Congratulations to holders of the Kitsugi: Ethereum Merge Testnet POAP.
You have just received a share of $RPL from some anonymous benefactor in recognition of your contribution.
80 $RPL to all! Thank you anon ๐๐ฝ
Congrats to all those who were #TestingTheMerge with our Besu Lodestar Validator guide on Kiln many epochs ago, proposed a block and earned this POAP.
You have a RPL airdrop waiting. ๐ฅณ
Why I call it #TestingTheUrge:
First we had #TestingTheMerge!
Then came lots of words rhyming with "Merge". IYKYK.
Validators staked for 2 years by now must have some non-zero "Urge" to unstake and withdraw, maybe to have a proper holiday.
This upgrade will test this "Urge".
11-24 v1.1.6 - ฤina-kฤri
Artform that puts finely cut mirrors together, similar to the kintsugi artform.
And then, Kintsugi went live! ๐ต A public multi-client testnet for #testingthemerge.
๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ@parithosh_j is on a 'Quest for the Best Tests'.
He part of the DevOps Crew at the @Ethereum Foundation & in his talk he'll be offering up a retrospective on #TestingTheMerge. ๐
๐Catch him on the #Devcon Main Stage now.
Didn't know that the #Ethereum core dev community was *this* diverse. Over 120 devs from 20 countries were involved in the merge (the title is not great but the post came out nicely)

โ Obstacles faced and lessons learned! ๐ช
Watching our product play a key part in #TestingTheMerge has been a rewarding step on our mission to make building a distributed system as easy as building single server apps.

It's been a real pleasure to see Kurtosis in the hands of the brave engineers building and #TestingTheMerge.
The Ethereum community is full of great developers. I'm excited for their work to come to fruition as mainnet approaches the Merge.
If the Ethereum Merge is like changing the engines of a jet mid-flight, Kurtosis is like a wind tunnel for practicing the changes before they happen at 36,000 feet.
