Good morning my friend been meaning to run my own node the hardware is expensive for me right now I do have a few old pc’s I have tried with no luck I will one day
Discussion
What's your budget to run your own node?
What’s it cost to run a basic LN node? I have a few older windows pcs I could use if possible just can’t afford new hardware right now
I use a refinished mini pic Dell Optiplex, see link below for ~ 250 US$
I5, 16GB ram, 1 TB ssd
I suggest you to use your old PC, it'll work just fine 😉 for your needs. No need to buy new hw.
Ministry of nodes has good how-to videos
Thx for the upload watched a few videos I feel more confident to try it today never been great with software I’m more of a hardware person need to get my wife involved she’s the software genius in this relationship
