future. A special thank you to the moderators of these subs for being forgiving to us RPL fanatics and an even more special thank you to everyone that has helped spread knowledge about decentralized staking. Thank you r/ethfinance, r/rocketpool, r/ethereum, and r/ethstaker.

In celebration of Rocket Pool's mainnet launch on the 6 October 2021, the Rocket Pool discord has partnered up with Balancer to do a giveaway for both communities. This POAP is your ticket to enter!

With the impending mainnet launch for Rocket Pool, the EthStaker crew is hosting a livestream on the basics of the security model of being a Rocketpool node operator. We'll start with a short description of the attack surfaces, and progress to a walkthrough of setting up a VPS server as a staking machine with the most essential security precautions. The tutorial will use a macbook client with a Ubuntu server hosted at a VPS provider. 'Mentor' will be presenting during this livestream as he wrote most of the security documentation for Rocket Pool. If you'd like to download the slides you can do so here, in addition to setting a calendar reminder: Event Slides + Calendar Reminder https://ethstaker.cc/events/securing-your-rocket-pool-node-livestream/

A POAP given out to all holders of Rocket Pool's token, as we hit 13k total holders

The current whale is holding the RPL/ETH ratio down due to 10k RPL sell walls at every 0.001 increment starting from 0.0061 all the way to 0.0095. When this wall is eventually breached down, this POAP will be claimable.
