What Hardware do you use exactly? Any additional harddrive etc.? And for setting it up you Need a Laptop etc?
Discussion
I used a Nucbox, it is just a minipc. They are about $200 on Amazon. I'll link the one I got. You can evidently run one on Windows, but from what I read Linux is highly preferable. I knew absolutely nothing about Linux, although I admit I have been in a technical position as a developer, DBA, data architect, and I've run multiple windows based GPU mining rigs back when that was something worth trying.
I started by asking Grok what I would need. Then I ordered a NucBox with enough drive space (1TB minimum) and decent RAM.
I literally had Grok walk me through the whole thing and it was a very, very long discussion as I had many problems and had to repartition the windows drive and learn about Linux along the way.
Hint: If you go this way, tell grok to give you one step at a time, otherwise he spits out the whole plan, you run into a problem on step 2 and the thread gets huge.
This is what I bought. It has room for 4 NVME drives which is a huge amount of room. I have 59 incoming connections to my Node, which is kinda cool.
