Summary of the Ropsten testnet merge: 🧡
The Ropsten testnet hit TTD at ~16:00 UTC (~2h after the planned time, great accuracy for PoW standards!). The chain was at ~99.2% participation rate with healthy proposals and sync committee performance - Pretty much the perfect beacon chain to merge, easy to see what breaks!
With the help of the community, we hit TTD and the participation rate dropped by ~13%. We began looking at the missing indexes and knocked on some doors. A large % of the drop was from a config issue on the Nimbus team's nodes, that was easy fixable.

Participating in #TheMerge could be the single largest environmental impact I can make in my lifetime. We need to get #Ethereum off #ProofOfWork and onto #ProofOfStake as soon as we can!
Here is some of what I have been doing πŸ‘‡
Genesis Validator πŸ’ͺ
I had no idea what I was doing but wanted to be a part of something big. I now see the holders of this poap as some of the bravest visionaries in the Ethereum community.
Early Testing πŸ€“
I felt like I was late to the game when I first got in. Little did I know how early it was.

Program start out great already, we have over 150 participants. And first docs have been written already! Thanks to @parithosh_j for providing the docker and @lakshmansankar for the MacOS section in the "How to join the devnet" document: hackmd.io/dFzKxB3ISWO8ju…
#TestingTheMerge
Missing part of this document: Instructions for windows and other EL's and CL's. Also looking for someone to write an explanation on how to connect metamask to your local node, get some money from the faucet and send transactions on the devnet.
Adding a new network to met@mask:
Go to the bottom, click on `add Network`
Name: Devnet-1
RPC-URL: http://localhost:8545
Chain-ID: 1337402
Now you can get some funds from the faucet: faucet.merge-devnet-1.wenmerge.dev
(Looking for someone to turn this into a nice looking blog post)

So twitter's spam protection kicked in and I can not answer all the people who contacted me about #TestingTheMerge, so I need to publish the message I'm sending everyone here:
Hey,
Great that you're interested in joining the testing efforts.
I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of responses I got, so I'm currently thinking about how to onboard so many new people to get them started as smoothly as possible.
I'll try to create three different classes of tasks; for users/non-technical testers, for technical testing and for testers that are very familiar with the inner workings of ethereum.

Testing is the best way to contribute to #Ethereum. We are starting a new program to get the community involved in testing the merge.

If you want to do your part in getting Ethereum to Proof of Stake as soon as possible and save the environment, #dm me Image
Can someone turn this into a readable document for getting users connected to the devnet? I'm formulating a document and it would be great to have some starting resources for people to connect to the devnet
