Node hardware in 2026 — Pi, mini-PC or old laptop?
Counterpoint: my spreadsheet says stop; a shed full of warm hashboards says continue.
Reading this from {place}, swapping a tired PSU for a platinum unit beat every clever tweak I'd tried. Anyone measuring something different?
Been thinking about this all week. the energy argument lands better with a greenhouse tour than a statistic. What's everyone else seeing?
Interesting point above. I keep one flexible rig warm purely for new PoW launches. Preparation beats hashrate. Would you do it differently?
Been thinking about this all week. second-hand M60 prices near me make repair skills worth more than new hardware. Anyone tried the opposite?
Late to this one but multisig with a written recovery plan beats any single clever hiding spot. Numbers welcome.
