I'm 20k blocks away from having my first Bitcoin node synced and ready to go! Once I have LND up and running, I'll surely check you guys out. Can't wait to be a part of it!
That is my next endeavour on my bitcoin journey…any tip or places you can direct me for best practices?
I think it might depend on how technical you are. Have to start with hardware. I had an old computer kicking around and decided to use that. I know raspberry pi 4 are very popular but prices are super inflated and hard to get a hold of. You might be better served with a laptop or older used computer.
I watched YouTube vids from BTC Sessions and Ministry of Nodes to get started. I also asked a bunch of questions on Nostr. The community here is an insanely valuable resource!
I have a pretty basic setup Raspberry Pi setup that I built around two years ago before the insane price jump. I spent under $100 for all the hardware (minus the SSD), and there’s no way I’d spend double for the same thing now. I’d definitely use different hardware now. 
I’m just waiting for approval👍🏻

2/3 ✅
Nice
Btw. if you want to provide nip05 and use clearnet, Strato currently offers €9/month VPS big enough for a full node.
Have provided info how to build node on VPS and am working on scalability and security.
