Hi everyone,

This morning I was asking myself, about how to do/manage the thing, if someone stole my pc, with validator on it, and we 're in phase 0 of the mainnet.
Because, correct me if I'm wrong :

  • you prepare an other pc, with the same validators, because it's phase 0, you cannot move funds
  • the thief, may power on the machine, just to see if it works, and who knows, turn it ON with a RJ45
  • you then have your validator on 2 differents machines, even if it's for few minutes, you re gonna be slashed...

Yep, it's a "no luck" scenario, but we know it will happend to some, sadly.

Did someone allready think about stuff like this ?
A way to secure your machine ?
Did someone propose something to the core dev of eth2.0, to migrate your validator ?
For exemple, the "stolen function", where you write the seed of the stolen validator, and it migrate your funds, minus fees, to a new validator with a new seed.
In this case, you are not exiting, and you can do something in case of stolen machines !

anyway, any idea about this ?
