I’m concerned to put any other apps on my node. For some reason it makes me nervous to introduce anything outside to my Bitcoin and lightning node.

I’m the same way lol. Have a dedicated BTC node and then my LN. once I upgrade the LN I’ll prob use that old RPI4 for the other cool Umbrel apps.

That’s where I’m at as well. Still trying to decide what I’m gonna use for my hardware. I need it to be portable. So a mini PC I guess but which one.

I’ve asked many people what they suggest for a mini PC and have had many pros cons. I’m too the point I have no idea. What’s your take on an upgraded hardware for node?

I'm personally not the right one to ask about this. I splurged on an Umbrel Home 🤣

Lol was checking those out. Could piece your own together with same specs for about half price. I plan on just finding a used Thinkcentre with a decent i5 and upgrade ram if I have to with at least a 2TB drive.

I’d like to get some opinions on this too

The way I look at it, as long as I keeps my nsec and private key safe, I'm fine.

Also, I only synced my Bitcoin node so far, haven't put any BTC their yet

That is fine. I have lnd as well so im cautious
