- spelling fixes
- use the correct sintax for notes
- em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not
rendered properly
- fix a link (was to a .html, should be to .md)
- add missing dots
- every sentence should be on a separate line: it makes future diffs
much nicer and easier to spot the changes
With https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4420 implemented, the
checks that we perform are equivalent to those of a `SYNCING` EL - as
such, we can treat missing EL the same as SYNCING and proceed with an
optimistic sync.
This mode of operation significantly speeds up recovery after an offline
EL event because the CL is already synced and can immediately inform the
EL of the latest head.
It also allows using a beacon node for consensus archival queries
without an execution client.
* deprecate `--optimistic` flag
* log block details on EL error, soften log level because we can now
continue to operate
* `UnviableFork` -> `Invalid` when block hash verification fails -
failed hash verification is not a fork-related block issue
In optimistic mode, Nimbus will sync optimistically even when the
execution client is offline / not available.
An optimistic node is less secure because it has not validated block
transactions via the execution client and can thus not be used for
validation duties.
* reorganise navigation menus
* update light client guide with comparison table
* add suggested fee recipient and JWT secrets to the merge guide
* add some background info to book readme
* add JWT docs
also limit toc to make it displayable with substeps.
* Use final `v1` version for light client protocols
* Unhide LC data collection options
* Default enable LC data serving
* rm unneeded import
* Connect to EL on startup
* Add docs for LC based EL sync
`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.
This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.
Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!

* update docs
* introduce mdbook-admonish for nice looking callouts
* new section on data directory
* recommend source build for advanced users and direct the rest to
binaries
* more strongly highlight that execution client is needed
* write an actual deposit guide
* remove cruft / fix links / etc
* remove web3 url prompt in launcher script
The interactive prompt for web3 has outlived its utility as we now load
url:s from command line params and config files, preventing the prompt
from correctly detecting when it's needed.
Also, after the merge, a JWT secret will (likely) be needed.
* log notice when web3 url is missing
* fix docs to not mention default that doesn't exist
* fix scripts to properly quote arguments
* systemd: use same service file as package
* systemd: recommend setting up a user
* clean up obsolete / ephemeral notes
* eth1 -> execution, in many places
* clean up docker instructions to match the experience of running the
runner script
* add basic instructions / links for execution clients other than geth
* clear a few more references to JSON-RPC, update to REST
* update hardware requirements with execution client extras
* start talking about merge requirements (this needs a dedicated page)
* note that binaries do exist, where relevant
* list gitcoin under donations
* update syncing docs
* `NOT` is for `NOTICE` in logs
* update rpi hardware recommendations
* prevent automatic doppelganger restarts in systemd service file
* update nimbus book readme
* Revert "update nimbus book readme"
This reverts commit d568f0f7a37f6e833b37a0111fd59e523864cd97.
* update binaries page
* rm extra emacs generated files
* remove extra emacs generated file
* fix windows typ
* fix eth1 title
* page on adding additional validator
