You don't need a separate computer or a lot of space to run a bitcoin node.

You can install Bitcoin core on your day to day computer/laptop and prune it to only take up a few GB.

This allows you to broadcast transactions to the chain without relying on someone else's node.

Please do this if you don't already.

Or drop old man bitcoin and run an #ergo node on your phone :)

I can try this 👍🏼⚡️⚡️

Thanks for the info. I have few questions. Can we run a lightning node on a pruned Bitcoin Core Node? And one more question, Can I run Lightning node on my MacOS without using umbrel or any OS, are there any CLI/GUI interfaces through which I can run a LIGHTNING node?

for validation, sure. But broadcast from your own ip is making links you may not want

Been running Bitcoin core unpruned from home server for sometime now and restricted to using TOR only. Also, I have a lightning node, SANJOSE_UBETCHA instance running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If this wasn't a free-forever service, from a cost prospective it wouldn't make financial sense to...

True but kinda selfish of you 😁

I've got a dedicated hard disk for this on my work pc

The UTXO set is huge and the CPU and memory consumption is enormous. I gave up because it was causing me all kinds of trouble. We need smaller blocks.
