For the heck if it, I went to look at the listings for used laptops (<$200 CAD) and there are a number of them that could meet the needs as a bitcoin node. The only thing needed is additional storage such as a 2 TB drive for under $150 CAD.
Total cost is $350 and you have a fully functioning node and extra storage for hosting files.
This is a reasonable cost for running a full node we we owe thanks to those who fought on the side for keeping smaller blocks. Thanks to their efforts, we don't need to spend a boatload of money on hardware to verify our transactions.

If you are curious about the size of a bitcoin transaction, then you nay want to read this post
This reminds me of Frank Rizzo of the Jerky Boys.
"Wtf you talking about pieces. Pounds, baby. Pounds!"
because it is an alternative that offers so many benefits such as protection against debasement, reducing the weaponization of money, and gives power to the people rather than a few.
Party leaders don't have that long a shelf life in Canada. Several years to a decade is the norm.
Does anyone prefer Bitcoin Core over Knots? If so, why?
Liberal infighting is at an all time high. Trudeau cannot survive as leader for much longer.
You still have an opportunity to consolidate your utxos while fees as relatively cheap.
Don't forget to perfect your tit signing technique. No doubt that thanks to this latest revelation, you will be asked to sign dozen of tits (both men and women)
I don't care if you rename it to petes, it will always be sats to me
I'll need to try that out. The last time I installed Arch, it was quite the process 😀
Installing Arch is quite a feat!
Idiots with too much capital on their hands. Time will erode that to nothing.
Don't fuck around. Learn to use either Debian or Arch.
