That is my next endeavour on my bitcoin journey…any tip or places you can direct me for best practices?
I think it might depend on how technical you are. Have to start with hardware. I had an old computer kicking around and decided to use that. I know raspberry pi 4 are very popular but prices are super inflated and hard to get a hold of. You might be better served with a laptop or older used computer.
I watched YouTube vids from BTC Sessions and Ministry of Nodes to get started. I also asked a bunch of questions on Nostr. The community here is an insanely valuable resource!
I have a pretty basic setup Raspberry Pi setup that I built around two years ago before the insane price jump. I spent under $100 for all the hardware (minus the SSD), and there’s no way I’d spend double for the same thing now. I’d definitely use different hardware now.
