OP recommend a simple piece of hardware that I can use to run a node at home.

-will it do sats and BTC on one device?

-what of I want a Nostr node, do I need a second device?

-will I be able to mine enough to cover electricity costs in Alberta?

i'll have more questions

Node is different than mining. Mining is an extremely competitive business I don't recommend it, maybe you can just get a bitaxe to go down that rabbit hole and learn a bit.

Nostr relays really should be run in the cloud

You can run a Bitcoin node on your current computer, just install Bitcoin core on it

so what does a BTC node do then? transactions?

utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 1y ago

It is software that interacts with the Bitcoin Blockchain - validating and broadcasting transactions

do I make sats from it or is it just for me to use?
