My node is an old raspberry pi 4 with 4gb ram, doomed to die in the next 1-2 years
Explain like i’m retarded why i shouldn’t splurge on a start9 server one with 2tb drive
*i’m retarded

Maybe you don’t want Umbrel, but you can get and set up a better machine for less.

The SSD was an additional ~$150
Friendly tip (forgive me if you already know this): delete all the text before the word “note” and Damus will render the linked note instead of providing a URL that takes Damus users to a browser. Hopefully other clients render the note too
You’re right. I got lazy

Even though each Start9 server is priced just a little above cost, if you can get discount parts you can install StartOS on that too.
You could, but you'd be able to stack more sats if you get an old laptop & put a TB SSD in there.
Oh... I see you're retarded
Try this:
I bought a Lenovo desktop for 90$ w 12gb ram.
Waiting for one cable and setting it up with start9.
Will add a 4-8TB in the future.
#[2] should have some good intel at this point.
The one I got at Bit Block Boom just showed up today, lol Was a little delayed. Cracked it open first thing and was pleased to see they're using good name brand components like the NVMe is a Crucial.
If you get one NoBody, get at least the 2TB SSD so if you want to run servers besides just bitcoind, like electrum or photo storage or something like that you'll have room to grow.

This is the one I have. You asked me that question when you opened a channel to me. 😎
