no zap?
Not until I can do it in a non custodial fasion. Almost got my LN node back up. Appreciate the thought though.
Discussion
can you recommend a normie/newb "friendly" node to play around with? i am certainly interested in this
Urm depends your tech skills. If you want a more plug and play solution Id recommend start9 also Rasblitz.
If you are comfortable with a command line I'd say just install LND and thunderhub over your fullnode and go from there.
thanks, i am not comfy with command prompt but i know what it is. i have the ambition. looking to turn my old jet engine ps4 (or 3) into something productive
What hardware platform you use for your node?
And oldish dell optiplex. Cost a little over 100$ to get that plus a 2tb ssd.
It was still cheaper than getting a raspi assuming you can find one.
I have a rasp pi from an old project I can use. I want to try a beaglebone black though. Those are available not sure if they are underpowered or why no one uses those for nodes. People don't like command line only maybe?
If i found the right board then yeah thats really underpowered for a node.
Have you looked into rockpro's at all?
I had not. Those are nice. If you were to ballpark it. What is the minimum processing power and ram needed to run a node? I'd like to drive the power consumption down eventually.
But, either way I think I gonna order a RockPro64 4GB to play around with. Then maybe experiment to see how the cheaper less performance SBC from them hold up. Their hardware is a large step up from the BBB at similar price points.
