Anyone have experience with Lodestar? Running a relay (Aestus) requires CL clients with a little bit of different code to implement relay-specific behavior. Currently only Lighthouse and Prysm have the appropriate changes, and Prysm has been giving us some weird issues with very high CPU and RAM usage, so we're a little Lighthouse-heavy. I love Lighthouse, but we'd like to diversify a bit. Lodestar has an open issue to implement the necessary changes, which is promising.

But Lodestar is probably the only CL client that I've never worked with. I know it's probably easy enough to figure out how to build a docker image for it, and look up the usual set of command line options, but I'm trying to find whatever excuses I can to post to kbin. So, any thoughts on Lodestar?

I wish I did. Back in the day, I went down the list from Prysm to Nimbus, had quite a bit of trouble on Nimbus, and never continued to the final spot on the CL list with Lodestar.

Someday we'll have @superphiz start up a m/ethstaker here!
