I’m upgrading my node- what is the best computer for this? I’m hearing Start9 or another Raspberry Pi- is there anything else
Discussion
Raspberry pis are sadly obsolete now. Also probably need 2-4tb of storage thanks to ordinals
An old laptop works great. Just install a 2TB SSD hard disk. You then install Start9 OS or Umbrel, then make sure you install Bitcoin knots and not Bitcoin core if you don't like your node being a jpeg storage node.
Admittedly my last touch point with Start9 was on the old OS, but I have to give it to Umbrel. It’s a sexy UX.
I’d say definitely Start9. I’m personally running Umbrel OS on a Raspberry Pi for now, and it works fine for my needs, but long term Start9 seems like the way to go.
refurbished laptop.
Long term for lots of things Start9
