This isn’t for me, but for a guide I am making targeted towards individuals with a high percentage of their net worth in bitcoin who are ‘becoming their own bank’.
The computer would be used to access a Start9 server running a Bitcoin node and electrum, and would have Sparrow installed
Then any laptop or small computer on aliexpress would be fine. Or if it would only be used for that a phone with nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskueq555fk2 would be enough.
windows is terrible for accesding local start9 for some reason. mac works easy peazy and is probanly most user friendly for your use case,, and also a levono thinkpad with ubuntu flashed, then download brave onto it and follow start9 instructions to install the local cert, that is easiest ive found. but windows experience will suck, trust me.
Thanks yea that’s my sense. Once a Mac user, Windows is like a foreign language!
