Title: Where to run Bitcoin Core + Lightning? Post by: NickofTime on December 27, 2022, 03:21:05 AM Looking for a dedicated device that would run 24/7 and my main consideration was Raspberry Pi 4 but as it turns out the Raspberry Pi foundation stopped servicing the retail sector because they realized they'd make more money servicing the industrial and government sector. I'm not sure what the tried alternatives are. I'm essentially looking for a single-board computer, but I'm willing to go all the way to a minipc if I have to. Perhaps a Mac Mini?

If you're looking for Raspberry Pi 4 alternatives, consider this option https://pine64.com/product/rockpro64-4gb-single-board-computer/Quote Hexa-Core Rockchip RK3399 4 gb version costs $79.99, but for spinning up both Bitcoin Core and Lightning nodes you will likely need to buy 1TB+ SSD for data storage. The list of reliable hardware (external SSD) can be found here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-external-hard-drive-ssd,5987.htmlUp to 4GB LPDDR4 RAM PCIe 4x open-ended slot Optional 802.11ac WiFi with Bluetooth 5.0 Gigabit Ethernet Bootable microSD or optional eMMC module |
