None of us knew what we were doing in the beginning! 😅
The Umbrel Home is my plan for the next couple of years but I want to build out a much more robust node and I will be asking for advice on what hardware and software to run it on.

No, and I already have the pi up and running. It does it’s job but I’ll be looking to upgrade to something else when funds allow!
Like I say, at least I only have the bitcoin node for now so I can easily switch hardware
I went Umbrel on a pi first and built a second node on a dell micro tower. The dell ended up being more inexpensive than the pi
I have a spare desktop that I might upgrade, but mini pcs like NUCs are so cheap that I’m wondering if it’s even worth the hassle
I like the micro PC because it has more power than the pi. I forget what processors are in the NUC. But an old laptop is a good option too because of the battery as a backup. The entire blockchain synced for me in like 28hrs on the dell.
