Replying to Avatar BITwise 🐳 >>= RIGHTish

I've got an old ass i5 2500k (3.30ghz) with 8gb DDR3 running win7pro sp1. I'm sure I can scrounge up a spare 1TB ssd.

Is this sufficient to run both a Bitcoin and LN node on the same machine? Do I need to separate the LN node in any way? (ie seperate partition or VM)

Also... any way to leverage a NAS that's currently in-use as active backup? Would I be potentially putting personal data saved in the NAS at risk? What if I added a VM to the NAS?

Lots of questions... pls halp!

You could just run a node as a VM on your NAS as well. Depends on how much you are running already on it and how capable it is.

I'm running a Synology DS723+. I haven't upgraded the ram so it's on the stock 2gb 🤮. But I did set up 2x 1TB read/write cache nvme drives on it.
