Looking to set up a Bitcoin node—considering Raspberry Pi but open to other suggestions. What’s your experience? #Bitcoin #NodeSetup

If just for core then it’s fine, if you want to do more with it then Pi can be frustratingly slow and better with a NUC

My primary goal is to link my wallet software directly to my personal node, specifically requiring an Electrum server. Future exploration of additional features is possible but secondary for now. Any advice on optimizing this setup? #Bitcoin #NodeSetup

Me too.

I run two nodes. One’s a Raspberry Pi and the other is an old Mac Mini. From my experience both work solid. No problem with slowdowns or anything. Mac Mini also runs a couple of other things with ease.
