So I run 3 nodes:
An upgraded Umbrel Home with the Bitcoin Core and Lightning Node, this is a full node and has several channels and if I keep it balanced, which I donβt bother to do now, could earn routing fees. I also run a full Liquid blockchain for any L-BTC or L-USDT that I have.
An upgraded RPi 5 8GB RAM with 2TB SSD, this was a full node, but Lightning crashed several times and I lost 0.2 BTC in channels due to not backing up sufficiently. I donβt trust this to hold liquidity, but I do run it for other tasks, such as running the Monero blockchain and experimenting with password managers, BitTorrent clients, server monitoring and password managers.
Start9 node running on a Lenovo NUC with 32GB RAM & a 2TB SSD. This is currently powered down because of this:
