A laptop costs more than $1 per month in power. Make it $2, pay a year ahead, and you have a few VPS options.

I wouldn't install unknown software on my home network. For all I know you'll use it for very bad things.

Looking at his trust page, I would say he's up to no good.

Be careful, never install random applications to your local PC. He's likely looking to hijack your wallets and drain them out.

project Im hiring for audited, downloaded from official github, can find them on marketcap, top 100 coins
anyways possible build from source code for additional layer of security (no binary download required)
2$ VPS is not enough resources, mem pool can take up to 3GB ram, chain snapshot 40 GB
in this range the best deal VPS is $20 month, monthly payment negotiable it can be 20-50% from staking rewards
regarding electricity, with screen off power draw is 5 watt per hour
average cost of a kilowatt hour is between 9 and 10 cents
day of keeping node will cost 0.012 cents

One can simply go for VMware, I hope you like virtual machines?

You asked for 2 GB RAM, 10 GB disk and 5% CPU. That is available for $2 per month.

Even with a VM you shouldn't allow unknown software to run on your home network.

Isn't it necessary for POS coins to have a certain amount of that coin in your node to earn from staking? Also, starting staking is not complicated, it is a matter of one click inside the wallet or just one command in the console.
Did I miss something here?

Very few POS coins are profitable even with the lowest-priced VPS. Their prime ended even before the ICO euphoria.

have to be configured as delegated staking (some POS coins do have this option), node operator does not require coins only master wallet, yes with console command possible

not sure what calculation used for this conclusion, majority of POS coins (smart chain) use
CPU for staking, reward amount increases with coins amount in wallet and not power draw
