Reset and repurpose old MacBook into a Bitcoin node.

Full node if disc space allows. A pruned node if not.

Yes or no, why or why not?

For the sake of discussion, this is the only piece of hardware available.

Sell it, buy an even cheaper PC for $50, stack sats with the rest

Ppl pay too much for MacBooks and offer no advantage for a node over a much cheaper pc

Imho

This is a very rational idea. We also have an absolute piece of crap PC laying around somewhere. Next to zero storage, overheats watching YouTube. Use this too? Lol

Slap a used SSD in that bad boy and you're off to the races. Mac is too valuable for a node, id much rather have the sats 🫡🫡
