Ether staking is too difficult, according to community members

Some argue that it would be healthy to admit that Ether staking is not yet for everyone.

After the Ethereum network transitioned to Proof of Stake (PoS), Ether (ETH) staking now plays a pivotal role in validating blocks and securing the network. However, some members of the community believe that the staking process is too difficult, especially for ordinary people.

In the Ethereum subreddit, a community member raised the topic of ETH staking and its difficulties. According to the user, it took them an entire weekend to get everything up and running. The user said this might be something those with "ruthless" schedules can't accept. They wrote:

"The Ethereum community loves to sugarcoat usability, but it's healthier to just admit it: It's not for everyone yet."

In response to the thread, another community member also shared his experience in staking ETH and reminisced about the early days of Ethereum. The user noted that blockchain interaction at the time was also difficult before more user-friendly options came out. The community member also pointed out that setting up a node requires "more effort than we can expect from the average person".

In addition to the difficulties of implementation, the issue of bandwidth consumption was also raised. Due to high bandwidth consumption, one user said there is a risk of being cut off by your ISP. another user
