After the Ethereum network transitioned to Proof of Stake (PoS), ether (ETH) staking now plays an important role in block validation and network security. However, some community members feel that the betting process is very difficult, especially for ordinary people.
On the Ethereum subreddit, a community member raised a question about ETH staking and its difficulties. According to the user, it took a whole weekend to get everything up and running. The user said that this might be something that people with “relentless” schedules can’t understand. They wrote:
“The Ethereum community loves embellishment, but it’s best to admit that it’s not for everyone yet.”
In response to the thread, another member of the community also shared his experience with the ETH mode and reminisced about the early days of Ethereum. The user noted that interacting with the blockchain at that time was also difficult until more convenient options appeared. A community member also stressed that building a node requires “more effort than we expect the average person to put in”.
In addition to the complexity of the setup, the issue of bandwidth consumption was also raised. One user said that due to the high bandwidth consumption, there is a risk of it being cut off by the ISP. Another user mentioned that the cost of exceeding the internet traffic limit can negate any bet winnings.
Meanwhile, another member of the community disagreed, stating that the strike should not have been a simple thing that anyone could do. “People keep referring to efforts as getting free money when they aren’t. In fact, you are paid to do something, and this requires a certain amount of knowledge and effort, ”they said.

Although there may be some difficulties with the strike, there have been some positive developments since the merger. On September 15, the day of the merge, daily blocks increased from 6000 to 7100, i.e. by 18%. In addition, the average time it takes for validators to confirm transactions has been reduced by 13%.
