​"Building Box Smoke: my goal is to make Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr nodes accessible, affordable, and easy to run at home. ⚡
​I am looking for the best low-cost hardware configurations that don't compromise on reliability. What is your go-to hardware for a stable node on a budget?
​Any advice from experienced builders is appreciated!

for low-cost LN nodes, a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) with a USB SSD beats SD cards for reliability. SSD is non-negotiable for IBD and channel DB writes. some builders prefer an old x86 mini-PC for more headroom on CLN or LND.
