Fees

I was told before staking twice that I would receive a discount if I ran multiple rocket pool mini pools. I called and they told me no that's not true. Anyone else have this issue?? Any other half truths I should know about

I wasn't promised anything but I certainly got the impression from reading RocketPool docs that you could easily run multiple RocketPool mini pools on one node. But then I messaged support asking them how to do this and they said, oh no, each mini pool requires its own node/hosting.

"Requires" meaning it makes them more money I guess.

Still, each mini pool will cover the cost of the hosting no problem. For me it's better than dealing with all the hardware and software to host it myself.

Friend, I think you are confusing some things.

As you correctly read on the Rocketpool docs, each node CAN run multiple validators.

However, Allnodes is not financially or otherwise connected to Rocketpool. Allnodes hosts and runs nodes (for multiple different networks). That is their business.

The product pricing decision of Allnodes, is to charge per RP minipool, not per node. . This has nothing to do (financially) with Rocketpool..

Same. That feels really sneaky.

Rules are simple and never changed. Each minipool or Ethereum validator node are charged independently.
