 Hello QnA. Could you possibly help with some questions:

How many of these Start9 functions can you feasibly run on single machine?

Also I have access to a mountain of Mac mini and Mac book pros for free. There are both the apple silicone and Intel ones available. Persumably the Intel's ones are going to be fine for running startOS but I am not as confident about the apple silicone ones, any ideas? 
 Should have listened to all the podcast first, sounds like an it depends but it  confirmed my thoughts about doing all the Bitcoin stuff on different machines. 
 Proper computers like that will be able to run pretty much everything the stores have to offer, but yes, I still think its a good idea to separate your bitcoin stuff from your less essential stuff like photo storage. Especially if you have access to free Macs! Sounds like you're a good guy to know, LOL. 
 It's pretty useful knowing people in the industry...even if you just end up cutting their hedges 😁. I was offered some s9s before but he eventually realised they were in the wrong continent 😆 . I have a couple of the pros coming soon and will likely get some minis after that. If you want some let me know.
