Marvelous! There is a validator life cycle, For example, see: https://beaconscan.com/validators, there are pending, active, and exited validators. As the time of writing, the active validator is 507617. Do we count the supermajority (voting threshold) to be 507617 \times 2/3 = 338412? Thanks!

Awesome writeup once again! To confirm, under the conditions of a permanent chain split, the >2/3 validators impacted by a consensus bug would all each lose at least 16 ETH (if not more), is that correct? Or would they lose their entire staked ETH balance? And then once ejected from the network, in order to re-join, they would then have to re-stake 32 ETH. Is my understanding of this right?
