Ok everyone as i said in my first post, I am new to bitcoin and new here to Noster. Looking to get a discussion going. I have been purchasing bitcoin though DCA and smash buying when I can moving to cold storage doing it the way I think is the right way. I made it here to interact more and learn more and feel the next step may be as everyone says running a node and eventually mining. Mining may be a while off for me but running a node may be possible. I have heard from some about building your own system but to be honest that's a bit over my head. Then other recommend the start9 or Umbrel style systems. Those of you who currently run a node what is your recommendation. I would love to hear your thoughts and advice.
Discussion
I'm not tech inclined and run a start9 and knots instead of core (you can find knots in the community resistry). Its great for storing your photos, videos, music and any other data
Also starting to think about getting some miners once I get solar hooked up
