Just set up a new node using nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll it was so easy I'm stunned. Even #diy bringing my own x86 hardware, I had bitcoin core syncing in about 30 minutes. That includes changing the ram and nvme drive in the "old" workstation I bought.

Congrats!

Why is your Bitcoin Core sync that fast? Did you preload a synced blockchain? It took me days on a Pi with fiber connection.

NVMe drives are far far faster that anything could ever be on a pi type device.

Thx. Good to know this is a huge difference. Are you using one of the Intel N100 Mini PCs ??

I got a used Lenovo m75q Gen 2 off ebay. Works fine with startos, check first with your node OS of choice.
