My setup is pretty easy. I got a Lenovo M900 Tiny from eBay, add a 2tb drive (i wouldnt go smaller), install Umbrel from a USB drive (the website has good directions), install bitcoin node from the Umbrel store, wait about 3 days for full node to download. That's it for a basic node.  

 You’re gonna be mad, but I have a 17 year old lap top. 🤣🤣🤣 Definitely need to go shopping soon. 

 If it still works, rock what you got! The above setup can be done for less than $150.  

 Oh it works lol. You think running a node puts a target on your house? 

 I really don't know on that one. I think they would come after me for my miners before my node.  

 Look also into start9 

 Ok. So much information! I love it. Probably need to get a computer first….. 🤣🤣🤣 

 @Start9 or @umbrel is a really good and super easy starting point. 

 Thanks. I’ll research on my lunch break.
