May i ask what kind of setup you use? Umbrel, start9, etc?

Absolutely! I ended up getting a mini pc, Nuc 11, and had someone up the hard drive to 2TB. Then downloaded Ubuntu and I’m running Umbrel. I link the node to my Mac for the screen. Of course, now Start 9 and Umbrel have new slick versions of their plug and play, but I like that my hardware isn’t dependent on them. Umbrel is super simple. I know start 9 seems to be a favorite now, figured I’d start easy and can always switch if needed. The new version of Umbrel seems to take care of the security issues I was made aware of.

Thank you! I was looking at simply starting with btc core on an old laptop. We'll see, thanks for your input.

Feel free to reach out anytime!

Congrats you got it up and running! Nothing like validating txs in your own mempool 🤩
