It's a dud. Maybe this laptop isn't good for a node. 🤔
Here are the minimal requirements 
Its meets the spec?
I have had nothing but bad luck when it comes to running nodes.
I’m using it on a 6 years old laptop (i3) with 12Go RAM + 1To HDD. It’s running smoothly.
nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll can you help here please ?
Nah. I think a node isn't going to run for me.
Well over ten tries with various configurations. Different computers.
Same result.
Not a node.
Just lazy machine.
😂😂😂 Did you try Umbrel ? Umbrel is more resource needy than Start9 I think !
Tried that too. Slowed right down to a brick state.
Tried hand rolling my own. Different shit, same result.
Not a Node.
Did you try running bitcoin core directly on your machine ?
Yup. Slowed right down.
I’m running out of options here 😂😂
Imma buy a node I think.
If you can afford it yes 😂💜🫂
You can buy machines from nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll or nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct they both do hardware products !
Maybe we can help. Can you provide some more details about the hardware here?
This error seems to indicate the drive has a capacity that is not a multiple of 1024 bytes, which is...odd. Might be somthing quirky about the hardware.
So after getting it to run in rescue, it loaded fine except for not connecting to wifi.
I suspect its the laptop modem. Any chance you know of a driver that might kick everything into gear?
lets gooo
