i wouldnt.
its much less powerful than a raspberry pi 4.

if you are budget constrained and have no other options then you could use it for a node..might as well be pruned at that point to live within the 64gb space but will possibly wear that out prematurely.
these types of units arent workhorses and best repurposed to dedicated light duty tasks. e.g. dedicated arduino coding system, or if in to model trains, it could probably run JMRI to act as a control
Do you think 64gb is sufficient for a pruned node? Just looking to get my feet wet with the software and learn some of the basics. No model trains for me 😂
Yes. My travel node that I took to TABConf is a pruned node and I allocated enough space for 1 difficulty epoch for blocks, and rounded up to 10GB. You dont even need that much, I just did for testing.
If possible, limit the read/writes for synching on that eMMC by pulling from another node. You could spin up virtual box on windows or something for a node as well
eMMC
That’s what I was thinking. Less a budget issue and more “hey it’s sitting there and I should learn to do this”
