Nostr Web Client

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.

I know you said only piece of hardware but if you can add an ssd that would be great. If you want Bitcoin core to finish syncing

Please Login to reply.

ssd what size min

2tb

not bad

Bitcoin core size is 539GB right now. 1TB would be enough but 2TB is better

peanuts for gamers

maybe use my old msn gx7 destroyer

AMD proc though

Nice!

msn gx70 destroyer, not gx7 lol

it's bulky, but Japanese made

RGB kboard is so sleek but only runs on Win8 if you wanna use the rgb kboard. If you use Win10, no rgb

Thing is, I needed to use Win10 due to microsoft 365 excel and ppt so I'm not using it anymore, maybe set it up again #fortheloveofbtc

what decent brand of docking station though? I may need a new one

So with a standard laptop and no external storage it would have to be a pruned node?

I would think so. Hard disk drive wouldn’t be able to support Bitcoin core. For every block to be validated it wouldn’t be optimal
