Node is different than mining. Mining is an extremely competitive business I don't recommend it, maybe you can just get a bitaxe to go down that rabbit hole and learn a bit.

Nostr relays really should be run in the cloud

You can run a Bitcoin node on your current computer, just install Bitcoin core on it

so what does a BTC node do then? transactions?

It is software that interacts with the Bitcoin Blockchain - validating and broadcasting transactions

do I make sats from it or is it just for me to use?

Just you, no sats

thanks. I have more questions but i'll hit you up another time.

dinner here now.🫂
