Lol every one of your notes (including this one) mention Nostr, Bitcoin, and sats. 😀 Be the change ...
For the nostream relay I'm using a 4 vCPU with 8gb memory on Digital Ocean.
This is for the Bitcoin node.
I'm using a Lenovo Thinkserver TS140 i7-4770 8gb 3TB. With Ubuntu. Bought it back in 2015 and it's still humming. I think it will do for now?

I used ChatGPT. I started by asking it the minimum system requirements were for a Bitcoin node. Then I asked it what are the special considerations when setting up a node. I also asked about maintenance once a Bitcoin node is set up and how to keep it secure.
From there I asked it how to install Bitcoin node on Ubuntu with the command line interface.
It gave me a series of about seven or eight commands to the copy and paste into command line which I did.
I did receive one error about Boost not being available and I typed that error into chat GPT as well and it gave me the fix.
The whole process to kick this off took about 20 minutes. Right now my computer is downloading the 400 gig block and my CPU is pegged.
Don't forget to open up the Bitcoin firewall port as well!
Server infrastructure is big ⚡.
Geaking out on Nostr .... New relay and Bitcoin node.
I've read that it can recognize when it's being toyed with and disengages.

You need a out 500gb of free space. The Bitcoin block chain is about 400gb right now and growing.
Just setup a Bitcoin node! By running our own nodes, we're helping to increase the decentralization and security of the Bitcoin network, while also contributing to the stability of the network. If you're interested in doing the same, and need some guidance feel free to reach out and I'll answer the best I can.
