Getting ready to setup up a Bitcoin node once I can find a highly coveted Raspberry Pi 4 without taking a loan for one .
1. Would setting up mining rewards on a wallet on my own node afford me more privacy from snooping eyes ?
2. If I set up my S19 XP ASIC miner with a pool through a VPN, would that hinder my chances with block rewards ?
3. How important is internet speed and/or bandwidth in relation to block rewards and if so what are suggested upload/download speeds ?
Thanks,
Ron
