Hey nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev & nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8
I really enjoyed the podcast and decided to take Guy up on he's offer to donate 10k sats 😊
https://nodeless.io/donate/Crowdsourcefornode
All donations are appreciated and will be used for a lightning node.
Thanks for the inspiration 🙏
page not working on firefox mobile. donate button does nothing
nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 is this a known issue?
Working fine we've processed hundreds of donations this week, working on my Firefox mobile... could be over hardening or something on their settings?
ok tested it back an forth. problem is with amount client siide check code. if you enter under 1000, on desktop you get error message. but on mobile you dont get, and dont know what is going on. try to set amount under 1000, you will see. tnx
What hardware are you planning on getting?
I was thinking on:
RaspberryPI 4b 8gb
Argone one v2 case
2tb ssd
But I'm open for suggestions if you've got them 😉
I’ve got a dozen ideas that beat the hell out of a pi, starting with the oldest shittiest laptop you can find. A pi isn’t the target product you want unless you’re a DIYer who needs gpio. It makes for a terrible bitcoin node.
I’ll be putting some hardware up for sale in a few days.

Interesting. The Pi is energy efficient tho.. Where are you located?
A rpi pulls ~5w (little more I think). These desktops pull 35w at full utilization with a cpu 5 times more powerful. An old laptop might be 65w or even 90w but would still outperform the pi with ease while giving you a battery backup along side a built in mouse and keyboard for convenience. Plus upgradability as far as ram goes.
But what good is sipping power when they regularly go down? I’d rather spend a tad more to have reliability.
I’m out of Chicago. I just had 2 plebs pick up desktops at our bitdevs, where I brought in HP Elitedesk 800 G3’s, HP Probook 450 G3’s, & Intel NUCs to showcase tradeoffs between hardware choices.
You've got a point.. I'm in the Netherlands so shipping old hardware is a no go😅
But I'm intrigued by the old laptop idea..
On what OS do you run the node's?
Lol ya, sorry, you’re on your own there.
I’m preloading Proxmox, what’s called a type 1 hypervisor. It lets you run 1 or more virtual machines inside 1 or more physical machines. I liken it to internally commoditizing compute, storage, and memory so that you can utilize them best.

So you can choose what OS the bitcoin virtual machine (VM) runs, and that may be different from what your mempool container’s OS is. It’s totally up to you, proxmox does all the heavy lifting.
Thats an interesting approach, thanks for the tip.
Do you have experience with UmbrelOS?
That looks like a easy solution.
