A celebration of the Rocket Pool community POAP collectors. Maybe you have one, perhaps six or seven, or even eighty. The question is, do you even POAP? Well, now you can have them all. Magnifying glass not included. AYAYA!!

Tis was the 23rd evening of July. #trading was stirring and ideas were brewing. A dash of creativity and a pinch of opportunity. The 3 Wise Owls created CryptoHoots and offered everyone a way to escape their daily misery called work. Here's the origin of CryptoHoots: https://discord.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163713063288832/868305298128007219

Right when we thought launch was nigh, it was ripped from us by a white-hat guy. How long will it be? We shall see, per diem. When will our time come? Soon™.

On 4th of October a white hat (who chose to remain anonymous) revealed a potential critical exploit in the node side of protocol that could allow an operator to submit previously made withdrawal credentials for a minipool. In the matter of hours the Rocket Pool team examined the sophisticated node exploit and designed a fix for it.

On October 3rd, 2021 Langers from the Rocket Pool team published the full audit results (https://discordapp.com/channels/405159462932971535/405163979141545995/894372662795731003). With less than 48 hours before the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet launch, there is nothing left to do. This is the clam before the storm. All systems nominal - we are go for launch. To celebrate this moment in time, the official "calm before the storm" POAP was distributed and the Rocket Pool Ethereum Mainnet Poster NFT was officially revealed.

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.
