Title: Mini PC for staking
Post by: broda on October 16, 2018, 07:51:12 PM
Would a mini PC do the job of staking coins/tokens?

I don't want to buy a standard pc due to not having enough space in my room.

Can a Intel NUC do it?

specs:

Intel Core i7-7567U
RAM: 32GB DDR4
512GB SSD
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650

My other question is can i do some heavy browsing on it? Since it has a Dual Core procesor. Other than that just run wallets.

Yes, that PC is more than powerful enough.  32GB of RAM is more that most home computers have.

That Intel NUC has way better specs than most VPSs that are used for hosting masternodes or staking (commons is 2 vCores with 1-2gb of memory), so you should be able to run multiple (probably 8-10+ depending on how resource-intensive the wallet is) wallets on that machine and still be able to use it at the same time.

Some people also use Raspberry PI for staking or hosting a masternode. Bulwark even made their own software to run a node on the PI.

He will be able to drag heavy games, but there are laptops that are better from him and cheaper. Xiaomi gaming laptop, the price of 1300 dollars for a very cool build. Try it, you might like it
