I’ve been doing my research. 🤓
If you are going to run a Bitcoin node, you've got the right equipment. Seriously consider separating btc from other stuff. Its why I have 2. I'm convinced you'll need to dedicate the drive from the get go but try it out. Start9 is really good. I had an Umbrel for about 5 years, Embassy is better
Agree. One for Bitcoin. The other for home server stuff.
