17 sats \ 2 replies \ @stack_harder OP 6h \ parent \ on: Should I get a cold card? bitcoin
how can i run a node without spending sats? i was planning on getting something cheap , just dedicated to being a node. my old computer is sadly too shit
that sparrow guide was very good though, it's convinced me i should just go node first instead of an extra cold storage
I've been able to run a node on an old Thinkpad x230. I don't know how shit your old computer is but you may still be able to do it.
If it's disk space that's keeping you back, just prune. People say it's bad, but I don't think it's that much of a trade-off (you still verify everything), and it's a lot better than not running a node at all.

it's so bad that i once it's on, it's just unusable and frozen all the time etc
even getting a browser going is hard work
i figure better get something new and dedicated to only being a node
