Replying to Avatar BITwise 🐳 >>= RIGHTish

I've got an old ass i5 2500k (3.30ghz) with 8gb DDR3 running win7pro sp1. I'm sure I can scrounge up a spare 1TB ssd.

Is this sufficient to run both a Bitcoin and LN node on the same machine? Do I need to separate the LN node in any way? (ie seperate partition or VM)

Also... any way to leverage a NAS that's currently in-use as active backup? Would I be potentially putting personal data saved in the NAS at risk? What if I added a VM to the NAS?

Lots of questions... pls halp!

Even that old machine is better than a pi, it should be fine to run a node from.

I keep trying to zap u but it isn't going through for some reason. It says completed on wos... but not showing on Amathyst. That or I've just zapped you a bunch of times. In that case, sry not sry for the zapspam!

Thanks for the zaps. I think it is due to zaps going direct to my node but the nostr client not seeing it? Will need to look into it.
