Not sure if this qualifies as an intro or not, but here's a start:
I've downloaded and been running a full node for a couple months. Since this involved just downloading and running an exe I'm not quite sure where to go from here. Some questions I have:
1 - Since I had a windows 10 machine, I just downloaded that exe and ran it. Is there a compelling reason to wipe the machine, install linux and run that instead? Note: this machine is dedicated to just being a node, so I don't do much else with it other than browse bitcoin topics. (pc is an older core I7 w/12gb ram and 1.8tb ssd for the bitcoin data
2 - Is there a place where I might find an experienced person to provide some guidance and education regarding running a node?
3 - I've read there are benfits to using my own node with my wallet. I'm not sure how to set that up, or which wallet I should use. I currently use wasabi, but all sats are on a coldcard. I'll read the wallet thread here soon and see if that sheds light. But sometimes the back and forth with a guru really speeds up the learning process.
4 - Is there a consensus here are the best way to setup and maintain multisig?
Thanks.
