Nicely done. How long have you had the Bitcoin machine? What’s your review?
I’ve had it since October and no issues with the node itself. There FAQ isn’t the greatest, especially for newbs, but it wasn’t a big deal. My apartment complexes Ethernet is what gave me the most trouble
Good to know. Might look into this when I’m getting close to the 1TB mark
They sell the housings separately too
If you’re on a budget or just trying to save sats, you could build a node on your own. It’s not terribly difficult as long as you follow a guide.
I’m running a low-budget node currently, but looking to add a few more this year for experimentation
Same. I kinda want an arsenal of experimental nodes
Unfortunately the opportunity cost is time and sats
The LTP approach though is, what if your time and cost invested in experiments today lead to great benefits to the network tomorrow (or in the next 10-20 years)?
Very true. Knowledge is power. Lots of factors at play like income, net worth, time horizon, and necessity. In my situation I feel like prioritizing sats is the best payoff. At least until I’ve hit my stacking goal
Nice, experimentation is always needed. I have two nodes, but I’m looking to expand to a third possibly.
